Ashley Gardens is a respite and memory care center and it is absolutely amazing. The staff cared, was really dedicated, and the director was very easily accessed. She helped us with my mom's situation and she knew exactly what to do. She was amazing. Her room was lovely and spacious, and she had a large California queen bed. It was set up more like a hotel. Even the decorations on the wall were from older times. It felt very royal. They had bios of each person's life with a beautiful picture of them outside their door so you knew they were more than just elderly patients and that they did amazing things. They did a lot there. They went out to O'Charley's and they have a salon. The lady did wonderfully and she got all of my mom's cradle cap and she looked gorgeous. I saw her doing puzzles. She had a blast there. The food was really good. It's on the pricey side, but it is a great value. They had her therapies perfect, which included OT and PT.

I visited Ashley Gardens, and the environment was beautiful, open, and airy. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The residents can roam if they want to, and they have lots of activities to keep them engaged. My mom stayed there for respite care. They helped me step by step and walked me through the process of getting my mother there.

Ashley Gardens is too small. There are very few people in the dementia care. It's really a small group of people. No activities seem to be done in the dementia care. It just didn't seem really geared for the memory care population. It's really geared for the assisted living. I would not consider it a memory care facility.

Ashley Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a very nice place. It's open, airy, has double beds instead of twin beds, which is good, they've got very nice and clean semi-private and joint rooms, and they’ve got very good staff. They have good meals, and they’re still hiring people so they're going to be staffed up a little bit better. They had a bunch of people starting yesterday and so far, I'm very pleased with it. They have activities at least 3 or 4 times a day. They do word association for memory care, a lot of singing, Bingo, outings, arts and crafts, and chair exercise. The place is brand new, and my mom is staying there.

My relationship with Ashley Gardens is, of course, fairly short term considering that they only opened to residents this summer. This is the fourth facility my mother has been in and thus far I am very happy with the care she is receiving. I cannot speak for the rest of my family so these observations are totally my own.
Ashley Gardens is light and cheerful in all areas, including the rooms. There are different rooms for activities and several outdoor areas which seem very pleasant and safe. The dining room is pleasant and the food seems to be of good quality. The building is laid out in a circular nature, all hallways connected, and is very good for Alzheimer's patients who may wander and get confused about their location.
I have visited on different days and at varying times and always found adequate staff on duty. The staff is very interactive with both residents and family members and seem to be well trained. Planned activities seem well attended by staff and are of a nature that helps residents stay involved, such as making pizzas and banana pudding. Recently, I visited just before lunch and the staff brought my mother's lunch outside so we could have a picnic.
Placing a loved one in an assisted living facility is a difficult decision to make, but based on my experience with Ashley Gardens, residents are clean, happy and safe.

The rooms were small at Ashley Gardens, the closet space was smaller, and they didn’t have as much space to go out. The 1-bedroom unit was setup different. It felt like a home to me.
