Ashley Manor Arlington is dedicated to providing specialized memory care for individuals experiencing dementia and related memory loss conditions. The facility is part of an organization founded on the principle of caring for loved ones with the utmost dignity, respect, and kindness. The founders themselves were inspired to create Ashley Manor after seeking an exceptional level of care for their own family members and finding existing options lacking the quality and compassion they desired. This deeply personal origin is reflected in the home-like environment and the thoughtful, individualized approach to every resident’s well-being.
Life at Ashley Manor Arlington is designed to foster peace, comfort, and familiarity. The residences are intentionally small and home-like, supporting a comforting atmosphere with less confusion for seniors navigating memory challenges. Unique architectural features such as circular walking paths gently guide residents back to their starting point, reducing anxiety and the fear that often accompanies memory loss. Memory boxes placed by each suite offer personalized visual cues, helping each resident maintain a sense of identity and continuity in daily life.
Every aspect of care at Ashley Manor Arlington is informed by a philosophy that recognizes the uniqueness of each resident. The professional care team is committed to delivering personalized support, using evidence-based sensory therapies to enhance quality of life and manage memory-related behaviors compassionately. Aroma therapy, employing a proprietary blend of calming oils, helps ease depression and mitigate agitation. Music therapy incorporates carefully selected tunes with appropriate rhythms and beats to promote a peaceful environment. Light therapy mimics natural sunlight within the facility, which aids in reducing agitation commonly associated with “Sundowners,” boosts energy, and helps normalize sleep patterns.
To further support cognitive function and emotional well-being, Ashley Manor Arlington offers reminiscence therapy, an engaging program that stimulates the mind and encourages residents to maintain their memories for as long as possible. Hydration therapy is another integral offering, supporting overall health by reducing the risks of infection, minimizing skin issues, improving balance, and contributing to a more positive mood. The care team also creates customized activities to keep bodies and minds active, adding meaning and enjoyment to each day.
The staff at Ashley Manor Arlington understands the emotional journey faced by families navigating dementia care. With an experienced and empathetic team, the facility is committed to supporting both residents and their loved ones throughout each stage of memory loss. By blending innovative therapies, a supportive environment, and individualized attention, Ashley Manor Arlington strives to provide a standard of care that honors the dignity and unique needs of every person entrusted to their care.
