Aston Gardens at Parkland Commons

I could only dream that I would find a home for my mother as wonderful as Aston Gardens Assisted Living. The facility is beautiful, clean and inviting. The entire staff is warm and caring. There are innumerable activities all day long. My mom absolutely loves living in this amazing environment. What a blessing!

Moving a parent to an assisted living facility can be a difficult challenge but the folks at Aston Gardens Parkland were extremely helpful and were patient with us thru the entire process. Rita and Derrick literally worked with us for months while we toured options and figured out the best fit for our mother. Once we decided to move forward, everyone at Aston continued to help us thru the steps. Our mother is all moved in now and is raving about how good the food is and how nice and helpful the people are. She is even enjoying the live music, trivia games etc and is making friends. I definitely recommend this facility!

Derrick Milhouse is the Senior Lifestyle Counselor at Aston Gardens. He went above and beyond to help my family to find me an apartment at Aston Gardens. I am grateful for all his assistance, flexibility and kindness throughout the process. I live in Boston and have not yet arrived in Florida. I look forward to meeting him when I join the Aston Gardens community so I can thank him in person. He went above and beyond to make a complicated transition run smoothly.

Placing a parent into assisted living is never an easy task. Even during the best of times, when our loved ones are mobile and of sound mind, it's a grueling and emotional undertaking with lots of moving parts. There are many things to think of such as location, the size of the facility, the number of staff, quality of the apartments, and of course, cost. When my mom fell for the dozenth time in the middle of the night, there was no question about her next move after she was discharged from rehab. My wife and I needed her to be in a safe place that provided the care that she needed and was close by. We also had to work fast because her discharge from rehab was just days away and there was no way she could go back to her home by herself. Once I made the decision to move my mom into assisted living, we utilized the services of a Senior Placement Consultant, who took us to over a half dozen facilities within a ten-mile radius of our home. While some of them checked all of the boxes, none came as close as The Inn at Aston Gardens. My wife and I were impressed the second we walked through the doors, from the cleanliness and decor of the buildings, to the staff that we met with to discuss my mom’s situation, Rita and Derrick. A tour of the Inn impressed us enough to place a deposit on the spot. The move-in was easy and my mom’s new care managers came by to introduce themselves, as well as senior staff and the nursing team. Since my mom was wheelchair bound, we opted for the optional escort service to get her to and from the dining room and recreational areas. This was money well spent. It took about a month for my mom to get fully acclimated to her new routine and environs, and in that time started mingling and made a few new friends. Much to my surprise, she started engaging with the daily activities early on to the point where she was out of her apartment from 8:30am until 7:30pm. The care that my mother received at The Inn exceeded expectations. A lot of this was due to the onsite physician, Dr Hadeed, Lori the nurse and Alice, nursing head. But there are many more people that I need to recognize and thank: Melanie Rivera, the Administrator. During our tour of The Inn, we bumped into Melanie in the hallway, where she introduced herself. She was eager to answer all of our questions, no matter how mundane, such as package delivery. Melanie is a true professional and is beloved by all. Allyson Katz, Director of Recreation. Allyson was the first to point out that my mom was participating in events and was settling in. Finding Allyson is easy because she’s always around and displaying a big smile. Kathleen, Activities Director. I feared that my mom would resist partaking in activities, but Kathleen got her involved. As it turned out, my mom became very active in all daily activities, thanks to Kathleen. One of my fears of an assisted living facility was frequent employee turnover. When I voiced this concern, I was informed that a lot of the staff have been with Aston for well over 20 years. After getting to know some of the employees, they did in fact confirm the number of years they have been with the company, some as long as 25 years. Sadly, my mom eventually passed on and everyone at The Inn who came in contact with her were saddened. Exiting the agreement was easy, and a refund for the remainder of the unused month was issued. I would not hesitate to recommend Aston Gardens to anyone who needs an assisted living facility for themselves or a loved one. It is top-notch.
