Have you also considered Freedom Pointe? It requires a large buy-in fee, and you pay for a lifetime care contract, but it is very nice. The lifetime care contract is what bothers me.
From the "been there/done that" perspective, if you have elderly parents who start out in assisted living, then their needs become more intensive, it's nice to know the progression of care is available.
