I'm currently in Aston Gardens At Tampa Bay. My wife and I moved in probably a little over three years ago. We have found it very congenial, and we like the service. They are having a lot of difficulty staffing and all that. It's not because of them; it's just the problem of getting staff today. The staff is very good. They are trying it all under the circumstances. The food is very good. The chef is outstanding. He has been trying to always keep up. I don't know how he does it with the supply of food today and the cost of food, but he has continued to have excellent meals. The maintenance takes care of everything, and I've had very good service in terms of whenever I needed maintenance. They just redid our air conditioning, not only outside but inside, they did put new equipment in. I'm in a two-bedroom with a full kitchen. We have two beds, a living room, and an outdoor porch that's screened in. They just re-did everything. They came in and re-furbish the whole facility on the outside, the main area, and the eating area. It was a complete redo. I've been involved with bingo. We had a choral group, but the lady who led the choral group had to go into assisted living and now we're trying to rebuild the group again. I have been active in Tai Chi, there is Tai Chi once a week, I've enjoyed that, and it's been helpful. We just got a new activity director. When you're changing staff, everything is being changed around. It's a little disruptive right now. I would say it's a good value.

My parents are at Aston Gardens At Tampa Bay, and they're very happy there. My mom has a few complaints about the food. But they have activities, and they enjoy bridge, number one. They've made a lot of friends and they're constantly doing things with their friends. They're always going down for happy hours and they're always going together. My mom goes to get her hair done there all the time. Their room has a kitchen and a couple of closets. The staff is very nice courteous, friendly, and helpful. They have a pool and hot tub. They're independent living, and so they have it all The place was remodeled the last six months and it is beautiful. I would say it's a friendly community. You don't have high rises, the most it goes is a couple of floors. And it's all around the lake that's very picturesque. It's a place where you get to meet people and make good friends.

My mom will be moving into Gardens at Tampa Bay, and she will be staying in the independent living. They also provide assisted living onsite, which is a plus for me, so she doesn't have to move out of that complex if she needs assisted living. I like that it did not feel like an assisted living at all. It had an almost ballroom type of feel when you walked into it. The apartments do seem more like apartments because you don't walk down a hallway to get to them. This is probably important for them to know that the buildings are separate from the dining area, but they do have a covered walkway for the residents to actually walk to the dining area. It almost seemed like you're on a vacation. The room she's going to be in is beautiful and totally redone with a balcony or a lanai. They do provide transportation where they pick you up right by your front door to take you to the ballroom area. It was just nice. You can't even tell that there is an assisted living facility on the property. They are also putting in a dog park, which is a huge thing for my mother. Robin was the one who helped me during the tour, and she was very professional and very personable. It was enjoyable talking to her, and I never felt any pressure. I would see a scratch on the door that I asked to be taken care of before she moves in, they were taken care of. I brought in a TV that had to be hung, and before I left, the TV was already hung up. However, I might not be as happy with the food because of the way they charge you for food delivery, but we'll see. I'm going to rate the whole facility a four, because even if it is just renovated, there's little things that need to be done, replacing carpeting would be nice. Now, the appearance of her apartment is definitely a five.

My sister-in-law loves Aston Gardens At Tampa Bay. It's a great choice. They're excellent. It looks like a resort apartment complex. The activities have been somewhat limited due to COVID, but everybody's beginning to pick up now. She really loves the food. They have free cable, free electricity, and a pendant that she can wear when she falls, or when something happens, she can press that button, and that's no extra charge. They have meals and activities. They have a pool, and I know she plans to do water aerobics. They've got beautiful grounds and covered walkways. They have a lake and you can walk all around the lake under covered walkways, so if it's raining, you still have a nice walking path. It's a lovely place. One of the reasons we chose Aston Gardens At Tampa Bay was my sister-in-law lives in Hillsborough County, and she did not want to change all her doctors.

Aston Gardens was really appealing and number one on my list. It was very well taken care of and had a wide variety of activities which appealed to me. They had an exercise room, a pool, and a very nice staff. They had cruises, visits to the theaters, puzzles, knitting, and they have a crafts room and library. However, it was too expensive.

I think we’ve decided to go to Ashton Gardens at Tampa Bay. We lived there five years ago, and now we are going back. They had a lot of activities that we took part in. The setting was nice, and the food seemed to be pretty good. They are rebuilding the whole place. As people move out, they are remodeling the apartment and putting new appliances in the kitchen. They now have a washer and dryer and a dishwasher in each of the larger apartments, but not in the smaller apartments. Ours is going to be a remodeled apartment with new carpeting, so it is like new. We haven’t moved in yet, so we don’t know about the activities and the food quality, but we do remember that the food quality was good when we were there before, so it should be the same.

Our impression of Aston Gardens at Tampa Bay was that the building was filthy. When we walked in, the lounge area was really pretty. They had all antique stuff there, and that was good. We went into the administration office, which was not well kept. We were shown the poker room and a bar area, which had wooden floors that were all scratched up and not well kept. The staff who took us around was good.

I was not happy with the cleanliness of Aston Gardens at Tampa Bay. I think they need to keep it up better. The rooms and food appeared to be fine, and the staff appeared very friendly. I didn’t see much evidence of security. It was a bit expensive, and the value was not quite there for us. Their location near Tampa would be interesting and near the coast.

We had a very nice tour at Ashton Gardens. We had lunch there, and it was good and well prepared. We are on a waiting list for one of the villas. We were very happy with it.

We are going to Aston Gardens. I like the units. They had activities like bridge, and that interested me. I had eaten there, and food was just fine. I liked the floor plan.

We have moved into Aston Gardens. The administration and staff are all very involved in their work with the residents and the home; we are all part of each other. We have a one-bedroom apartment, which is very nice and adequate for just the two of us. It is pretty well-kept, and they provide service for whatever we need . They have exercises, painting classes, and various domino and card games. The food has been very good all the time. The home is now in the middle of remodeling inside and out, so they are shuffling around the dining rooms while they are remodeling, but overall it has been very good, and they've been able to handle it very well.

I went to view this facility while my daughter was here from Colorido. She works with the seniors with there medicare problems so she was able to obtain all the necessary information that would cover all the areas that would needed to be covered for my wife and me. We were given a tour of the facility and all questions on the needed cost were explained. We were given a great tour of all units and full explained cost. Had a very nice meal and view all of the clubhouse and given a copy of all the events they have during the month. We were invited back for an other visit and to give them a call or return visit if we came up with any questions we felt we needed to discuse.
