    Beautiful place but risky contract

    I love the beautiful community, exceptional/helpful staff, great food, and the huge range of activities - I'm excited to move in and have already met terrific neighbors. That said, the pricing and contract are a major red flag: large upfront entrance fee (complex 20/80-style terms, big non-refundable portion), slow/opaque refunds, annual fee increases, mandatory meal credits, and unclear/unguaranteed continuum of care (on-site doctor and assisted living not contractually assured for years). I also encountered poor responsiveness, insensitive/misaddressed communications, and administrative glitches. If you're mostly independent and can afford the risk, it's a lovely place; get a lawyer to review the contract, demand clear refund timelines, and consider joining the resident committee before committing.
