Ashwood Meadows Gracious Retirement Living

I have been a resident for almost 4 years and find numerous reasons for choosing Ashwood Meadows. Call to schedule a tour and delicious meal.

It is a retirement apartment complex, not a facility for the elderly, and as such, they have fewer state regulations, I am told. That's fine for older people who are still young enough to enjoy living in the Johns Creek area. This would not be a good place for someone with Sundowners Syndrome, for example, or someone who needs a lot of assistance. It's close to the hospital and shopping, and you can walk to sandwich shops. The place is pretty and there are some pretty, spacious and sunny apartments downstairs that seem much newer. There are also some horribly old looking apartments upstairs with only a small heat pump in the living area and no form of heat or A/C in the bedroom. The bathroom just has one of those 'french fry' infrared lights to warm it. My mom has lived in both apartments, enduring the tiny, cold one for two years before a pleasant downstairs one opened up. In wintertime, they keep the thermostat at 68 in the common areas. Meals are served in courses, and take two hours each. My mom says the people are hungry and get snappy with each other while waiting for the next course. She said it is a training facility, so managers and employees come and go frequently, and rules change frequently. Snacks and some activities have been removed, and the radius of bus trips has been made smaller. There is a problem with the fire alarm erroneously going off frequently. It has been doing this for three years. Although it cost a lot to move in, including a $1,000 pet fee, the constant fire alarm problems drove my mom, who is a heart patient, to find someplace more peaceful.

This is a beautiful facility, well kept by wonderful, caring people. My friend loves living here.

First off, I want to say that this Senior home is the worst place ever, all I see for the past 10 months is that people do not serve us right or respect us, they just do it quickly, the food taste bad, also the manger say hired the worst people in the job, and most of all, the manger is the worst at managing, and keeping us elder happy, so people that just came to this review, do not trust this senior home, it's not to be trusted, not only that, but anyone that reads this, they waste food, and they don't even give the food to us, and the chief doesn't wash his hands, Do not come here if you do not want that, it's truly a 0 star, how sad the mangers could be, when all they think about is about themselves, not your elders.
