Ashley Manor Senior Living opened its doors back in 2007 and sits at 557 W Washington St, Burns, Oregon, where it serves up to six seniors in a small, home-like setting that feels safe and warm, which many folks find comforting as the place is run under Oregon's Department of Social Services, and people seem to like that it holds a verified community score of 4.8. This community is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means seniors can find all sorts of help as their needs change, whether that's assisted living, independent living, memory care, hospice, respite care, or even skilled nursing and home health services. The care team supports things like bathing, dressing, and medication management around the clock, while personalized care plans try to meet the changing needs for physical, mental, and emotional health, especially for those dealing with memory loss or issues needing specialized memory care.
Ashley Manor has rooms that come furnished, with emergency alert systems, and common spaces like dining rooms, a book room, salon, game areas, and outdoor walking paths and gardens, and the grounds are kept landscaped and tidy, so folks can enjoy the fresh air or simple strolls. Meals are cooked on site and the kitchen staff tries to work with special diets for diabetes, high blood pressure, and allergies, so most everybody can find something that fits their requirements. There are scheduled group meals, movie nights, music programs, creative classes, exercise options, pet therapy, music therapy, and game nights, while the team helps coordinate rides for doctor visits, errands, faith-based services, and has a mobile barber or hairdresser come by when needed, which can be a relief, and there's always social and recreational time planned as well.
Some extra services include laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping, and there's hands-on help for those who have trouble with getting around, use mobility aids, or need assistance transferring from bed to chair or with incontinence care. It's pet-friendly, so residents can usually bring small pets, and the staff leans into keeping everyone as independent and active as possible, letting each person keep some control over daily life. Specialized support exists for those with memory loss, and the facility connects with outside healthcare providers for appointments and acute needs, including behavioral health, clinical labs, imaging, therapy, and even pain clinics or infusions when required, drawing on a network that stretches from basic care to specialty medical services.
People living here or their families can reach out on social media, look at photos online, or grab a brochure, all of which help give a feel for what the place is like, and tours are pretty easy to arrange for anyone wanting to see it. There's a community newsletter and resources for families, including support groups and guides for choosing the right place, and being associated with the National Center for Assisted Living brings in another layer of experience. Ashley Manor Senior Living aims to give seniors a daily life filled with some activity, community spirit, and dependable support, so those who need help don't feel left out or forgotten as the years go by.
