Emilia Assisted Living Home of Ashlawn is a residential care home equipped to manage a wide range of clinical needs. Residents with wandering tendencies, elopement risk, behavioral challenges, or advanced dementia are accepted, and the team can intervene if someone is up all night or becomes combative. Clinical staff handle wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetic management, whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale insulin. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site around the clock, with an additional nurse on call 24/7. On-site medical services include podiatry, audiology, dental care, and a therapy room, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric conditions. Full assistance is provided with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the staff can accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, one- or two-person transfers, Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound care.

Safety and oversight measures are layered. Background-checked staff remain awake overnight, complemented by 24-hour security and an activity director who helps structure the day. Both front and rear areas are fenced, doors are alarmed, and wander-guard systems are in place for residents at risk of exit-seeking. Emergency pull cords can alert staff or connect directly to 911, and personal emergency response systems offer the same dual options. These safeguards allow the team to focus on proactive monitoring and immediate response when needed.

Accommodation options range from furnished suites with private bathrooms to units that include kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and in-room laundry. Cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are standard, and residents may repaint or decorate their rooms subject to community guidelines. Because layouts and features vary, not every unit includes every amenity listed.

Dining follows a set menu with the option to order off-cycle meals, and snacks are available throughout the day. Meals can be taken in the main dining room, in a private dining room for family visits, or in residents’ rooms when desired. The kitchen supports gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets, along with other physician-directed diet modifications.

Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and outdoor smoking spaces. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, on-site religious services, stair glide, concierge desk, library, pool, and special-interest clubs. Internet access is available throughout the property, and transportation options include proximity to public transit, a community shuttle for medical appointments only, and a town-car service.
