Ashbridge Manor

Reviewer RC#0224

My mom has been with Ashbridge Manor since December, and she's not able to enjoy any amenities there yet. She's been in her unit for quarantine, which is very sad, but we talked to her a lot. I'm out of state, but my sister handles all of it for her, and my sister seems to like it. Fortunately, it's kind of a trial basis for my mom. It's month to month, so she's not obligated to stay if she doesn't like it. We also don't know what's going to happen with her health. She has dementia and if it's going to advance, she may have to go somewhere else because they don't have memory care. However, I think the facility is clean, and there are a lot of activities going on. She joined twice with other people but since then, she's just all by herself. She's ninety-two and has dementia, so it's not a good situation for her to be locked in like that, but she has a little dog with her. I've also lived in that area for many years, so it's a good spot. She wanted to be in an area that was familiar to her, and with dementia, she needs to be in surroundings that are near to where she lived. The facility is clean and new. They are safe and trying to keep the residents well. I just spoke to one of the residents who has been there for a year, and she said when it's not on lockdown, she was pleased. I'm just waiting for her to get out of quarantine for COVID, and for people to be able to start being together and doing activities. They offer a lot of them, so it will be good for my mom.

I toured the Ashbridge Manor. It was very nice, but it was just out of our price range. I was there in person. I toured an apartment that had a washer, dryer, and a seat in the shower. It was basically a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. No pools or something like that. They're very nice. I saw a couple of residents, but I did not interact with them at all. They do temperature checks. We went into a conference room, just the lady and I, and it was just her and I that went into the apartment, that's all.

Ashbridge Manor wouldn't be a good place for mom because she's not independent anymore, but it's very elegant. The apartment was very spacious, very clean, and very nice. The staff during the tour was very professional and very good. The food looked and smelled good. They have an indoor pool, exercise rooms, regular outings to stores, and a lot of activities for the residents.

Our experience with Ashbridge Manor has been very good. It's a rent per month. Each individual has their own apartment, and the staff cleans it once a week. Also included in my aunt's rent is breakfast and dinner. The resident needs to be ambulatory there. There are four floors, and you go up and down on an elevator. The main floor has a pool, a dining area, an activity center, and a large movie room. Most of the rooms are single bedrooms, which have very spacious closet area, a living room, a snack area, and a bathroom. If a person needs some assistance with taking medicine, they have a listed practitioner nurse on-site. They also have an occupational therapist, doctors, a dentist, a cardiologist, and a podiatrist come once a week. The dining area is very nice and has a restaurant feel to it. They have very large circular tables, so residents have assigned seats. If you don't come down, somebody will ring your room to remind you or check on you. The staff is very nice and they really try to work with you. They have a large laundry room, which is very clean. The whole facility is very nice.

I moved into Ashbridge Manor and I really like it. It’s excellent. The staff and service is really good and the food is wonderful. The dining area looks like a normal dining area that has a lot of tables, and it’s clean and homey. I like that I don’t have to cook dinner at night. I have breakfast in my room, but that’s by choice. There’s a dentist that’s coming next month which really helps me out, because I haven’t seen the dentist in years. In terms of the transportation, all I have to do is go to the front desk and tell them I have a doctor’s appointment at such day at such time and the transportation is provided. They have outings, like last week we went to Shady Maple’s. The cost is absolutely worth it.

My mom is staying at Ashbridge Manor. It's an old hotel and they renovated it. It's a little bit institutional but it's functionally nice. The staff and services are very lovely and my mom really enjoys living there. The people are very nice, helpful and accommodating. They have a lot of activities like movies, cocktail hours, meals, outings where they take a bus to another place, church service every Sunday and entertainment. They have a lot of caregivers and people who can do physical therapy. My mom says the food is pretty good. I also think it's a good value since my mom only pays $2400 a month to live there including her meals.
