Nice building, but pricing is outrageous. I originally had a love one move into Memory Care in May 2023 at a contracted monthly unit rate of $9,300/month. But then, every 6 months, the price increased based on their “service care levels” which are NOT included in monthly unit rate. By April 2023, the cost had increased to $16,100/month! That’s over $193k per year!! Anyone thinking of moving a loved one into their Memory Care units needs to be aware of these “service care level” costs that they’ll start charging.
