Testimonials

"It is with pleasure and thanksgiving that I write this letter of endorsement of the staff and facility at Ashley Gardens in Mount Vernon. My mother was a resident there the past two years until her passing, and the staff not only gave her excellent care, they also loved her like an extended family."

"It was originally our plan to care for Mom in our home until her death. When I could no longer meet her needs here, it was very difficult for me to relinquish her care to others. She was a private, reserved person, so the private rooms that Ashley Gardens provided were a priority to us. Right from the beginning, they welcomed my almost-daily visits, often offering me a meal with Mom and making me feel a vital partner in her on-going care."

"Helen Fisher is an excellent administrator and advocate for her residents. She takes time to know them personally and to stay informed on the needs of each one. She not only has the respect of her caregivers, but has also uniquely equipped them to feel a pride and ownership in the facility that results in ther working hard to keep its standards high."

"In these past two years, I have grown to love these caregivers like family. They consistently go the extra mile for the residents — curling their hair, polishing their nails, wrapping them in a warm afghan fresh from the dryer when they are cold. The residents become their gradmas and grandpas, yet they add these personal touches without ever neglecting the proffesionalism that is also necessary. In the difficult weeks of our mother's passing, they not only loved our Mom well, but us as well. They were like our extended family, grieving with us over her loss."

"Our experience with Ashley Gardens is not unique. Because I was there so often, I got to know many other family members who shared my appreciation and thanksgiving for the staff. I will forever be grateful for the care and love provided us by Ashley Gardens.

With heartfelt appreciation,"
