Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods was lovely. It was very nice, very clean and pleasant. The staff was friendly. It's a new building and it's clean and nicely decorated. It's a very pleasant environment.

My mother has been at Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods for a little over a week now and it's been going pretty well. We've been very pleased, she's had a really good week. The staff is very, very hands-on with her care. Even some of the administrators are down there helping out and feeding the people. We've just been very pleased with everything we've seen so far and she's adjusted very well to it. She is there for memory care and I would say the security is very high. It's behind locked doors and when you get there, someone walks back with you and lets you in, and then someone will walk to the door and let you out. They make sure the residents stay safe there, and the way it's designed, you're never too far away from help. They have different kitchen areas throughout the memory care so that you're always eating in small groups and you're always really close to where you need to be. I think they do a really good job on that. They're still kind of getting into the activities and kind of figuring that out but they have activities every day, we've been to a couple, and they've been good. It's a very new building and everything is just immaculate and beautiful. It's less expensive than many of the other options we looked at, but we're very pleased with what we're getting for it.

I went to Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods. The area itself is tucked back a little ways from the major thoroughfare, so there's not a whole lot of traffic there, which is very nice. The building itself was fairly new. The areas were nice, open, and bright. We saw the food menu. It's not as varied as the others, but it's still very nice. We talked to a couple of staff members and they were very polite. We saw several residents as well, and they seemed to be very happy. They would wave when my mom would wave, and they would say hello, so that was pleasant. We only saw a studio setting. I think they have other apartments there, but the studio was a lot smaller than I would expect. There's not much to it, not very many frills, but each has a bedroom, a little sitting area, and your standard bathroom, and a little kitchenette. My mom liked it, but personally, after seeing other really nice apartments, that's a bit shocking. All the open areas where residents can mingle and socialize were clean, bright, and very open, which I really, really like. Everybody's been very pleasant.

Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods was a beautiful facility. Everybody was nice. We were not there long because it was not a place for my uncle. It just wasn't the facility that could handle him. They just didn't have what it takes to care for him. They could care for him OK, but he needed extra care and they couldn't provide that. But it's a very beautiful facility, and I would recommend it for anybody else, but just not for him. The room was beautiful. It had enough room for himself. He had a one-bedroom apartment. It was very nice and well-kept. It's a very, very nice facility, and it's in a nice location. Everybody was very attentive, very nice, and very knowledgeable. They know their job. I can't say anything against them. It was assisted with personal care. I know they have an exercise room, a library, and a chapel. The whole facility was beautiful. However, he wasn't there long enough to do activities. The food was very good. They were one of the cheaper places that we looked at in the area.

When I visited Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods, the lady that did the tour was very nice. We just couldn't have asked for better people. It was very nice and very clean, and the people were very friendly. So that was it, everything's fine. The staff, she kind of managed the place; I think she was very good. She's just very nice, they would give me the answers to everything I asked. They were ready with an answer and were very efficient. It's very clean and neat, and well maintained. It's fairly new, so they certainly did not have any rundown appearance at all. They were very, very upscale. It was so nice, clean, and had a friendly feeling; there was nothing amiss. They had a nurse on duty, and they had little tables everywhere, where people could gather and be friendly with each other; that was important.

My mother moved into Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods. It's absolutely wonderful. It's exactly what my mother needs. She's well cared for. Lots of daily activities to keep the elders entertained, and she's gained weight since she's been in there. Overall, I see a huge improvement. I couldn't be happier. They have bingo, cornhole, crocheting, they have Bananagrams, and they have balloon volleyball. They just have an endless list of activities for the elders to enjoy. They have Whirlpool, on-site laundry facilities. She has her own apartment, which is handicap accessible. It's a perfect size for her. It doesn't have a stove, they have the kitchen cabinets you need, a full-size refrigerator, and a full-size sink. They have a walk-in shower with a chair where she can go in and just sit right down. I think you just need to give it a chance, tour the facility. I toured it alone, and then I took my mother back because I wanted her to make sure that was a place that she wanted to be, and I didn't choose that location. She gave me the "Yes, go ahead. I'm ready to move in."

I visited Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods. It was absolutely beautiful and would have been a wonderful place to stay. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I wouldn't have wanted to have to get dressed and go downstairs three times a day to get meals, for me that's a little bit much. It was very nice, and the little girl that helped us was very, very nice. You couldn't have complained about anything. The facility was very nice. I would have loved it if I hadn't had to go downstairs to eat three times a day. I just love the rooms. I always wanted to live in New York, on one of those streets that had trees on it, and it reminded me of New York and living in an apartment like that. So, I really was crazy about it. I would have liked it, but I got home, and I got to think about that going downstairs three times a day, and I couldn't do that. I liked the library, and I liked the art class, I thought it was just a great place to live. The dining area was beautiful. They were having lunch when we were there, but we just went ahead, then we saw the room and we looked at everything; but the dining room, it was perfect. The staff was all very nice. They were very helpful about questions, or anything that we wanted or thought we might want to do; it was just great. I had my daughter with me, and she enjoyed looking at it so much, and I couldn't get her away from there in time to go to another one. So, we only got to see that one, and then it was perfect. It was lovely.
