What this means for your family

Ashley Gardens is highly regarded for its compassionate memory care and supportive administrative staff, making it a strong candidate for families seeking a home-like environment. However, given the recent report regarding hygiene, we recommend that families conduct unannounced visits to observe daily care standards and ensure consistent oversight of their loved one's personal needs.

  • 4How does your administrative team stay involved and accessible to families who want to discuss their loved one's specific care needs?
  • 5In the event of a medical concern or emergency, what is your protocol for communicating with family members and coordinating with outside healthcare providers?

Key Review Excerpts

The residents are so well cared for... treated as if they are family. The atmosphere is homey and the food served is homemade in their kitchen.

Local Guide · 2020★★★★★

I am a private caregiver and I go see my lady 2 times a week, I am so happy she gets the care there, Sally jose, Annabelle and the gentleman med tech, I can't remember his name, are so kind. the place is clean, they are very inviting.

Private caregiver · 2025★★★★★

From the very first moment we connected with Ben Berger at Ashley Gardens, I knew my mom was in the right hands. Ben’s empathy, warmth, and genuine care for the people he works with made a deep and immediate impression on our family.
