Independent Living
My mother came to Ashbury when she could no longer live unassisted in her home. The move was very hard for her. Not only was she recovering from a broken hip, she also had to give up her independence and the privacy of her own home. The Ashbury staff helped her make this transition in a very caring way. Thank you Ashbury for giving my mother not only a new place to call home, but creating a new community of friends for her.
We are happy and have met so many friends. New friends and ones that we knew before we moved into Lenoir. We love the food and are learning about new activities every day. We are anxious to have COVID behind us so we can invite friends to visit us and eat with us.
Staff are professional and very helpful Apartment sizes are great and amenities offered are very nice. I would recommend Solstice Senior Living at Columbia.
