Ashley Manor - Irma is a senior living community in Northglenn, CO, that offers assisted living, memory care, and board and care home services for older adults, and, well, there are only about 6 assisted living units in a small, home-like setting, though the company has a much bigger assisted living building in Boise that's licensed for 70, and they've got kitchens right in the middle of those houses so everything feels a little more like home, and you usually see people in private or semi-private rooms, or small studios, or even 1-bedroom spots depending on the house, and there are shared living quarters too if you want them. The staff are known to be joyful, helpful, and pretty friendly, and they help people with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, taking medication, and eating, and, if someone has trouble feeding themselves, the staff will help with spoon feeding, plus they've got experience with care for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, memory loss, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, incontinence, and other special care needs, so those folks can stay as safe and comfortable as possible, and they watch over everyone 24 hours a day, with nurses on call and high-tech emergency alert systems in every room.
There's respite care for folks who need a break from caregiving, and hospice services too, if you ever need them. They put a lot of stock into specialized programs for memory care, with memory-enhancing activities and therapy, and there are circular outdoor walkways and secured backyards for folks who need a safe place to walk and enjoy the quiet gardens and patios without wandering off. They've always got three hot meals a day planned by dietitians and prepared by cooks, and you can get snacks, and there are special diets, with individual dining assistance if you need help eating, and all that is included in the cost, so you won't get a surprise bill for every little thing.
There's a community kitchen for everyone, a dining room, a cafe, and, well, a big communal area for activities because they want people to be active and spend time together, whether that's through games, crafts, or social gatherings meant to help folks stay connected. Housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and even vacuuming and dusting get taken care of, and if you use oxygen, or need help moving around, they've got staff trained for that, with ambulation services and wheel-chair accessible building features.
For fun or peace and quiet, they've got a courtyard, tranquil walking paths, parking spaces for visitors, and an extensive library, which some folks really look forward to, though others just enjoy having their pets around, since small pets are allowed. There's massage therapy, wellness programs, and even transportation to take people to appointments or shopping.
