Some concerns about staffing
A minority of reviews raise concerns about staffing coverage.
A few reviewers express worries about having enough staff, including claims of understaffing after hours or limited weekend coverage. Some mention inconsistent hygiene care and describe needing to request services that were not consistently completed. There are also reviews that describe negative incidents tied to supervision and communication, which contribute to a recurring caution about staffing adequacy.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Pricing runs above typical benchmarks
Pricing is positioned at a higher level than county and state benchmarks.
Only a couple of reviews directly reference cost, including one saying pricing felt within budget and another calling it the best for memory care they compared. Still, the posted pricing range is higher than county and state benchmarks across unit types, so families comparing options may want to verify what is included for care, meals, and related services.
