Tours emphasize responsiveness
At least one review reflects a breakdown in meeting higher care needs after admission.
One reviewer describes being asked to move a loved one after a period of time because more physical care was needed than the community was willing to provide. They also report frustration with communication and support during the transition. Since most other reviews emphasize attentive caregiving and responsiveness, this is a clear exception families should consider when evaluating fit for changing care needs.
