Higher care needs may change housing

A few reviews warn that leaving may be required if care needs increase.

One review describes a situation where the family felt the transition out was driven by increasing difficulty to care for, even while the facility was still described as lovely. Another review mentions that there is a sister setting for more intensive care and memory-related needs. In addition, one reviewer frames the cost as a concern, saying it becomes difficult to justify as needs change.
