Several reviews describe base pricing as too high, with additional fees or charges that families felt were excessive or not clearly explained. Some say costs increased over time or that certain items were billed without being delivered. The pricing information for studio and semi-private options also places costs well above county and state benchmarks, which aligns with the recurring value-for-money complaints.
