Price is a tradeoff to consider

Some families find the monthly cost hard to justify versus alternatives.

At least one family calls out a notable price difference compared with a specific other option and says it may be difficult to justify. At the same time, another review says the community’s rent was lower than other places the reviewer looked at, and that many services and activities are included in the monthly cost.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Care fit may depend on needs

A couple of reviewers suggest the level of care needed may not match every situation.

One reviewer who toured for an aunt decided not to choose the community because they felt it did not provide enough care for her needs. Another review mentions moving to a rehab facility at one point, then returning when rehab was finished, and also compares staffing skills between rehab and assisted living settings. Overall, the reviews point to care expectations needing to be checked against what you or your loved one actually requires.

common 2 reviews mention this

Location is convenient for some

Reviewers mention the location as either convenient or less central than expected.

One family describes the community as close in location and liked it during the tour. Another reviewer says it was not as centralized or easy to get around as some other communities they considered, and that factor influenced their decision. Nearby points of interest include parks and pharmacies within about 1–2 miles.
