In late 2025 we found the need for a rehabilitation center for my father after a short stay in the hospital. They sent a representative to the hospital to meet my father ahead of a decision being made as to where he was going next, I affectionately refer to her as “Sparkles”. She was fantastic. From that point, our experience was wonderful. The nursing staff and rehabilitation staff were attentive and caring. The facility has done a facelift on certain aspects of the property, certain areas are yet to be updated. The aspect that really shines the most at Aster Creek, are its people.

I am impressed with the complete overhaul of Aster Creek (formerly Wardell Gardens). While the physical overhaul is very nice, I am most pleased with the care they are providing to my loved one in particular. The staff shows genuine care and concern for its residents. This is comforting to know especially when you are unable to personally care for them yourself. Congratulations Aster Creek Administrators and staff on receiving a 5 Star rating! 👏👏
