Ashley Manor Evans 1 is a specialized memory care facility committed to providing compassionate and expert care for individuals experiencing dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other memory loss conditions. The philosophy at Ashley Manor Evans 1 centers around treating each resident as a unique and special individual, emphasizing dignity, respect, and kindness in all aspects of care. The staff is carefully selected, with team members like Marlene, who began her healthcare career as a C.N.A. in 2012 and has been devoted to senior care from an early age, inspired by her own experiences supporting family members with memory loss. This depth of personal commitment is reflected in the daily operations and the personalized attention given to each resident.
Understanding the challenges that both residents and their families face, Ashley Manor Evans 1 has tailored its environment and care approach to address the unique needs of those living with memory loss. The home employs a number of innovative therapies designed to support and enhance the quality of life for residents, including aroma therapy with a proprietary blend of calming oils, resident-appropriate music therapy that takes rhythms and beats into consideration to create a soothing atmosphere, and light therapy utilizing a natural sunlight spectrum to help regulate energy levels and sleep patterns. Additionally, reminiscence therapy is incorporated to stimulate the brain and help slow the progression of memory loss, while hydration therapy is prioritized to support overall well-being and minimize common challenges such as skin integrity issues and infections.
The facility itself is intentionally small and designed to feel like a home, helping to reduce confusion and create a sense of comfort and familiarity. Features such as circular walking paths that always return residents to their starting point and personalized memory boxes outside each suite have been thoughtfully included to ease feelings of disorientation. Customized activities and a warm, home-like environment ensure residents remain engaged, with meaningful routines that keep both mind and body active.
Ashley Manor Evans 1 recognizes the emotional difficulties that come with the decision to entrust a loved one’s care to a memory care facility.

The staff is dedicated to supporting families through this transition, offering reassurance that their loved ones will be cared for with the same compassion and thoughtfulness that the founders desired for their own. Through all of its programs and services, Ashley Manor Evans 1 aims to provide peace of mind, expert dementia care, and a home where residents are valued and supported every day.
