Value concerns with rising rent
Some reviews question the value as rent increases over time.
One reviewer says rent goes up every year and questions why it is high for seniors, including how it is set. Another review takes a different view and describes rent as more than affordable, so value appears mixed across resident experiences. Pricing for 2-bedroom units is also shown as far below county and state levels in the available pricing deltas.
caveat3 reviews mention this
Management and communication concerns
Some reviews flag concerns tied to management and office follow-through.
A few reviews describe negative changes after a management shift, including changes to community celebrations. Another reviewer says pet policies changed and that their loved one became less involved in activities. Separate from those policy concerns, at least one reviewer reports no one answering the office phone and not returning messages, and another describes a lack of response at the office during an information request.
