The Ashton on Dorsey

Lynn K

I toured several facilities before finding The Ashton. I thought because it was such a beautiful place it would be out of our price range. It was actually more affordable than most places close to my mom’s home. What sets The Ashton apart is really the staff and I mean all of the staff. They are happy, attentive, caring and engaging not only with my mom but with me and our family. Mom’s one bedroom apartment is perfect and she has everything she needs. More important than everything listed above is that my mom keeps telling us how happy she is there, and doesn’t even miss her home, which is shocking to all of us. She had lived in her home for 62 years and did not want to leave it, but the time came where she knew she needed a little less space, more community, and more available care. We are thrilled with how happy she is being at The Ashton.

Everything about it is perfect. It's immaculate. It's pretty. It's welcoming, clean, and fresh. My mom and I both can't say enough good things about it. The staff is amazing. They are more than I could have hoped for. Everybody knows mom by her name. They know her issues and her likes or dislikes. They are very personable and very engaging. There are tons of activities every day and they encourage her to attend multiple times a day. There's a lot of variety that keeps them interested and engaged. The food is very fresh. They have gourmet chefs on site all day, every day. The residents have meetings with the chefs to say what they like, what they don't like, and what they would like to see more of. The chefs come out and talk to them during meal time so the chef and dining room staff get to know them. They have live music every night. They have people come in and play the guitar or the piano. They have happy hour every evening where they can have alcohol if they want. They have arts and crafts and what they called "a walk down memory lane" where they play old music or look at old pictures. They have fitness instructors come in and lead seated workouts. They go on outings for treats, snacks, shopping, or to the botanical gardens. They bring llamas to the facility and have therapy dog visits weekly. They have just anything you can think of.

My father will be moving in. We chose it among others because it was nicer, had a better menu, everything was brand new, and I just felt comfortable there. Everybody has been very pleasant and awesome so far. The facility is first class and they've got unbelievable amenities. I've met three people including the salesguy and the nurse, and they are awesome.

We're using here for Mom. It's great and brand new, and the staff is very friendly. The accommodations are beautiful. We met with the chef, who seems very capable and competent. After visiting there once, everybody knew Mom's name. They have an exercise room, do physical therapy, and have lounges, bistro, restaurant, TV or movie room, some outside verandas, and a small garden. They gave us great appetizers.
