ASHLEY GARDENS ALZHEIMER'S SPECIAL CARE CENTER

I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah while touring this community. The community was clean, the food was amazing. Definitely check this community out!

The Ashely Gardens Team goes above and beyond, from the love and compassion shown to the residents to the cleanliness of the community. The activities keep the residents engaged throughout the day and make sure there’s involvement for everyone. It truly is the best around!

We were having a hard time with the facility we placed a loved one at. We went to tour Ashley Gardens with high hopes. Seems like they don’t do that much with the residents which was the first red flag. The residents were all slumped over in chairs and seemed to not be doing much at all. After going against my better judgment, because I thought they might have decent care there I decided to see if it could be a good match . They went and did an assessment at the other facility our family member was at and came back basically stating they couldn’t take them because of the information they received which was definitely a bias opinion (hence why we were looking for a new facility). They couldn’t see that it might not actually be the patient but the level of care the other facility was providing, but the way the lady who did the assessment came back and spoke about our loved one after was absolutely inexcusable. They seemed to have no compassion for a hard situation or even that this was a human they were talking about. I’m honestly so glad it didn’t work out because the place we did end up placing our loved one at could see through all this and the residents there actually looked happy to be there. Just tour this outdated facility and you will see what I’m talking about.

We moved our dad to Ashley Gardens from another facility and he made Ashley Gardens his home for a year. Ashley Gardens became his home thanks to the amazing caregivers who loved him and treated him like family. No memory care facility is perfect, but Ashley Gardens was perfect for him. The caregivers at Ashley Gardens truly know how to love and provide care in a respectful way allowing their residents to maintain their dignity. At Ashley Gardens, our dad and our family developed a meaningful relationship with all of the employees. During our time visiting dad, we witnessed employees treat every resident with the same care that they showed our dad. The end of my dad’s life was traumatic for us, but the staff at Ashley Gardens supported our dad and us every step of the way. Here are a few reasons why Ashley Gardens was the best place for our dad: 1) Caring staff-from the welcome at the door to the kitchen staff to the caregivers-he was loved throughout this day. ***Staff was fully present and not glued to their cell phones like in other facilities 2) Activities: Ashley Gardens provides a nice balance of activities for all residents. From volleyball to sing alongs to crafts, there was something for everyone to enjoy. 4) Balanced meals that he enjoyed in a dining room with silverware, real plates and a “no beer” if he desired. He sat at an assigned table ensuring he always had friends to dine with. (In a previous facility, he often ate alone and he was lucky to get a plastic fork) 4) Fox Rehab staff who were present almost daily and worked hard to take care of dad’s physical, speech and occupational needs. 5) The facility-the facility is open and goes in a big circle. Dad was able to walk laps and stop and say hello to friends along the way. The facility is fully staffed 24 hours/day and we were always comforted knowing that he had support whenever he needed it.

My wife of 50 years has dementia and requires full time care. After 7 months there she is happy and content. She is always clean and well dressed when I visit. Her room and bath, as well as the entire facility is always immaculately clean. Her clothes are laundered regularly, and always neatly arranged in her closet. She loves the food. Kudos to the Executive Chef! The health care staff is very professional and coordinate all visits with her medical professionals and therapist. Finally the entire staff is wonderful! They seem to love my wife and treat her (and me when I visit) like a member of their immediate family. The directors have been tremendously supportive to me from day one and regularly send me photos and videos showing my wife enjoying the activities. I consider them not just business associates, but friends. Ashley Gardens greatly exceeds my expectations.
