Despite offering amenities like a fitness center to support active living, feedback indicates dissatisfaction concerning the value and quality of the care provided. Key issues highlighted include high monthly HOA fees that have significantly increased to $2,000, which some residents feel are disproportionate to the services rendered, such as limited meal options and minimal housekeeping. Additionally, concerns persist about financial practices, such as ongoing fees charged to families even after a resident's passing and challenges in selling the units, often at much less than the purchase price. These factors contribute to a broader sense of dissatisfaction among residents and their families, particularly in relation to the perceived financial burden and insufficient care support.
