Ashwood Place in Frankfort, KY

4.1
We chose Ashwood Place because of the close proximity to me, their physicians, hospital, and costs. Facility and staff are great! Food services are inconsistent. A big portion of what we pay is for the food service and feel it should improve--a lot. Seniors obviously need good nutrition.
