Ashley Manor Memory Care

Ashley Manor Memory Care offers assisted living, independent living, and specialized memory care for seniors dealing with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, and while they do provide a homelike environment that's designed to make residents feel comfortable and safe, the place actually has a secured memory care building with high-tech alarm systems, wander alert bracelets, and a landscaped backyard with secure walking paths and patios, so families don't have to worry as much about loved ones wandering off or getting lost, and there are cozy private or semi-private suites that all have wheelchair access, a dining room, accessible common areas, a telephone in each room, and furnished rooms for comfort and ease. There's a real focus on personalized care, which means they try to meet each resident's needs with individual care plans, daily reminders or help for things like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, medication management, standby transfers, and behavioral support for those who show symptoms like exit seeking or signs of confusion, and caring staff-including a house manager and 24-hour nursing assistance-are always around to supervise and help. Ashley Manor also offers high acuity care, insulin management, blood sugar monitoring, incontinence care, housekeeping, meal prep that includes special dietary needs, laundry and linen services, and help with moving in, while a full calendar of social, educational, and recreational activities-like movie nights and garden walks-give residents a chance to stay active and connect with others. The facility really values keeping things routine yet fresh, scheduling tours for families who want to see the place and meet staff and residents, and placing memory boxes by each suite and using circular walking paths to reduce fear and confusion. Therapies like Reminiscence, Hydration, Aroma and Light Therapy as well as sensory programs and music help with things like Sundowners and behavioral symptoms, since the goal is to make sure everyone feels respected, safe, and loved, and staff get ongoing memory care education. Ashley Manor keeps things simple so families don't have to worry about day-to-day care, and families can use their Resource Center and support groups for extra help as they decide what's best for their loved ones.
