Ashley Gardens of Mount Vernon delivers dedicated Memory Care for residents experiencing any stage of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The clinical team is equipped to address wandering behaviors at all hours, elopement risks, combative episodes, behavioral concerns, overnight wakefulness, and specialized medical needs such as wound care and oxygen therapy. Staff members support residents who require special diets, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes through oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens.

Registered and licensed nurses are on site, and a nurse remains on call 24/7. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help spans walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, one-person and two-person transfers, and full Hoyer-lift support. The building maintains around-the-clock staffed security, fenced outdoor space, alarmed doors, and pull-cord alert systems. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric conditions, coordinating services as needed.

Accommodations include options with independent temperature controls, cable service, and routine housekeeping, though not every apartment offers every feature. Families can select the layout that best suits their loved one’s mobility and supervision needs, and maintenance is handled by on-site staff.

Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary team, with snacks offered throughout the day. Diet modifications and texture management are available to meet physician orders and support diabetic, cardiac, or other specialized nutritional plans.

Common spaces are fully wheelchair accessible and feature a movie room for group viewings and communal gardens for supervised outdoor time.
