Kindley Assisted Living at Asbury Methodist Village

My mom, 92, moved from her home to Kindley Assisted living at Asbury Methodist Village, in early February, 2020. My mom is doing remarkably well, and sincerely very happy in her apartment. Now that Im back home in Boston, Im actually missing visiting with her because her apartment feels so familiar - like home. My sister has been making sure that she and my mom attend activities all over campus. They go to the Tuesday-Friday movies at the Rosborough, to the Bargain Mart, the Williamsburg Clothes Closet, to lectures, and to live music events. A friend at Kindley often joins them, or mom and new friends go together. Theyve been sampling the food at different Asbury locations. Im coming back for a visit, and hopefully Ill get my chance to try the Blue Note! I say its remarkable because its such a big change, and she seems to be embracing it. My mom has been a trooper throughout, but the kindness shown to her, and to our family has helped throughout the process. From the admissions director, to the floor nurse, to the individual caretakers, the reception has been welcoming, and the dedication to the responsibilities of caretaking sincere. My mom is safe, and enjoying her new home a comfort to us as her family.

My mother had a terrible experience there. She went for rehab after having a knee replacement. Before she went to sleep, she asked the orderly for her prescribed pain pill. My mother is very sharp mentally. The orderly told her that he had already given her the pain pill. She said no you have not. Then he became angry and insisted that he had given it to her. His attitude frightened her. So, she layed there in pain all night. My suspicion is that he probably took it and sold it since it was a very strong pain pill. I would never take her back to Asbury!

Kindley truly embraces the individual and values each person for all they have accomplished and all they will accomplish. We are one family here and appreciate each and every day we have to spend together!! I am honored to be a part of this amazing organization.
