Aston Park Health Care Center

I went to Aston Park Health Care Center because they offer a respite care program, but they won't accept me, because I have a power chair. However, the lady there took me on a tour, discussed some of my needs, and gave me some good advice. Because I was not cognitively impaired or so physically impaired that I needed the medical care that they provide (they're also a rehabilitation center), she didn't recommend it for me. She thought that I would get easily bored and frustrated because there wouldn't be very much interaction with other people living there and they don't do many activities. They don't have a library, they don't have an activity room. Most of the people living there have disabilities that make it impossible for them to do that. They have both single and double bedrooms, but they look more like hospital rooms. It's a beautiful and well-kept place.

Aston Park Health Care Center came highly recommended. It's largely a skilled nursing facility, but they have assisted living with memory care rooms. It was very nice, but the assisted living/memory care unit was not a good match for my mother because they were required to be mobile or able to walk. If they are wheelchair bound, they have to move to skilled nursing. The dining area was casual. The atmosphere was somewhat confining and enclosed.

I recently experienced a short stay after hip replacement. I was very surprised this was so unlike nursing facilities I had heard about. It was extremely clean and was kept so on an hourly basis. The care Dr. Patel and his staff gave me was excellent. The kitchen made sure I had the foods I liked and everyone from the Administrator on down was very caring. Can't say enough good things about this facility.

aston park seems to only care about how impressive their place is and not about the patients. people are left sitting in their wheelchairs most of the day. When they complain nobody pays attention. Some people really smell from using the bathroom in their clothes and having to sit in it for a long time. The CNA's are not well trained. They show them one time what to do and leave them on their own. My family member has been dropped several times because the staff doesn't pay attention or they are not trained properly. Some of them stand around and joke and laugh and don't pay any attention when a patient complains or needs help. The food is really bad. They can't seem to find the right help in the kitchens. They also give food they're not supposed to to the residents. I have seen them not feed a patient, just send them back to the room without food. Especially if the person is not able to talk or tell them anything. The place looks great but after 2 years of being there., I see that a lot needs to be fixed. Not much activity for those residents. And the management is hardly ever around. the staff are trained not to be friendly with each other and not the residence or family members. There's a lot of people there that are related and a lot of them don't speak English. Especially when they are around family members and residence. I find this very rude. I will never put any of my loved ones in there again. I'm glad I moved mine!

Ashton Park seemed very nice. They gave us a tour and showed us their dementia ward, and they seemed very progressive. I think they were very impressive, actually. I did see the dementia ward and it was very nice and big, the rooms were big, and they had nice day room areas for the patients as well as outdoor areas that the patients could access easily. As far as I could see, it looked nice. The people we encountered were very, very nice and helpful, and eager to show us the facility, but that is as far as I know.

My husband was a resident at this facility in the short-term Rehab 2 different times. We found the staff very caring and attentive. The food was exceptinal for institutional dining. The patients were allowed to make their choice at each meal and then was served their food hot in the dining room. The facility was exceptionally clean and did not have that institutional odor. Management was actually visible out on the hall on a daily basis and I found them exceptionally easy to approach and helpful when I needed something. Sometimes, it is very difficult to make the decision to put your loved one in an instituation, but I would highly recommend Aston Park if you need this service.
