Memory care staffing concerns
Several residents describe serious problems with supervision and follow-through in memory care.
Some reviews raise alarm about supervision, hygiene, and accountability, especially for residents in the memory unit. A few families also describe situations where care did not respond as expected during urgent moments, and they did not feel issues were corrected afterward. There are also concerns about shift staffing and off-shift oversight, with reports that some employees were disengaged or unkind. Taken together, these reviews suggest families should pay close attention to staffing practices and how incidents are handled before moving a loved one into memory care.

Food and restaurant-style dining
Dining is frequently praised, including chef-prepared options and restaurant-style service.
Food is a recurring positive theme, with residents described as enjoying meals and families noting good variety and choices. Multiple reviews mention a dining experience that feels closer to a restaurant than a cafeteria, including ordering from a menu. Several families also mention chefs or cooking demonstrations, and at least one reviewer describes accommodating options when a resident doesnât care for whatâs being served. One review notes that pureed meals were handled with attention to presentation, which helped their family feel confident about how meals are prepared for cognitive and dietary needs.

Daily activities keep residents engaged
Residents are described as staying engaged with frequent, varied activities.
A strong share of reviews say the community offers plenty to do, with activities running throughout the day. Families mention outings, celebrations, movie nights, bingo, arts and crafts, and other group programming that keeps residents involved. The community is also described as having spaces for activities like an activity room, craft space, and movie room, which supports a busy schedule. A couple of reviews note limits or a need for more resident activity support, but the majority portray engagement as a day-to-day strength.

Pricing feels high for some units
Some families feel the overall cost is on the high side.
Several reviews directly call out pricing as expensive, even while balancing that they felt other parts of the experience were good. One family also mentions paying an additional monthly amount tied to an incontinence program while still needing hospitalization for a UTI, which added to their concerns. Pricing is therefore discussed less as a âgood dealâ and more as something families weigh carefully against staffing, room features, and how well needs are met. If youâre considering the community, reviews suggest comparing unit pricing to whatâs included for memory care and ongoing care needs.

Room size and refrigerator limits
A few reviews describe room-size limits and missing features.
Some families report that rooms can feel too small or less equipped than expected. One review notes that the memory unit room did not include a refrigerator, and another mentions that the rooms lacked certain layout and feature options they were hoping for. While other reviews describe rooms positively, these comments suggest itâs important to confirm the specific room configuration and included features for the unit type youâre considering.
