Several reviews raise concerns about medication checks and medication management.

A handful of negative reviews describe problems with medication administration, including missed doses, delays, and confusion about changes. Another reviewer specifically calls out the need for more frequent medication-related checks in residents’ rooms.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Pricing and staffing feel inconsistent

Some families feel the cost is high and staff coverage can be limited.

Several reviewers mention pricing as a downside, including comments that the community felt too expensive compared with expectations or budgets.
