I have lived at Ashwood Square for almost seven years. I love that I do not have to cook or clean. Our managers, Bethany and Glen, have been great. Come and visit.

Our Aunt is happy with the Senior apartment living at Ashwood Square. She was not eating properly before moving in and she now has the opportunity for 3 nice meals a day on property. Amenities such as Salon, pharmacy for prescriptions, church services, fitness room with classes and various other holiday activities have been really nice.

WARNING!!! My mother who has moderate dementia and is currently in assisted living went here without the knowledge of family or her POA and they let her sign a lease!! (She can’t even write). When we the family notified them of her diagnosis and that her neurologist said she can never live on her own we were told that “they” think she is fine. They just want her money and got it. They won’t communicate with the family or listen to us. We were even willing to provide Dr records and they said the lease was already signed. To add even another layer when my mother signed her lease her credit card was declined (as it should have because we have it limited for a reason) they let someone assist her in getting the limit increased so they could process payment ! Beware this company is just about the almighty dollar!<br><br>I tried to call the numbers that were on the response to this review but of course no one knew what I was talking about or who I should speak with. Was told someone would call me and….NO that never happened.<br><br>I want to also add the family sent an email to the facility about all of this and was ignored. The family will hold them completely responsible should anything happen as we have made more than enough efforts to let them know under no circumstances should our mother be allowed to lease or live alone. Not only has she been in assisted living but we have been notified she is close to needing memory care!<br><br>This is crazy that this company would continue to let her move in knowing all they know. Proof this is all about the $$$$.
