Key Review Excerpts

The administrator, PT staff, nurse, doctor, CNA, and social workers I had the pleasure of meeting were very impressive. Her room had a big window with sun pouring in, she enjoyed the food, and everything was shiny, clean and nice smelling.

Rehab patient's family · 2023★★★★★

No words can adequately express my thanks to the Aston Park staff in the memory care unit who cared for my husband. Not only did they provide professional care, but also care that was respectful, patient, and loving.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

I could hear a lady who brings food and helps with baths there yelling at a resident who can't really walk. She would also either ignore my grandfather or be just be rude telling him if he's hungry go get it himself.
