Ashley Manor Care Centers Inc Orchard is dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care for seniors with memory loss. Recognizing the unique and evolving needs of those living with dementia, Ashley Manor emphasizes a philosophy rooted in dignity, respect, and kindness. The Orchard location is specifically designed to offer a tranquil, home-like environment that fosters comfort, familiar routines, and meaningful engagement for residents at every stage of memory impairment.
At Ashley Manor, the well-being of each resident takes priority, with a focus on offering the very highest level of care. The facilities incorporate a range of innovative therapies tailored to support individuals with memory challenges. Aroma Therapy utilizes a proprietary blend of calming oils that not only soothe behaviors but also help lift depression. Music Therapy is another integral part of the daily experience, where resident-appropriate music is selected with careful attention to rhythms and beats, creating a calming atmosphere and enhancing emotional well-being.
Lighting also plays a significant role in Ashley Manor’s approach, with the use of a special natural lighting spectrum that replicates sunlight. This Light Therapy is designed to help alleviate symptoms such as “Sundowners,” boost energy levels, and improve residents’ sleep patterns. The care team places an emphasis on Reminiscence Therapy, engaging residents in memory exercises and brain-stimulating activities that work to slow the progression of memory loss. Additionally, Hydration Therapy supports better balance, reduces infections, helps prevent skin tears, and lessens behavioral challenges.
To further meet the needs of each individual, Ashley Manor offers customized activities that keep both minds and bodies active, ensuring that life remains as meaningful and engaging as possible. Facilities are intentionally small and home-like, contributing to a calming atmosphere and minimizing confusion. Features such as circular walking paths and memory boxes outside each resident’s suite are thoughtfully included to help residents navigate more easily and feel at home.
Ashley Manor Care Centers Inc Orchard was founded from the deeply personal experiences of its founders, who sought a place for their own loved ones where the highest standards of care were met. Unsatisfied with what existed, they created Ashley Manor to fulfill their vision of exceptional memory care. This legacy is reflected in the daily operations and caring ethos that define the community. Each decision and program within the Orchard location is grounded in the belief that seniors with memory loss deserve not only the best in medical care, but also a nurturing environment that honors their individuality and life stories. The team at Ashley Manor expresses profound gratitude for the trust families place in them, treating every resident with the same level of commitment and compassion they would extend to their own loved ones.
