Cost feels high to some families

Some reviewers say the community is extremely expensive for the level of care they experienced.

A couple of reviews call out affordability as a concern, including one that says the facility is extremely expensive and another that says fees felt too high. One of these reviewers also links the cost complaint to concerns about medication handling and supervision during a specific period.
