I loved Ashley River Plantation as well. Karen was wonderful; she answered all my questions over and above what I expected. The facility was beautiful and I was very impressed. We just made a choice to have Mom closer in proximity to where we will live. We most likely would have chosen Ashley River had it been closer to where we are moving. I highly recommend Ashley River Plantation.
This is a strong possibility.
It is fine, the people are nice. They are doing what they are supposed to. My mother and father both live there, and they are in memory care together. They have a very large room. From my experiences looking at other facilities, it is very difficult to find places that accommodate a husband and wife. They have two full beds and a dresser and a love seat. Right outside their room is the dining room. I have been very pleased with the general care that they have gotten.They get good basic care, and the staff is very respectful ... read more
I liked it but I didn't like the area of town it was in. It was in a neighborhood that I really didn't care for and I hate to be that way. It was probably the least favorite of the four that I visited because of the neighborhood, if they had picked it up and moved it it may have been a contender.
We chose Ashley River Plantation because we just felt it was the best fit for our loved one. Most of the staff is really outgoing and friendly but there is a few that really just aren’t as outgoing. The management is really outgoing and friendly. The therapy is excellent and most of the care managers are really good and you can just tell they have a passion for what they do, although there is a couple that just seemed like they are overwhelmed and seems like this type of jobs isn’t for them. Our loved one usually does not pa... read more
this is a very nice place,well kept,the residents all seem happy,the food eas very good.think my mom might be happy here.
Turnover of quality of staff at the oaks is an ongoing challenge, especially for the oaks at Charleston. However, these roles (the general staff) are demanding. Not sure I could do it. I am no nurse But the social interaction is really important. The physical and occupational therapy, access to physicians, etc... was a plus. Adhering to a schedule (meals, etc.) is important. Both locations provide those elements.
Some of these I can't answer accurately such as the friendliness of staff. There is a small handful of aids who are the sweetest most caring people you will ever meet but there are some who are plain nasty and border on abusiveness. Quality of care is poor unless you happen to have one of the good aids. We gave the activities a 3, but the activities director is FABULOUS.
I would tell a friend to keep looking. We picked this community, because of the price, and everything looked great. I am happy with the service that I received from the Rep at A Place for Mom. Other than that, they need to improve on a few things, as it relates to medication mangement, and their payment processes.
