Memory care feels like a fit
Families specifically call out support for Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Costs can be a sticking point
Pricing concerns come up, including self-pay questions.
While many reviews are positive about the overall experience, a couple raise cost-related concerns. One reviewer says the community did not accept insurance and that it was all self-pay, creating hesitation about monthly affordability. Another review also characterizes the community as pretty expensive, while still saying they were willing to keep it as an option for family.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Facility condition varies
Some visitors report cleanliness or wear-and-tear issues.
A small number of reviews describe problems during a visit, including an apartment they saw with visible pests and a general sense that the facility needed more upkeep. Another comment also frames the building as older and in need of updating, even while noting satisfaction with staff and services. Taken together, residents’ day-to-day impressions are mostly positive, but these visit-based concerns suggest inconsistency in how the space presents at the time of touring.
