Reply Charles Duggan, a retired accountant, says moving to Ashby Ponds was "the best financial decision we’ve made." "I am absolutely convinced that moving to Ashby Ponds was the best value for our investment," says Charles Duggan, a retired accountant who serves as chair of the Resident Advisory Council. "This is clearly the best financial decision we've made, and it's turned out to be the best social decision we've made too." Charles and his wife Eileen knew that they were interested in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in the Virginia/Maryland area, so they visited a number of options before they chose Ashby Ponds, an Erickson Living-managed community in Ashburn.
