Ashley Manor - Parkview Drive specializes in providing memory care and support for individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by both residents and their families, the team at Ashley Manor approaches care with sensitivity, respect, and a deep understanding of the effects of memory loss. The facility is dedicated to supporting residents through various stages of dementia, acknowledging the emotional complexities that accompany the progression of these conditions. Anger, frustration, and behavioral changes are met with empathy and professional guidance, helping families navigate these new circumstances with compassion.
At the heart of Ashley Manor - Parkview Drive is the belief that every resident is unique and deserves to be treated with dignity, kindness, and the utmost respect. The facility prides itself on small, homelike environments designed to foster comfort and familiarity. Architectural features, such as circular walking paths and personalized memory boxes placed outside each suite, are thoughtfully implemented to minimize confusion and foster a sense of security. These details help ease transitions and encourage independence, making daily activities less overwhelming for residents.
Central to the care philosophy at Ashley Manor - Parkview Drive is an array of specialized sensory therapies. The community incorporates aroma therapy with proprietary blends of essential oils to create calming environments and help alleviate depression. Music therapy is also used, carefully curated to cater to resident preferences and designed to encourage relaxation and well-being. Light therapy plays a crucial role, using lighting that mimics natural sunlight. This not only combats the symptoms of ‘Sundowners’ syndrome but also helps improve residents’ energy and sleep patterns.
Reminiscence therapy is another fundamental component, focusing on slowing memory decline by exercising and stimulating the brain. The caregiving team engages residents through customized activities to keep both mind and body active, which adds to their life’s meaning and fulfillment. Hydration therapy is consistently practiced, promoting better health by supporting balance, reducing infections, minimizing skin issues, and encouraging positive behaviors.
The origins of Ashley Manor - Parkview Drive are rooted in personal experience, as the founders sought a level of care for their loved ones that wasn’t available elsewhere.

Families who choose Ashley Manor find not only professional expertise but also a warm, home-like setting filled with attentive staff who are passionate about making each day as peaceful and purposeful as possible for their residents.
