Key Review Excerpts
“The way the programs and activities are structured and the way the building is configured encourage free flow and interaction between quite differently situated residents: those in independent living, those in assisted living, and those in memory care.”
“Elder Ashram was okay until my aunt passed away and all of her belongings including her wedding ring disappeared. When we inquired after two months where all of her belongings were, we were made to feel like it was our responsibility to gather her things.”
“Evan Johnson is the fantastic super attentive activities director. He gives each and every person much loving personal communication.”
