"My mother and father lived at Ashton for more than a decade, while they were still very independent and until they each passed away 5 years apart. I'm a registered nurse and I feel Ashton is by far one of the very best communities to retire to. Clean, comfortable, warm and caring staff, skilled caregivers, superb leadership (they stayed safe through covid) and an extended family like my parents deserved. I highly recommend Ashton for anyone ready to stop doing everything on your own! Grow older happily, safely, and comfortably." - Deanna… Read more
