Website price differs from verified starting rate
The facility website lists starting at $5,200/month; the rate on file here is ~$4,435. Confirm current pricing directly — both figures may reflect different care levels or room types.
Care type mix spans four levels
The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays under one roof. Ask how memory care is physically separated from other neighborhoods.
Short-term stays available — ask about capacity impact
The community actively markets short-term and respite stays. Worth asking how often those units are occupied and whether they affect staffing ratios.
