Asbury Gardens

My mother was a known fall risk when she was admitted. She fell within 15 hours, breaking a major bone. I am posting this to advise anyone considering this facility.

To be honest this facility doesnt even deserve a 1 star rating. This location is the worse I wouldnt even wish my worse enemy to be sent there. Witnessed many residents be physically and verbally abused, the nurse Joe has been seen forcefully giving patients their medication. Aids have also been heard screaming and probably physically abusing the patients behind doors. There are only about a handful of aids that work good but as long as the bad aids and the nurse Joe are there, that facility wont be safe for any patient. (Nurse Joe is brother with the Assistant Director of Nursing so he probably will never be terminated or be held accountable of his actions)

Ashley Peterson who is the main social worker there does a outstand job, she is always willing to help and always returns your call or email in a timely manner. Thanks Ashley

My Mom is suffering with Dementia. She now needs more assistance. She didn't want to move in with any of her children. She wanted to be as independent as possible. I then began the difficult task of looking for facilities. This was something I dreaded because of the horror stories you hear about nursing home and assisted living facilities. I google facilities in my area and started calling for appointments. I called a couple of facilities and made my appointments to come out to take a look. Let me just say that I am GLAD that Asbury Gardens was my first appointment. When I entered Asbury Gardens I knew this was the right facility for my Mom. Let me explain. Asbury Gardens is EXQUISITE. You have to see it in person for yourself the pictures are not enough. I met with the Assistant Director Nathan. He was very caring and took his time and answered all of my questions which put me at ease. I told him then where do I sign because I am 100% sure this is the right place for my Mom. He then took me on a tour of the facility. Again simply BEAUTIFUL. ALL of the staff were very Kind, Nice and Friendly, as well as the residents. Again I knew this was the right place when I witnessed the interaction of the staff with the residents and the residents with each other. The rooms are very nice. They have fine dining and they offer a wide range of activities and outings daily for the Asbury Gardens residents. After the tour Nathan suggested that I bring my mother back and that he would arrange lunch for us so she could experience Asbury and she if it would be a good fit for her. (I think everyone reading this knows how I feel), but it is my Mom's decision. I came back with my mother. We had a Great lunch. She loved Asbury. That was back in 2017. It is now April 2019 and my mother is still living at Asbury. Asbury has Everything you need for your Loved one. I have experienced this personally. Asbury Gardens offers Supportive Living Facility, Skilled Nursing Facility and a Memory Care Unit. My mother moved into their Supportive Living Facility. She fell in April 2019 (last week) and after her stay in the hospital, she is now currently recuperating in Asbury's Skilled Nursing Unit. She is getting the BEST care there. The staff is very attentive to all of her needs. They are very nice and are taking excellent care of her. She is getting the best therapy and she loves it there. After my mother has finished her therapy, at Asbury, I am moving her to their Memory Care Unit. Please believe me when I tell you that Asbury Gardens is the BEST its true. They offer and have EVERYTHING for your Loved one. Let me say that Asbury's maintenance staff director Nate as well as staff member Don helped me with my mother's move. I mean where can you get such EXCELLENT treatment. I hope I have answered any questions you might have concerning Asbury Gardens. I am typing from my heart. I LOVE that I found a place where my mother is able to receive the care she deserves while dealing with her Dementia. Asbury Gardens has and is a God send for our mom and the entire family. I am typing this from my heart with LOVE. I hope this helps you in decision. There is no other place like Asbury Gardens, just look at everything they have to offer, (my mother is a true testament to everything they have to offer) she has and is still receiving the benefits. God Bless.Sincerely with love,The family of Nadine T.submitted by Nadine's daughterVictoria
