Aston Gardens At Parkland Commons

A relative of ours was looking for an independent living facility in California and could not find anything in his budget. He had just had some health problems and his outlook on life was bleak. We looked around for him in South Florida to be near us and he came to Aston Gardens based on how we loved it. Turns out Aston Gardens is so much better than anything we had considered in California or Orlando!

Aston Gardens has definitely made a huge difference for him: he’s happier than I’ve ever see him! He’s always talking about his friends at Aston Gardens now; he sings in their music group; he goes gallivanting around Ft. Lauderdale with one of his friends; he meets at others’ homes for birthdays and holidays. Someone is throwing him a birthday party this coming week and 18 people are coming. He just went to another person’s birthday party at a swanky restaurant.

I was impressed that his friends raised funds to help Ukraine and they do other civic minded activities. The local high school has s Christmas parade on golf carts through their community. The synagogue nearby gave the residents gifts for Purim this past year. It’s a wonderful community.

He was so excited when the dining room was remodeled and bragged on it, so I went to take pictures of it. Tee and Addie, the staff today, welcomed me to the dining area and added that they were proud of their gym, concert room and games area also. Tee and Addie knew my relative by name and by what they said I could tell the staff here cares about residents here.

Aston Gardens is situated pretty near to a shopping center to the north. South of it are all the stores and restaurants and shops you could ever wish for. It’s a very nice area of town.

When my husband and I moved to Orlando we toured other independent living facilities with our relative but he decided to stay at Aston Gardens. His friends told him they would miss him and I think that means so much to him.

We couldn’t be happier that he moved to Aston Gardens. We hope it continues to stay as wonderful as it has been.

Aston Gardens at Parkland is an answer for so many of our needs. Rita Armstrong worked diligently to ensure that we were able to see all of the apartments that would best suit our physical needs. She continued to contact me updating me on the terrific plans and renovations that have been done on the buildings in the grounds and we celebrate living in this community now and making new friends every day. Kudos to Rita for all her hard work! We are blessed.

Aston Gardens at Parkland Commons is a top notch Assisted Living option for your parent's golden years. Every star is well earned, from the staff, to the amenities, and the overall cleanliness of the properties. I can't say enough positive things from the moment you walk in for the initial meeting with counselors, to the administration, and the nursing care. A huge thank you to Ana McKinney, Melanie Riveria, and Julie Cooper and the entire AG staff that is making our Father's time there blessed and he is truly happy.

I can’t say enough about Aston Gardens in Parkland and the excellent care that my Mom, Beulah Kaplan received during the 11 1/2 months that she lived in the memory care facility. It all started with Ana McKinney, who laughed and cried with me and went above and beyond to assist me with the move in process. Then Julie Cooper came to my Mom’s apartment to assess her and my Mom loved her and told her so at the end of the first meeting. Julie always kept me informed of any changes in Mom’s health and safety. Lori Nicolaison also went above and beyond to manage my Mom’s meds and also kept me informed of any changes. Allyson Katz did a phenomenal job of planning activities for the residents and sending me so many pictures of my Mom singing and dancing. The staff members at Aston Gardens treated my Mom with so much love, kindness and compassion. Melanie Rivera is a true professional and kept us informed with weekly updates about the residents’ vaccinations. When I had trouble signing my Mom up for the booster shot, Melanie assured me that if I was unable to complete the application, she would assist me on my next visit to complete the application online. She is a great asset to Aston Gardens. This facility could not function so well and be so successful without the great leadership of Sue Butler. Thank you all so much for making the last year of my Mom’s life so memorable and for treating my Mom like she was your own Mom. I will forever be grateful.

Sincerely,
Laurie Byrnes

My mother has been a resident at Parkland Commons for almost 2 years and has been delighted from the first minute. Early during the Covid-19 pandemic, Aston Gardens mapped out a long-term strategy to sanitize the apartments and common areas of the facility, maintain social distancing and limit visitors to the complex. In addition, on a day-to-day basis, the management has attended to every detail of the residents' needs to insure that they are healthy, well-fed, well-informed and safe. Even though I cannot travel to visit my mother, It is a great comfort to know that she is healthy and extremely happy.
