Cost is a trade-off for some
Pricing is not a fit for everyone.
Some reviews describe the cost as a financial problem, even after considering options like shared space. Others frame the pricing as lower than some places the family looked at, suggesting it may depend on the individual situation and room type.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Concerns about medication errors
A small number of reviews raise medication-safety concerns.
Two reviews report medication errors and describe serious outcomes they attribute to inadequate nursing attention. Both comments focus on medication handling and follow-up, including a lack of timely response after concerns were raised.
