    Comfortable attentive staff and therapists

    I feel very comfortable here - the staff are attentive and caring, nurses and aides are polite, and OT/PT therapists do amazing work that put me at ease. They provide dialysis transportation, Sunday bingo and creative activities, tasty meals, and the office staff (Alyssa especially) goes above and beyond; residents seem active and happy and I feel safe and well cared for.

    Summary of reviews

    The reviews present a mixed picture of care and services at the facility. On the positive side, many families and residents describe compassionate nursing and caregiving staff, with particular praise for occupational and physical therapy services (including in-room visits). Several accounts emphasize staff who provide individualized attention and go beyond basic duties, and administrative and social-work staff are frequently described as helpful and supportive. Activity programming โ€” such as bingo, crafts, and dedicated therapyโ€‘unit events โ€” and transportation assistance for medical needs (for example, dialysis) are noted strengths, as are tasty meals and friendly dining staff.

    However, the accounts also identify several recurring operational concerns. Staffing consistency appears uneven: reviewers cite aides who seem stretched thin and delayed response times to call lights, which suggests gaps in staffing levels or shift coverage. Relatedly, there are reports indicating inconsistent personal-care practices, including bathing and clothing/linen management. Several reviewers raised concerns about staff conduct and communication tone; these comments describe interactions that families found inappropriate or unduly abrupt and warrant attention to staff training and supervision.

    Facility upkeep and housekeeping receive contrasting comments. Some reviewers describe clean, freshโ€‘smelling resident areas and spotless sections of the building, while others point to maintenance and housekeeping deficiencies in common areas, cluttered entrances, and an overall need for interior and exterior refresh and updated furnishings. There is also at least one serious claim involving property loss; the aggregate description suggests the facility should review property-handling controls and incident response procedures.

    In summary, the facility demonstrates clear strengths in rehabilitative therapy, engaging activities, meal service, and elements of compassionate caregiving and administrative support. At the same time, persistent issues around staffing consistency, personal-care reliability, staff conduct, environmental maintenance, and property controls create a polarized experience for families. Prospective residents and their families should weigh the facilityโ€™s therapy and activity offerings and positive staff interactions against these operational weaknesses, and may wish to ask management about recent staffing changes, incident-reporting practices, housekeeping schedules, and safeguards for resident property before making placement decisions.

    About Ashland Health Services

    Ashland Health Services is a senior living community in Ashland, Wisconsin, offering a range of nursing and rehabilitation care options and you'll find it's connected with Ashland Health & Rehab Ctr, providing care for those who need 24-hour nursing, long-term support, or skilled rehab services, and the staff put attention into nutritious meals made with good ingredients to help promote each resident's health and well-being. The facility has a certified bed count of 117 but averages about 37 residents per day, and services go from assisted living and intermediate care to chronic care and specialty programs like rehabilitation, physical therapy, and occupational therapy-both inpatient and outpatient-and there are speech therapy and memory care services for people with conditions like Alzheimer's, plus wound care, palliative care, and respiratory therapy onsite. Ashland Health Services also supports medical surgical needs, provides activity and wellness therapies, and has its own dedicated therapy gyms, a Transitional Living Center, private rooms, in-house lab testing, in-house X-rays, swallow studies, wound care, a full pharmacy, help with discharge planning, and even an emergency kit, and for those needing extra support, there's home health and hospice care. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, and people can get specialty care through services such as IV fluids, IV antibiotics, PICC management, automatic defibrillator, and help arranging dialysis transportation. The staff includes nurses and therapists and they offer staffing opportunities for CNAs, LVNs, and RNs, and the nurses average about 2.78 hours per resident each day with a nurse turnover rate of 65.1%. The facility's run by North Shore Healthcare LLC since February 2019, overseen by Troy Baumann, Jeffrey Hoehn, and Tammy Kurtz since 2018, and it has had about 20 inspection deficiencies, including 4 relating to infection control like COVID-19 education and vaccine procedures, and another administrative deficiency concerning reporting to CMS, though neither resulted in actual harm but could have caused some. Ashland Health Services serves people from the Bad River, Lac Courte Oreilles, and Red Cliff Tribes, and has branch offices in Ashland, Bayfield, Iron, Price, and Sawyer counties, and supports shift work for staff through a mobile app. The environment feels homely, and there are modern touches but they do aim to create a comfortable space, with amenities and personal support focused on improving daily quality of life, and there's a strong reputation in the community for steady care rather than flash or hype.
