Community Reviews
To know: This is an UNSKILLED care apartment home.
reviewed on: 01/11/2016 by AnonymousAster CG is a warm, sunny, comfortable environment with individual 'apartments'. Different from a skilled care facility in that it gives the resident their own space rather than a hospital style room. Positives: friendly help to assist with daily needs, medicine needs and meals served. Negatives: food is very basic and not to the liking of most residents, employee turnover is frequent and UNSKILLED so though they are nice, not many are there long enough to learn the individuals and their needs. If a resident takes a downturn, they are slow to recognize that fact so it is very important that family visit frequently. When looking for a place to call our parent's home, as far as unskilled care centers, Aster was most convenient and comparable to the rest. Food was the main complaint when speaking with residents at all places.
Not appropriate for more than minimal care needs
reviewed on: 05/15/2014 by Loved oneThis facility really did not end up being a good place for my loved one. It is a lovely looking, clean place, but it really was not geared towards anyone with more than minimal care needs. I'd make specific care requests and get mixed results, and things just moved too slow for someone with the care needs my loved one had. We moved her out within a few months to a more appropriate community.
Transportation offered in overall cost.

reviewed on: 12/19/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerToured on August 19th at 200pm with the director. Nice enough, rooms utilitarian. Residents looked like they were enjoying an activity in the main area, spoke to several people sitting outside as I walked in, pleasant.
Nice Facility With a Lot of Amenities
reviewed on: 12/12/2017 by AnonymousAster Retirement is a very nice community. We toured there while looking for a place for my loved one, and it seemed like a very nice facility with a lot of amenities. However, I think it was just a little too fancy for my loved one, and it was too far out from Madison to be practical for visiting.
