A distinctive aspect of Ashley Manor At Carson is the range of sensory therapies integrated into the care regimen. The staff employs aromatherapy with a proprietary blend of essential oils, specially crafted to calm behaviors and alleviate symptoms of depression. Music therapy is also a key component, utilizing resident-appropriate music with carefully chosen rhythms and beats to promote relaxation and instill a sense of calm. The facility makes extensive use of natural lighting, replicating sunlight throughout the home, which assists in preventing “Sundowners,” increases resident energy, and helps to maintain healthy sleep patterns.
In addition to these sensory therapies, Ashley Manor At Carson offers reminiscence therapy aimed at slowing the progression of memory loss by engaging residents’ minds through focused brain exercise and stimulation. Hydration therapy is another important aspect of care, supporting physical health by improving balance, reducing the risk of infections, lessening skin tears, and minimizing certain behaviors associated with dementia. The staff also customizes a variety of activities to keep minds and bodies active, enriching daily life and maintaining a sense of purpose and fulfillment for each resident.
