Cost feels high for many families

Pricing is a frequent point of pressure for families.

A few reviews directly call out the community as expensive or over budget, even when they still feel care is good. One reviewer says they chose the community because it fit their expected cost, while another notes they declined after seeing it exceeded their budget. Overall, families appear willing to pay for care and day-to-day support, but the price is still described as a limitation.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Staffing and follow-through can slip

Some families report missed basic care and delays.

Several reviews describe breakdowns in day-to-day follow-through, including delays with call buttons and routine care, and issues with bathing, meals, or medications not arriving on time.
