Toured the new rooms at Ashby. Lovely living areas and very tasteful décor. Lots happening and smiling residents. Just what we want to see in aged care!
Thank you for your review Jane - we're glad you liked the new look at BlueCross Ashby. We think the renovations and extension have made this residence even more inviting for residents and their families - the decked terrace will be a wonderful space come the warmer weather too.
