Ashton Senior Living

I liked the Ashton Senior Living. It's closer to me, and value wise, I'd say it's the best deal. They were approximately $1000 a month less to stay there than the other 2 places that we liked. The rates did not go up like they do at the other places, and they start to add on stuff. There's no add-ons at the Ashton. If you buy in at a certain price and your disease progresses or you decline, they don't nickel and dime you to death. The staff was very kind. The Ashton is what we are going to suggest to our sister-in-law that she go. We liked it very well because while it wasn't as fancy, it's a very nice and clean place. The staff seemed very caring, and it's closer to our home. We were very impressed with them. They have the beauty shop, and the movie room. They have a room that they use for church services. They have a building physician that comes in every couple of weeks and sees the residents, and keeps their prescription up to date, which is important. That means that they don't have to be moved out to a doctor; the doctor actually comes to them. They provide meals, and the meals seemed adequate. They said they get a lot of their food from the farmers' market, so they don't have a lot of additives and preservatives.

Ashton Senior living was my number one pick. It was very clean, the owners and operator all seemed very personable, nice, and seemed to really care for their patients. It wasn't too large, but it was very well-kept, very nice, and the price was manageable. There was nothing I didn't like.

My friend went to hospital dehydrated. The staff doesnt give fluids. We were told there would be a snack in afternoon. He never had one unless we gave it to him. There are no nurses there to check BP even in a crisis as my friend’s BP was very low. I kept taking it. We were told it was assisted living so no nurses. The aids and CMAs walk around with their shoes off. Not all but some. It is not hidden. New management is needed as Ashton could be a great place.

Ashton Senior Living - Gainesville was a big place. It has elevators in it, which is important to me because I am handicapped. It has multiple levels and a lot of people living there. I had an appointment at a specific time, but the manager who was supposed to meet me was not there. The two gals that were working at the front desk were very young, very confused, and were busy playing with their cellphones, chewing bubble gum, and twirling their hair. I was not impressed. When you first walk in the main entrance, there's a sitting room off to the left and a library off to the right. There was a woman in a wheelchair in the library knitting and somebody was walking through. The room I saw was nice. However, they don't tell you the price of anything until you actually go there and have the grand tour. It was just unprofessional.
