Horrible place to work

Would never recommend to work at this place to anyone. [name removed] is unprofessional and cruel. Screams in your face and degrades you in front of anyone and everyone. Good way to help someone learn the job. If you are looking for your teen to start their first job this is not the place to go!!!

They are responsive and work with residents to get them care they need. She liked location, near her friends. Price couldn't be beat. Population seemed more active.

Just what we needed

Ashbridge Manor was a great option for a senior who doesn’t have the kind of capital needed to buy in to typical retirement homes. Residents and employees seem pleasant and engaging and were very welcoming.

Ashbridge Manor Review

I gave a -3 overall because the communication and consistency of staff would both be -2. There is a lot of staff turnover and poor communication (along with very inconsistent quality of food) have been disappointing- but my sense is that there are no other options for a place like this in this price range. Positively the access to therapists and medical care has been really wonderful. More active help in that area than expected. Activities also seem good - though on pause at the moment from Covid.

I'm Enjoying My Time In This Time of My Life

The meals and dining have gone done hill since I moved in to the community. There is a new chef starting next week. There are two meals a day served to the residents. The staff are fairly friendly. The cleaning is sometimes utilized by the staff in the community. There is music that encompasses all types of music, trips, and more for the residents to chose from to participate in for activities.

They really go the extra mile to keep the residents safe and happy

The staff there is really working so hard to make it a good experience for all the residents. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to other families.

Ashbridge is a nice place, u must pay for cable + phone. Available units were small + cost more than I thought. Otherwise there are few expenses. Laundry not in units.

A good place for dad

We chose Ashbridge Manor because of the location as well as there were more men in the facility so he would be able to interact more. A lot of other places we saw were more women. The apartment sizes here are great, the ground floor on one side has patios and they cost a little bit more. There have been restrictions due to covid so we are excited for things to open back up. I would highly recommend them.

The community is a great value and I feel this community is the best independent living option in the area. They really were accommodating during covid and went the extra mile. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

A Great Place to Live

I find the community is very friendly. The community has been on lock down and I feel it has kept us safe. This has allowed us to have no cases of COVID. The activities prior to COVID they had: Music, games, pinochle. They even have delivered food for those that have that program. I've made great friends. I'm able to bake goodies and give them away to other residents and they enjoy them.

Not a Happy One

Everything has been shut down, and I am not happy here. There did do bingo, but they have to have everyone spaced out with one person per table max. I am not happy here due to no activities and everything being on lock down. It is not what I was expecting at all. It was not with the brochure was made up, and we were supposed to have someone clean our apartment every week. I am still waiting for someone to come in to clean my apartment, and it has been four weeks. Their excuse is they don't have the help and it is due to the virus. I believe we should receive a rate reduction.

Nice Place for the Cost

Ashbridge Manor is a very friendly place. I feel it is a very good value. My mom has not been overly pleased about food now that it is being delivered to the room, it is much different then when they were serving in the dining room. It is hard to judge things while they are under quarantine.

Very clean, nice, warm & friendly environment however felt it was a glorified apartment complex. Had some nice amenities, however the people engagement, which is VERY important to us, we questioned. There is no buddy/ambassador programs in place which we feel is necessary to get and keep residents engaged. No balconies would be a push back from my mother. Overall, however, the facility and staff were very nice and will keep on the list.
