Ashby Ponds

4 STARS CURB APPEAL, 2 STARS FOOD. I've challenged management to "prepare a healthy eating plan for a week of dinners at any Ashby Ponds restaurant." I've lived at Ashby Ponds for 5 years, and have been fighting for healthier food for the past 4 years. Ashby Ponds doesn't meet it's own criteria — go to http://mynutrition.erickson.com/NetNutrition/APL# pick a restaurant and select "Healthy Choice". Most of the time you'll get few options. Besides their meals criteria while claiming they are based on “2015 USDA Dietary Guidelines and American Heart Association” ARE NOT, THEY DON'T INCLUDE SUGAR arguably the biggest contributor to disease and death.

My grandparents lived at Ashby ponds for several years. My grandpa passed away in 2017. My grandma passed away in 2019. She was in the Maple Grove building during her last few days which is essentially a hospice and rehab building. My grandma moved there for the rehab center after a stay in the hospital. During the middle of the night her first night there she suffered what they think was a stroke and was heavily sedated for that. We knew there wasn't a chance of her getting better so our goal was for her to be comfortable. She was never left in that room alone and thank god she wasn't because the nurses who work there should have never received their license let alone been hired. My grandma had a lot of fluid around her heart so she had to be elevated constantly or she would drown in the fluid. The nurse had to lay her down to give her medicine which you would think she would have done quickly due to the excess fluid. We could tell my grandma was starting to drown and kept telling the nurse to hurry and she didn't speed up at all nor did she seem concerned in the slightest. If my family and I hadn't been there to push the nurse out of the way and raise the bed that nurse would have killed my grandma right then and there. This shouldn't be acceptable by any means at all. Not every resident is lucky enough to have family with them 24/7 I would be concerned for every residents safety at the Maple Grove building. My grandma wouldn't have survived her situation much longer but I wouldn't be surprised if other residents became sicker or worse due to the care they received by nurses who are supposed to help you.

My mom felt a bit whoozy leaving the medical clinic , so they asked if she wanted a wheelchair. She said yes until she was told they would CHARGE her. I am disgusted and appalled by this. What if she fell and hit her head when walking back to her room. She paid a fortune for a down payment now has a handsome monthly bill. And they can't give her a wheelchair at no cost !!! My mom is a person not a product. And I just called to tell them they misspelled the word friend in the experience part of this review and she said she could transfer me to tell someone. Unbelievable !!! Ashby ponds is not a place for those who care about personal touches . It's all about money.
