Staffing concerns show up

A few reviewers note staffing limitations or turnover.

While most comments focus on caring support, some reviewers mention staffing strain, including limited staffing and turnover. One reviewer frames it as a broader industry issue, but it still comes up as a reason some things may feel constrained.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Upfront eligibility and cost

Eligibility and pricing are potential sticking points for some families.

At least one tour experience ended early because the community was not accepting Medicaid or family care. Another reviewer says the cost is on the high end relative to their price range, even while describing positive aspects of the community and services.
