Cost stands out as a concern
Price and move-related fees are recurring concerns for families.
Several reviews call the monthly cost expensive and describe needing to plan ahead to afford it. In particular, one set of reviews highlights financial policies, including costs tied to leaving and a transfer fee structure. While a resident notes the fee can be less expensive than other options they toured, they still describe sticker shock as a downside.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Limited care options, no memory care
Reviews note the community does not offer memory care or skilled nursing.
Two reviewers specifically point out that memory care is not available, and one also says skilled nursing is not part of the continuum here. That means some residents anticipate a potential need to relocate if health needs increase beyond what assisted living can cover. While the community provides ambulatory and diabetic care services, the recurring caution is about care-level limits as conditions change.
