Hugh Ash Manor

Fred

I've been to Hugh Ash Manor to visit a friend. It looks pretty nice. It's got a pretty wide age range there. Some residents are a little younger than me and some a little older. They have activities that the residents do. They don't have a pool themselves, but they have access to the YMCA pool there. I believe they offer meals. I know my friend cooks a lot on his own. They not only have their own transport with Hugh Ash Manor, but their transport is easily available through the city/county buses. I've seen my friend and his mother's room. His is on the seventh floor, and his mother's room was down on the fourth floor. I've seen both, and they're pretty nice. Their price also includes all the amenities like the cable. There's an antenna TV set up that you can use also. If I'm not mistaken, they pay for the electricity, water, and all that. They give you the antenna TV. For the cable, you have to pay for yourself. I think his mother is getting it for like $10 a month in some kind of program there and that's pretty good. They have an area where they can do arts and crafts and such. They've got a library of some sort, and they've got a pool table and game tables. From what I've heard from my friend, the maintenance is pretty good. The outside looks great. I used to be in the landscaping industry, so I look at that pretty close. It's well kept on the outside of the inside. Every time I've been in there, it has been nice and clean as far as keeping the walkways and all that clean. I used the bathroom once there (for guests and such), and it was kept clean. They also provide a help button for the residents in the bathroom. Out in the room itself, they have a couple of buttons for when you have an emergency. You just push the button, and they're right there.
