Pricing feels very expensive

Pricing is a major concern for families evaluating the community.

Multiple reviews raise cost as a deal-breaker or a major limitation, describing the community as very expensive or prohibitive for their household. One reviewer also says Medicare is not accepted. Even positive comments about the environment and care frequently come with the same caveat that affordability is difficult.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Medical access timing needs clarity

Families mention limits in doctor availability once a schedule is known.

One reviewer describes a delay in getting a doctor visit after a loved one wasn’t feeling well, noting the doctor’s arrival days and that the wait ended up being longer than expected. Another reviewer says there is a nurse on-site most of the time and that a doctor visits weekly. Together, these comments suggest medical help may be consistent for urgent needs through nursing, while scheduled doctor availability can affect timing.
