Staffing shortages and turnover
Some families report staffing shortages, turnover, and rising concerns over time.
While many reviews praise staff, several families raise concerns about staffing levels and continuity. A few mention staff turnover or a pattern of new staff arriving frequently, and one review says key roles like nursing and activity direction were no longer present.

Pricing is above average
Pricing is positioned above county and state benchmarks, with mixed reports on value over time.
One review notes fixed pricing and describes it as affordable for families on a budget, and other families mention good value for the care they received. However, another review says pricing increased sharply over two years, and that higher costs came alongside concerns that led them to move. Overall, the reviews reflect both “worth it” impressions and affordability stress when services or staffing become inconsistent.
