My mother was a resident at Prema at Ashton Hills (previously The Oaks at Ashton Hills) for a year…read moreand a half. She passed away last month and upon reflection of our time there, I have to say this community is wonderful and I love and respect the people who run this facility. We moved my mom from another assisted living place that we were not fond of. Lindsey (activities director) is phenomenal! She plans interesting activities inside the complex as well as taking residents out into the community as well. My mom has gone to get manicures and pedicures, lunches, plays, local stores, and just going on "joy rides" to see Christmas lights. My mom LOVED Lindsey. As time went on and my mom didn't want to take her medicine, Lindsey would come to the rescue and always got my mom to take it if I wasn't around. She is super creative in facilitating different activities within the complex too. Heather, the nurse has been great as well. As my mom began to deteriorate, Heather was always there to help me with any questions and to give me the mental support that I needed. She guided me and help me to make all the arrangements for mom to come home to Prema from the hospital at the end. (And my mom did want to go home from the hospital.) She was always available to me and never was short or impatient with me. Heather the director is also a sweet and loving lady. She brings her two dogs to work and my mom and I loved seeing them. She always would see me if I had any questions from billing to personnel. As she has said to me once, "I got you." and she always did. Even Shawn who works at the front desk (after being promoted) would go check on my mom. As well as Shawn and Phoebe (the dynamic duo) who took such good care to my mom on a daily and weekly basis. My mom was able to do her physical and occupational therapy on site as well. My mom was a "faller" and the Prema team did so many wonderful things to keep her on her feet in lieu of a wheelchair. She stayed on her feet almost to the end. Keon, Ebony and Oliver, are amazing. The other residents are also very friendly and open. Mom developed a very special friendship with another lady and they would sit and talk or sometimes just sit and watch people come in and out for hours or until the next activity! :) Thank you Prema at Ashton Hill for being such an important and wonderful part of my mom's life as well as my own. My husband and I always say that when our time comes we will be checking into Prema too!

This often sheds a dark light on an otherwise wonderful business and I am compelled to write. This is the case with Great Oaks! My sweet mama has called GO home for about a year and a half now and we have been so pleased with her care! She is treated like family! She is well cared for, has help with bathing if she needs it, has wonderful meals, has an array of games and activities to choose from daily, and even has her room cleaned and her clothes washed! The entire community, from nursing staff to housekeeping and dining room staff, knows her name, speaks to her lovingly, and always makes sure she is cared for! This facility is clean, well cared for, always smells nice, and everyone always seems so happy! I never worry about Mama because I know she is being taken care of by people who love her like she is their own! Notice in the pictures I've included how happy she looks! This was a day when my sweet mama was enjoying musical guests who had come to entertain the residents for Christmas! That smile lights up a room! Great Oaks is definitely a "place you'll love to call home!" I can't recommend it enough!

while I wish I could sit here and say this is a great company to work for, it isn't..........Three…read moreothers girl that work there have reported great oaks to ADS for the abuse done by TEAM LEADERS in the memory loss unit. The abuse is happening to all residents, but especially residents that cannot talk. we have reported the abuse to HR which is Tiffany Ash and she is still allowing these people to be employed here, which is why I decided to stop returning to work. If you have a loved one with memory loss, or unable to speak that is in there care, I would remove them imediatly. Not only is the abuse real, but they have memorized the days and the times family members usually come in, and only THEN will they rush to change residents to make sure they appear to be taken care of, Third shift does not change through the night and allow the residents to sit in pee and poop all night long, which results in their bedding being wet UNTIL 7AM when first shift comes in. This post is the only way I can think of right now to inform anyone of what goes on here, I will also be posting to other platforms in hope that the residents family see this.

Everywhere we looked had a typical nursing home feel to it and I was so sad having to consider placing my dad in such a place. He has such a huge spirit, he is the life of the party and he is super active and social. But it seemed that the other facilities were either independent senior living OR full nursing care.

We were fortunate to find a 2 bedroom and kitche area so we changed The second bedroom to a nice comfortable living room that has a door that leads out to a private patio. This is not cheap but after losing my father at the previous place these final years with mom I think will be comfortable here at Arbor Terrace. We came here after her brain surgery and she's had five strokes in the last two years and other injuries but no cancer and no dementia. I travel a lot but I'm with her at least three days a week and she's very demanding on the staff and me which is just her personality, but she's the love of my life and caring for her is my first priority I can't be prouder of the facilities here from the directors to the kitchen staff the medical staff all of the daily caregivers that works so hard to make everyone here as comfortable as they can be. I don't know how they do it. Everybody goes through various changes and illnesses in the later age but they manage it well. I thought I would write this during the pandemic as it's important to know that this location best that I can tell practices extreme safety, restricts entry from outsiders, are getting meals to everybody on time or three times a day every day, and dealing with family trying to see their loved ones who they haven't seen in over a month. There's many people to thank thank you all for the job you do the heroes that you are the care that you give to those we can't be with every day. Highly recommend!

It has truly allowed my father to regain some of the normalcy that he had prior to developing Alzheimers. I am also eternally great full for the experienced care he has recieved. My father was a resident of several other assisted living facilities in the area which supposedly specialized in Alzheimers care. However, that basically meant most of the residents took prescriptions to calm them down. Once my father came to Mt. Carmel, his medication was drastically reduced and he was able to participate in group activities and socialize with other residents and staff. I always recommend Mt. Carmel to anyone with an aging loved one suffering from Alzheimers. They are simply the best!

Carmel have for their extended family. The first thing that attracted me was the comfy homey feel and the way the residents were able to walk around without restriction, but also had resting places as needed,nice outdoor areas which all means alot to Alzheimers/Dementia suffers and most of all many of the staff members have been there for more than 15 years witch means alot to me and my family. I visit often and bring my grandchildren and have never been disappointed except for some missing eye glasses or socks but this to should be expected at this point in our loved ones life. We are the ones who now have to adjust,understand and just love them as they have loved us in the past......May GOD BLESS all who walk through this time in our lives with us and for us and those who don't understand yet.!

He was still very weak, to the point that someone had to be with him to make sure he ate and was giving water. He could not lift his arms at all. I visited with him on a Wednesday evening and was assured by the staff that he would be checked on every 15 minutes, so I went home for some much needed sleep. Fast forward 9 hrs, I get a phone call that said he had been found UNRESPONSIVE WITH THE BLANKET OVER HIS HEAD. I get to the hospital and when I spoke to the doctor, he stated that he had stopped life saving measures as soon as the paramedics brought dad in. Rigor had already set in. There is no possible way that dad could have, or would have, thrown that blanket over his head. He was to weak and was extremely claustrophobic. He wouldn't even close the restroom door! Don't put your loved one in this place, unless you can stay with them.
