Recent resident and family reviews note concern about a decline in the quality of care following a change in ownership in March 2024. Previously operated under The Chelsea, the facility was generally perceived as maintaining a higher standard of care. Since the transition, multiple reviews point to a reduction in staff attentiveness and responsiveness, which has affected trust and satisfaction levels among families and residents. While some hope for improvements and are willing to update their feedback if conditions change, the predominant sentiment at present is disappointment, with calls for restoration of previous standards of staffing and care quality.
Costs at this community start at $4,980 and range up to $9,690. The average price in the community is $7,335, which is less than the average price in the area of $8,079. The cost of memory care in this area is essentially the same as the cost throughout the state. If the resident needs other services, additional services may increase the monthly cost.
