Ashley Manor Senior Living

Ashley Manor Senior Living is a senior community in Baker City, Oregon, with other locations in Oregon and Idaho, that gives a comfortable and home-like setting for people needing different levels of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, and long-term care. The facility focuses on supporting people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, using secure buildings, brain-challenging activities, and trained staff to help prevent wandering and reduce confusion, while there are private and semi-private suites with their own furnishings and phone access, all in a quiet property location. Residents get three home-cooked meals each day, plus snacks, and the staff can prepare meals for those who need diabetic or allergy-friendly diets, and the dining room even offers all-day dining choices. There's staff on-site all day and night with 24-hour on-call nursing, and care plans are made around each resident, so support fits each person, and the staff helps with medication, bathing, dressing, moving from one place to another, oxygen support, behavior management, and incontinence needs. The buildings are wheelchair-friendly and have modern alarm systems, while there's a beauty salon, laundry and housekeeping, and a range of activities like movie nights, field trips, and gardening, and an activity director plans schedules so everyone has something to do together, giving people both social time and ways to feel at ease. The secured backyards have walking paths and patios, making it safe for those who like to be outside, and the facility keeps a peaceful and friendly atmosphere, which many people find comforting. Residents can join in on trips, community-sponsored events, and daily activities that are meant to promote friendships and social engagement, and there are full-time aides who give non-medical home care, as well as respite care for families needing short-term help. Staff receive special training to care for memory issues and follow a motto, "Making the present as meaningful as the past," to show that they aim for compassionate and respectful care. The facility is verified to meet quality standards and is associated with the National Center for Assisted Living, and it's won awards like Best of Senior Living. There's a newsletter and a Resource Center with information to help families learn more, and tours are available for those wanting to visit before making a decision. The whole community puts focus on keeping people as independent and comfortable as possible, with amenities and services planned for dignity, safety, privacy, and personal choice.
