Cost and fit for care needs

Some reviews raise concerns about affordability and needing more care than independent living provides.

While some reviewers say costs are competitive, others describe the community as quite expensive and mention being unable to afford it. Independent living reviews also suggest that residents who need more assistance than is generally available may need private caregivers, and one review flags concerns about how changes affected dining and activities. Overall, the fit appears best for residents who want independent living with support such as medication management and meal service, rather than higher levels of hands-on care.
