Anthology of Blue Ash

People should ask or know about the difference in care levels. This facility is mostly for those with high amounts of independence. Once my father worsened, there was limited floor space in the "extra care" wing. This was a cause for concern. Ultimately, it worked out, but needs for loved ones can change drastically and suddenly.

They offer a good variety of activities. Very pleased. They now also have various church services as well. I would recommend the facility. Nice community with very caring and friendly staff.

The tour that we took of Anthology of Blue Ash was amazing, we were impressed and all of the staff were very friendly. This facility is gorgeous and well decorated. The main areas were always kept clean. The staff were mostly friendly. The meals appeared to be tasty. The facility seems to have little to no knowledge of how to care for patients in memory care with late stage Alzheimer's. The staff was never consistent, which interrupted care. Several times we couldn't find any staff with a key to let us out of the memory care, because all of the staff were from agencies. We have found our loved one's room with dried fecal matter on the couch that had obviously been there for some time. They were ill equipped to deal with basic behaviors that relate to Alzheimer's such as wandering, and confusion. I would not recommend this facility to anyone I know, specifically the memory care side.

I would recommend it to anyone. I think I've said it it's a good place.

Anthology is a newer facility, beautiful inside and out. The shared spaces are well planned and generous. The apartments are nice with adequate space, some with balconies overlooking a fabulous courtyard. Staffing is sometimes an issue, and that ebbs and flows. Their Activities Director is clearly very invested in delivering a great experience for the residents. High quality and plentiful activities are Anthology's strongest attribute, making it easy for residents to be engaged, stimulated, and to meet others. The location is ideal, immediately adjacent to Blue Ash's Summit Park and good restaurants. Being somewhat new, there are still some kinks to work out, but I would recommend Anthology when comparing it to many of its peers.

I would recommend. You have the park outside with all of their activities. Restaurants within walking distance. The facility is trying very hard. They have the same issues as others with retaining good staff. They have monthly meeting to get input from their residents. My loved one chose this community, and because of the location, facility, and they offered Memory Care and Assisted Living.

Meals for independent residents is too bland, to soft, not appetizing. How many ways can you make hamburger? Ask the chef.

sales did an amazing job showing us around the community. Answer all our questions and enjoyed meeting the other directors. Meeting other residents was a plus!

The community is new. Many of the "kinks" are not yet worked out. Management has not been able to hire and keep employees in critical positions like the cafeteria. "Skilled care" is limited to a single floor. This may be desirable for some, but is extremely limiting as age and care needs progress. The high "community fee" prevents many from moving frequently or moving at all if budgets are fixed and limited. The facility is beautiful, but look beyond the veneer. Hopefully, they will work things out, but currently there are issues.

Be honest. Do what you promise. Care for the people that pay the bill. Provide quality life.

It's a lovely, beautiful, new facility. I feel that my loved one is safe there, and I don't need to worry about her. The staff are mixed - some are great, and some maybe need a little training / settling in. As a new facility, I feel like there's a learning curve. They're also not at full capacity yet, which affects the amenities. But it has great potential. Everyone is very nice and definitely tries their hardest. The most important thing is I don't worry about my loved one, and I still highly recommend it. I looked at a bunch of places. I thought t was the best after all my tours, and I still feel like it's the best, even compared to other places that were more expensive. I think they can and will improve as everyone they matures into their roles.

The facility has lots of windows and natural light coming in. There is access to the outside where they have bocce ball, a putting course, barbeque grill, etc. It is also surrounded by the park which has its own sets of activities as well. The location is great and it has been a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Anthology of Blue Ash to others.
