Nursing Home Communities in Ashland, WI

"Living 2 hours away from my 86 year old mother, I had to make a visit to Ashland and make that decision no daughter ever wants to make, and that was to place mom in a nursing home. The other facility in Ashland was rather old and run down, and when I visited the staff left me walk around the halls and nobody even stopped to see why I was there or if I needed help. The Ashland Health facility smelled badly of urine and I knew instantly it was not a place I wanted my loving mother. I then visited the Court facility in Ashland. It was on a weekend, staff looked busy but a nurse stopped immediately and walked me through the facility. Much more modern and taken care of than the Ashland Health facility. It smelled clean, and the patients looked happy. Such a beautiful and spacious facility. I was told they were part of a corporation that owned both of the Ashland facilities, but the Court Manor facility in my opinion would be the place to be. Although I didn’t end up having my mom admit as I chose to move her closer to me, this facility without a doubt would have been the place. Mom would have absolutely loved the outdoor area I was shown that is apparently a garden in the summer. Thank you to the kind staff that stopped everything they were doing to show me around and answer my questions. Mom misses Ashland and I may have to make a decision to have her return to the area despite the distance between us. If that happens the Court facility in Ashland will be getting a call immediately from me. That may be happening soon as I’m doing my research again now just in case in Ashland, Wisconsin. "
