Food quality is another divide
Dining satisfaction varies widely across reviews.
Some reviewers say the food is good or decent, and one notes enjoying the meals. Others report food that’s inedible or portions that feel too small, including criticism related to diabetic-appropriate choices. Because the dining comments swing from positive to strongly negative, families may want to ask how meals are tailored to specific diets.

Pricing is questioned as expensive
A couple of reviews question the value of the cost.
At least a few reviewers feel the fees don’t match the level of service they experienced. One review cites a self-pay daily rate and another suggests the price isn’t reflective of the service quality.
