The Inn at Ashland Woods gives seniors a place to live with both assisted living and memory care services, so you'll find folks there who need just a bit of help with daily life, as well as some people with Alzheimer's or dementia who need more supervision and attention, and the staff gets described as caring, friendly, and professional, which seems important since a lot of residents count on them for help with bathing, dressing, or taking medicines on time. It's set up as a single-floor community, which makes it easier to get around, especially for anyone who might have trouble walking, and there's always staff on-site-nursing care hours run about 12 to 16 hours a day, but there's 24-hour supervision and an emergency call system if help's ever needed, which gives a kind of peace of mind. The building has common areas that invite people to sit and chat or join activities, plus there's a dining room for shared meals that can turn daily routines into social time, and private suites are set up for comfort and privacy.
In the memory care part, there are tailored programs and activities made for folks with mild cognitive trouble or more severe memory problems, including those with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias-this helps keep things structured and familiar, and there are staff members who know how to support and encourage each person as needed, with extra safety precautions in place all the time. For adults who don't need much help, the facility offers independent living too, with meals, activities, and transportation provided, and all the rooms and common spaces include usual comforts like cable TV, high-speed internet, and utilities.
You'll find activity programs throughout the week, like fitness classes, music sessions, movies, and even some run by the residents themselves, so there's always a way to stay busy or connected with others, and there are landscaped gardens and walking paths outside for folks who enjoy fresh air or a bit of a stroll here and there. Meals come three times a day, planned by chefs or meal planners, and the overall approach is to encourage as much independence as possible, with everyone getting personalized care based on what their doctor and family agree on, so routines and needs can be met on an individual basis. There's transportation for appointments or outings, and the facility works with health care providers to stay on top of any changes in health or care needs, offering a full span of help from home care, assisted living, memory care, and on-site nursing for people who might require more skilled care as time goes on.
The Inn at Ashland Woods supports older adults across Ashland County, including Ashland, Hayesville, Loudonville, Savannah, and Perrysville, and it is set up as a Medicaid Waiver provider through the Ohio Department of Aging, even though the assisted living waiver program isn't taking new people unless they've lived there at least two years, so it's worth checking on options for funding care like insurance, veterans benefits, or Medicaid. There's a strong focus on making residents feel at home, promoting choices, friendly relationships, and activities where everyone can participate as much as they like, all inside a community that's both quiet and lively depending on the time of day, and virtual tours are available for those who want a look before deciding. The facility aims to help older adults stay safe, comfortable, active, and as independent as possible while giving the kind of support each person needs, and there's always a team of helpful staff to guide, assist, or just stop for a friendly chat.
