Ashley Manor Memory Care is a small, residential home set up for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other memory challenges, and it's all in its own building that's separate and secure to keep folks safe from wandering, and they went so far as to put things like alarm bracelets and locked patios in place, plus memory boxes out front of every suite so people can feel more comfortable and find their own rooms, and you'll find 16 private or semi-private rooms where small pets are allowed as well. The staff's known as being friendly, joyful, and really treats everyone kindly, they're trained in everything from dementia care to helping folks with big behavior problems and transfers, and a nurse is always on staff for health support, medication help-including giving insulin-and diabetic care, with care levels that go all the way from helping with the basics like bathing and getting dressed to high-acuity and hospice services, and they'll even provide oxygen and home health in addition to incontinence support and reminders to use the bathroom.
The building is wheel-chair accessible, with indoor and outdoor areas like a secured courtyard, garden paths, and patios where you can safely walk, sit, or join in on activities every day like arts, crafts, or movie nights, and rooms come with things like showers, call buttons for help, and the safety features you need if you have trouble with walking or memory. There are activities all day to fit each resident's needs and abilities, using sensory therapies-like aroma, music, light, and even reminiscence therapy-and they do things that help with cognition, social connection, and mobility, trying hard to keep minds and bodies moving. If someone only needs a short stay, like after a surgery or when the main caregiver needs a break, Ashley Manor offers respite care or an adult day program, and there's Medicaid and all-inclusive pricing so residents and families know what to expect with costs.
Meals here are cooked on-site three times a day using nutritious and quality ingredients, snacks are available, and they take care of cleaning, laundry, and transportation if you need to get to the doctor, with access to community events and group social opportunities. Residents can pick private or shared rooms, and each care plan and activity is matched to their memory needs, with staff ready at any hour for support, whether it's something simple or a sudden medical concern-every suite and hallway has emergency systems and trained help nearby. There's a true sense of home in this cozy, bright place, and even though no place is perfect, folks say the meals and activities stand out, the staff earns trust as people who treat you with dignity, and the setting feels loving with lots of attention focused on keeping each day as safe, lively, and easy as possible for those who call Ashley Manor Memory Care home.
