The Inn at Ashland Woods is an assisted-living community that provides round-the-clock help with activities of daily living, routine wellness checks, and coordination with outside healthcare providers. Residents receive support with personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, and mobility while licensed staff manage medications and monitor overall health. The care team is on site at all hours, so planned and unplanned needs can be met promptly.
For residents who need a shorter stay, the community offers respite and other short-term arrangements that include the same level of attention given to long-term residents. Diabetes management is available and includes blood-glucose monitoring, dietary oversight, and coordination with physicians to adjust treatment plans. The staff can accommodate changing care requirements, making it possible for residents to remain on campus as needs evolve.
Apartments and common areas are designed to balance independence and accessibility. Floor plans vary; some suites include private baths, kitchenettes, central fireplaces, or ground-floor access, while others feature wheelchair-accessible showers, bath tubs, or air conditioning. Residents have access to indoor common areas such as a library, meeting room, computer center, and TV lounge, as well as outdoor patios and other shared spaces. Not all accommodations contain every listed feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to review specific units during a tour.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals served restaurant-style, with room service and guest meals available if desired. Menu options cover low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian diets, and the culinary team can adjust recipes to meet individualized nutrition plans. A café-bistro, bar area, and designated private dining room provide alternative settings, and seasonal BBQs or picnics are scheduled when weather permits. Special dining programs are in place to align meal plans with physician-ordered dietary requirements.
Residents can choose from a wide range of on-site and off-site activities. The community hosts regular arts and crafts sessions, art classes, quilting groups, and a dedicated arts & crafts center. Entertainment includes movie nights in the theater room, live music, live dance or theater performances, resident musicians, and Wii bowling tournaments. Wellness offerings feature stretching classes, a fitness center, walking club, light therapy programs, and sensory-based exercises. Intellectual engagement is supported through trivia games, educational speakers, Bible study, Montessori programs, and reminiscence sessions. Social events such as happy hours, wine tastings, birthday and holiday parties, cooking classes, and organized day trips keep residents connected to peers and the broader community.
