Ashley Woods in Penfield, NY, provides Assisted Living and Memory Care programs that address both daily support needs and moderate dementia conditions. Medical oversight covers residents with behavioral issues, those who are up all night, and individuals requiring oxygen therapy. Diabetic residents—whether managed with oral medications or insulin injections—receive monitoring and medication administration as needed. The community’s Memory Care component is designed to manage cognitive changes while maintaining safety and dignity.
Around-the-clock clinical staffing supports these medical services. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift ensures continual monitoring. Safety features include fenced front areas, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site podiatry and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for off-site appointments. Residents can receive some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, as well as standby supervision at meals. Mobility aid is available for walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or one-person transfers, ensuring residents can move safely throughout the building. An activity director coordinates daily programs suited to each resident’s abilities and care level.
Suites at Ashley Woods may include a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, with housekeeping provided. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation contains every listed feature; confirming specifics during a tour is recommended. Rooms are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and emergency call systems tie directly into the staff alert network.
Dining focuses on balanced nutrition with menu choices that fit individual health plans, including diabetic-friendly options. Three meals are served daily in the communal dining room, and snacks are available between meals. Staff offer standby supervision for residents who need cueing or minimal assistance during mealtimes.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, library, concierge services, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the property is close to public transit for family visits or personal outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
