Asbury-Solomons

[candel]

Hi, I'm thinking of moving into Asbury-Solomons community. It seems like a really nice area....small town, but close to all shopping just over the bridge. Does anyone have any comments about Asbury....like it, hate it? Do you know of anyone who lives there who can give some input?

Thanks, for any information.

Asbury-Solomons has an excellent reputation. Most say you have to have money to be able to afford living there.
I have met many people that work there and employees seem to like their jobs.
I have met many people that live there and have never heard anything but positive about the place and what it offers.
I have delivered dog food to a customer in an apartment and was impressed with the cleanliness overall and the friendliness of everyone I encountered.
One of my stores is in the shopping plaza across the road and I am thrilled they have apartments and cottages for people with pets. There is one lady I have known for several years that has declined a lot physically and mentally, but she perks right up when she talks about her dog.
They have security officers there and it is considered a safe place to live. Probably the biggest safety issue I know of is a group of feral youth skateboarders that sometimes hang out there.

I thought the skateboarder problem was at Solomons Landing.

Thanks for your quick reply. What a great commentary you gave....really helpful! It's nice to hear from people first-hand, rather than just rely on "sales pitch". :-)

Save your money and move into the condos on the other side of the highway, or check out Solomons Nursing Home to see if you like the conditions there. That wi be where you end up after they bleed you dry of all your money...

The skateboarder problem is throughout Lusby & Solomons; including the shopping plaza I am in. It is a continuous problem and hassle.

Understood, but the shooting happened at Solomons Landing.

Solomons Landing is where the feral skaters met there match.

It has not stopped them one bit. In fact, a few weeks ago, a resident and neighbor of the "shooter" reported to the police that the skateboarders were back on the property pointing up to Mr. Armiger's window.

Actually, they don't drain you of your money. For what you get, living at Asbury is quite affordable, and seniors who live there seem to really enjoy and appreciate all that's available. I'd only hope that I'd be able to live in such a community when I retire - the peace of mind and companionship of other seniors would be what I'd want when I reach that age, not to mention travel, on-site dining, a pool and full service wellness center, 24/7 security, skilled nursing (should it be needed), home care services, daily worship, and the list goes on and on. I work my entire life - I am surely going to live somewhere to enjoy the money I've earned and saved.

And, itsbob, should an Asbury resident run out of money, they do not end up anywhere but their Asbury home. Asbury is a nonprofit community, and is served by a benevolent care fund - should a resident run out of money, their foundation steps in and pays for the resident to stay at Asbury (unless of course they intentionally give away or spend all their money, but in their 15 year history, that's never happened). So it would be counterproductive on their part to "drain" people when they've agreed to care for them should the need arise.
