Ashwood Meadows Gracious Retirement Living

I toured Ashwood Meadows Gracious Retirement Living. They were very friendly. The woman who was in charge there just took me on tour. We went around. I had several questions. One of the things wherever I move, I do want them to have a pool table. They've got a library. They've got a garden at the back. She showed me a nice two bedroom, which is what I'm looking for. She took me through the whole place. I had lunch with them. They had Asian food. It was the best beef and broccoli I have ever put in my mouth. I don't know what she did but the meat was fantastic. I was impressed with the way the building was laid out. It's nice. It has kind of an atrium through the center. They have pretty much anything you want even to cover parking if you want to pay for that. It's my opinion that they're all about the same price. It's also my opinion that they're a little expensive for a two-bedroom. Everybody spoke. I mean, everybody from the guy that was doing the paving outside to the maintenance. They've got a happy hour on Friday. They have a bar there that works for me.

I'm at Ashwood Meadows Gracious Retirement Living. I love living here. The people are friendly and helpful. Also, I enjoy the exercise here. I appreciate the bus taking me shopping and to my doctor's appointments. I love the activities director. She keeps us busy and active. My apartment is on the second floor. It's a very good location. It is close to the library and the dining room. The staff members are wonderful. They're very caring. They serve three meals a day. We have a bus for transportation. We have outside activities from the bus on Wednesday. With value for money, they're the lowest in the area that I found. Overall, I don't know if there's something I would suggest improving it because I think they're doing great.

At Ashwood Meadows Gracious Retirement Living, three meals are provided. I liked it. I was impressed. It was very clean and very friendly. I will live there when I'm older. The dining area looks like a cruise ship and you can bring your friends or family to the mealtime. They'll reserve you a seat and it's only $5 per person that's cooked by a chef. There was a library, they have a housekeeper once a week, physical therapists and barbers are coming in, and there was a shuttle bus there twice a week. It was very good. The staff was very friendly.

My brother is at Ashwood Meadows Gracious Retirement Living. It's a wonderful place. The staff is very gracious, and the community area is amazing. I love their dining room and I love that they have activities. I love that they have an area there that families can come in and prepare meals and if somebody wanted to come in and have a Sunday meal, they certainly could. There's an area that can be rented out for that. They also have guest quarters, so, a family that's coming and caregivers that's coming in from out of town can rent a room there and stay on-site with their family members. He's been there about four or five years now. It's a retirement community, but they have sister agencies that can continue the care. You can go from retirement community living to assisted living and then onto memory care and then to palliative care. The staff is wonderful. They're compassionate, they check on the residents, and they make themselves available at all times. They do weekly trips; they have a bus, and they go on different outings. He's able to go to church. He's also able to go out and do shopping and outings, and then they'll usually stop and get something to eat. There's a little small in-house theater in there, too, with a lot of seating and they play older movies that are geared towards the older community. The place is fantastic.

Not only is the atmosphere and food excellent there are always great activities to participate in such as various games, trips, and exercise classes. Not only is it good from a health standpoint but also to help keep your mental health in tact.
