Activities are available, not consistent

Residents describe a steady stream of activities, though engagement can vary by person.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Cost concerns and private-pay flexibility

Pricing is a recurring concern, with some families weighing value and flexibility.

Some reviewers think the community’s pricing should be lower, including one comment tied to changes in hospice involvement. Others express uncertainty about value for cost, while at least one family says the community offered a shorter private-pay period that reduced stress during a difficult transition. There are also complaints that monthly charges didn’t match the meal experience described.
