Asher Point Independent Living of Hoover

Asher Point is great. Mary was very helpful and nice. The one thing that makes this place even better is Hunter the sales and marketing director. He always went above and beyond. He was always helping even if it wasn’t his job. I can’t say enough good things about Asher Point. This is a great place for your loved ones.

Please be aware that this facility has ZERO oversight by any elder care watch groups. I learned this from the county ombudsman. He wished he could help me but advised independent living facilities skirt any rules regarding how the elderly are treated or cared for. Additionally, there is an in house care giving group called the Angels of Mercy that is a separate charge from the rent to live there. They have No oversight either. This hack agency is owned by one nurse and she employs a handful of people who are not medically trained, nor have any compassion for the elderly. It's just a job to them. I selected the highest care plan available for my disabled Mom. ($1500 a month extra) My Mom wore diapers because she was unable to walk or sit on a commode without falling off. She could not take a shower nor could she hold her own toothbrush. I was told the "Angels" would be her physical support with all these needs. I was assured they could handle her. However, more than once my Mom sat in wet or "full" diapers for more than 10 hours. I paid for her to have wellness checks every two hours. Apparently I was mistaken when I thought that meant they would change her pants. She would be chastised for asking for her diapers to be changed. I lived over an hour away but would go there each day to brush her teeth because they would not. If I ever had to go out of town for work, my Mom would not get her teeth brushed for up to 5 days. I placed an electric toothbrush on her kitchen table for her to try to do it in between my visits ..but someone would always push it too far back so she could not reach it. My Mom nearly died on on their watch...in 6 months she was admitted to the hospital twice because because no one on duty recognized she was burning up with a fever as a result of a severe UTI...brought on by dirty diapers. I took her out of there after only 6 months because I could not trust any of the Angels to be smart enough, or caring enough to ensure her safety.

I checked out lots of other places and chose Rocky Ridge for my mom 14 years ago. She has made so many friends and loves being there. The office staff is very friendly (especially Tab). Keep up the good work.
