Terri Might
My loved one has been a resident for almost 4 years and loves his room, staff, and activities. He had some recent health issues that required a few weeks of care outside the facility. He worked so hard to be able to come back- he loves it that much! When he walked back into The Ashford, staff and residents welcomed him. The nursing leadership and nursing staff were so efficient in handling instructions and orders during recovery. Staff from activities, maintenance, dining room, patient care, and front desk welcomed him home. So grateful for the care he receives.
