Asbury Senior Apartments
New Independent Senior Living
​ by Ken Resch, Asbury Senior Apartments

Dubuque native, Stephen Resch, has chosen to reinvest his talents in a new local business designed with seniors in mind. Resch graduated from Hempstead in 1995, West Point Military Academy in 1999, and will soon retire from the United States Army as a Lieutenant Colonel and combat veteran. As Resch began to approach military retirement, he invested in several commercial properties in Dubuque. He and business partner Richard Schega, also a West Point graduate, established Patriot One Capital LLC and acquired several multi-family properties in Illinois and Missouri. They are now poised to offer seniors beautiful one and two-bedroom luxury apartments on Dubuque’s west end. 

Asbury Senior Apartments, located at 4885 Asbury Road, once Heritage Manor Nursing Home and later Hawkeye Care Center, is an excellent community for active and independent seniors. Asbury Plaza is situated within walking distance and is anchored by Hy-Vee grocery, Premier Bank, Kohl’s Department Store, and a mix of over a dozen other retailers. Beyond the Plaza are many other businesses and restaurants which collectively offer an abundance of services desired by seniors. 

The City of Dubuque bus service—The Jule—has a stop at Hy-Vee and transports riders to the downtown area and numerous locations in between. The Northwest Arterial is located nearby, providing easy access to all highways. Less than ten minutes away by car are beautiful parks and walking trails. Several houses of worship are also located within minutes of the property and the nearby Asbury City Hall houses a branch of the Dubuque County Library. The vibrant western fringe of the City of Dubuque affords seniors every service imaginable—all within a short drive or walk.
After a two-year renovation, 24 brand new luxury apartments and 17 renovated apartments have been created to meet the needs of independent seniors. Amenities include multiple on-site laundry facilities, a centrally located and spacious common area , and an outdoor covered patio. Other services offered include discounted WiFi, room cleaning and vending with more to follow.  Residents have convenient ADA access to each level from the newly paved parking areas surrounding the building. Security and safety are of paramount importance as evidenced by surveillance cameras, ample perimeter lighting, and locking exterior doors throughout the complex. 

​In our luxury apartments—some fully ADA compliant—residents will find new contemporary kitchens; spacious closets; accessible, open floor plans; new, laminate wood flooring; sprinkler systems, and integrated fire alarms; a smoke-free building and grounds. We believe you will thoroughly enjoy maintenance free west-end living here at the Asbury Senior Apartments—offering independent living in a friendly, caring environment where neighbors become your friends! If you have questions or would like to set up a no-obligation tour, please call our local representative, Ken Resch, at 563-599-5831.

Here Are 2 New Scams to Watch Out For

They never stop. Scammers are continually busy, and so must we be to stay one step ahead of them. Here are two more scams they’re trying to foist on us.

If you’re still working and receive W-2 or 1099 forms, look them over very carefully. If it’s a 1099-G, that’s for unemployment benefits. Did you receive those benefits? If not, it means that a scammer has used your identity to collect benefits. Those 1099-G forms go to the IRS, and that income is taxable.

Contact the unemployment office that issued the 1099-G and have them send a corrected form showing zero unemployment income. If you can’t get the corrected form in time, file your taxes without using that 1099-G dollar amount and enclose a note saying you didn’t receive unemployment benefits. The IRS is well aware of
this problem.

Then send for your credit report, check it and put a freeze on your credit.

In another new scam, if you do an online search for a big box store and the first result on the list says “Ad” in front of the store name, don’t click it. This scam is especially sneaky because if you click on the “Ad” link, you’ll initially go to a page that looks very real. It isn’t.

Clicking it will take you to a site that may freeze your screen ... and provide you a handy phone number to call to have the problem fixed. The person at the other end is a scammer who will ask for permission to access your computer remotely. If you allow it, he’ll put a bug in your computer that locks everything up, and you’ll have to pay to get it released.

Instead of doing a search, type in the Internet address of the store you want (call them if you’re not sure what it is) and go directly there.
