Gaslighting

Overall, my experience was good. I lived there for one year food got kind of boring after a while lots of changes and staff I think in the kitchen my biggest complaint is I moved to Ashbridge because of the indoor heated swimming pool over and over again I asked him to please heat it. They first would say it’s broken and yada yada yada nine months into it. I finally raised my voice and then they turned on the heater to 78°. And their brochure they advertise a heated indoor pool while you can’t swim in the heated pool. It’s only 78° and being a senior citizen not acceptable location and the pool were the reason I moved there.

Good place

The move in was smooth however there were a few items that should have been taken care of before move. Like kitchen cabinets weren't clean & a shelf was broken. Some of the door holders were not secured. The toilet needed a new wax ring & was broken, so I had to buy a new one. Housekeeping has not been great. I have a special diet & I can't eat the meals provided. Sometimes I haven't been able to reach the staff & I can't figure out the phone service & no one else seemed to know either. These are all small items. I'm happy here & I really love my space.

Review for Ashbridge Manor

Friendly staff that is accommodating. Unfortunately my mom needs more attention than they are able to provide so she will need to be moved again. In hindsight we might have chosen an option where the aide she needed could have progressed with her. She liked Ashbridge because the community was more independent which she believed she was also. She really wasn't.

Kitchen manager very Unprofessional

During my holiday visit to my mother, we shared dinner together. My mother informs me that this incident is ongoing, which prompted me to write this review. Unfortunately, the staff member named [name removed] exhibited unprofessional behavior. Her loud reprimands of her team within our hearing and her continued disparaging remarks while walking around the facility were both disturbing and unacceptable. It is essential for her to maintain a professional demeanor and receive training on effective staff management to prevent such incidents in the future.

Review for Ashbridge Manor

I've been here for about five weeks. All the staff know me by name and everybody who lives here is friendly. The food is OK. The gentleman who I spoke to on the phone who originally sent me in the direction of Ashbridge manor was very helpful and knew what he was doing and how to help me. I highly recommend the place for independent seniors. They also welcomed my dogs with open arms, which means a lot to me

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!!!

Nice community and great staff!

What we like the most about Ashbridge Manor is the convenient location to travel to, lots of shopping and restaurants, a lovely garden, pool if you want to swim. Nice place. Apartments are nice size and layout. Big bathrooms. Yes, we would recommend the community to other based on the experience.

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.
