What this means for your family

Ashley Woods appears to be a strong option for seniors seeking an active, independent lifestyle with social support. However, if your loved one requires specialized memory care, proceed with caution and ask management directly about their specific training and clinical capabilities, as there are concerns regarding their suitability for advanced memory disorders.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1With your focus on resident independence, how do you balance that freedom with the need for extra support if a resident's cognitive health begins to decline?
  • 2I noticed your active social calendar; could you walk me through a few of the most popular activities that residents here look forward to each week?
  • 3Since you have a smaller community of 30 residents, how do you ensure that staff are specifically trained to handle the nuances of memory care needs as they arise?
  • 4I saw that you engage with feedback online; how do you typically incorporate suggestions from families to improve the daily experience for residents?
  • 5How does your team coordinate with outside medical providers to ensure residents receive specialized care if their health needs change?
  • 6Given the focus on relieving residents of daily chores like cleaning and laundry, what is the process for ensuring these services are personalized to each resident's preferences?

Key Review Excerpts

Rather than limiting their independence or “taking it away” I would say that their independence has increased, as they now have the energy to participate in the things they enjoy as opposed to all their energy going to sustaining life in their home!

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

Mom had really blossomed since moving to Ashley Woods. She has residents to interact with at meals and activities, and she loves going to all the daily activities.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

They do not have the ability to provide a safe environment for people that have actual memory disorders and can not care for them with the love, compassion, and respect that they deserve.
