Welcoming community

Overall experience has been great. For a situation that isn't easy, the staff at The Ashton has been wonderful. From figuring out the administrative and the logistics to all the staff members welcoming my dad and greeting him when they see him. He's not thrilled to be there (he really wanted to stay in his home) but he is settling in and the staff is a big part of that. Plus the food is outstanding. My dad is doing well because he is eating three great meals a day. Scott the activities director has so much planned

Warm and inviting

The staff, medical, kitchen, activities director, front desk, and facilities manager, work like a team and are incredibly adaptable to the residents' needs. Everyone is super warm and open and made my mom and I feel incredibly welcomed.

The physical building looks like a 4 star hotel. Ots on the plaza so we often took mom out for meals. It’s beautiful and my mom often thought she was on vacation (dementia). It was on the plaza so we took her out to eat a l

Very caring and professional

The rooms at the Ashton are spacious and bright but best of all everybody from the Magnolia Trail director (the Ashton's Memory Care section) to the nurses, aides, occupational therapists to the medical director are very caring, loving and professional. You can be sure your family member is well cared for.
