My father is living in the Ashley Gardens Memory Care & Transitional Assisted Living right now and they have been awesome. He's been there for a little over a year now. The staff has been very attentive and it's one of the cleanest memory care places I've been in. They have a lot of activities for them as well, he enjoys the pet therapies with the cats and dogs. They do a lot of family activities, they had a Christmas program, a Hawaii-themed program where they do meals to bring the families in, and they do singing where everyone can get together. They also do normal stuff like bingo and arts and crafts. I haven't had any issues with the safety at all. When it comes to food, they have a Mediterranean-based diet.

Ashley Gardens was a beautiful place. They showed us the room where they meet and play games. They showed us the hallway where all the seniors kind of gather in and it looked nice. The staff during the tour was nice. The rooms are confusing though. It's like large, queen large, and super queen large, and his description of pricing was very ambiguous. Other than that, he was great at talking about the facility and talking about the length of time certain people have been there. The new CEO came out of her office and greeted us. The rooms were pretty large, and had big closets and high ceilings. They're just very expensive for what you get. It doesn't look like there's any place for them to go outside. There wasn't a courtyard. It seems a little bit dark on the inside. It's like a bar. It was really old with red cloth furnishings on the wall and stuff like that. It was very old school. They had a big room with a stage in it and chairs and high ceilings.

There wasn't much space in Ashley Gardens memory care for a memory person to walk around, at all, if you could do it. It also didn't seem to have too many activities for them to do. The residents are all out in one room and look like they should be in bed or they could fall over in a chair so I just didn't like that place.
It costs too much money for the studio apartment too and even if you get an apartment, you still have to share a bathroom with somebody, which I didn't think was fair. They want $5900 and you still have to share a bathroom.
The staff that assisted me during the tour was fine. It's just that the rest of the place was kind of depressing, to me. The staff was very friendly, they spoke to me, and everybody looked like they were doing their jobs. The neighborhood looked fine as well.

I visited Ashley Gardens in Charleston. It seems to have everything the residents needed for a memory care unit as well as the atmosphere to keep them comfortable in going through the rest of their time. The staff was very into making sure that my mom is going to be OK and safe, and they understand the needs of memory care. The outside looks basic, the inside is better. Everything that they need is in there, and it gives you a very homey feel.

Ashley Gardens is a respite and memory care center and it is absolutely amazing. The staff cared, was really dedicated, and the director was very easily accessed. She helped us with my mom's situation and she knew exactly what to do. She was amazing. Her room was lovely and spacious, and she had a large California queen bed. It was set up more like a hotel. Even the decorations on the wall were from older times. It felt very royal. They had bios of each person's life with a beautiful picture of them outside their door so you knew they were more than just elderly patients and that they did amazing things. They did a lot there. They went out to O'Charley's and they have a salon. The lady did wonderfully and she got all of my mom's cradle cap and she looked gorgeous. I saw her doing puzzles. She had a blast there. The food was really good. It's on the pricey side, but it is a great value. They had her therapies perfect, which included OT and PT.

I visited Ashley Gardens, and the environment was beautiful, open, and airy. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The residents can roam if they want to, and they have lots of activities to keep them engaged. My mom stayed there for respite care. They helped me step by step and walked me through the process of getting my mother there.

Ashley Gardens is too small. There are very few people in the dementia care. It's really a small group of people. No activities seem to be done in the dementia care. It just didn't seem really geared for the memory care population. It's really geared for the assisted living. I would not consider it a memory care facility.

Ashley Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a very nice place. It's open, airy, has double beds instead of twin beds, which is good, they've got very nice and clean semi-private and joint rooms, and they’ve got very good staff. They have good meals, and they’re still hiring people so they're going to be staffed up a little bit better. They had a bunch of people starting yesterday and so far, I'm very pleased with it. They have activities at least 3 or 4 times a day. They do word association for memory care, a lot of singing, Bingo, outings, arts and crafts, and chair exercise. The place is brand new, and my mom is staying there.

My relationship with Ashley Gardens is, of course, fairly short term considering that they only opened to residents this summer. This is the fourth facility my mother has been in and thus far I am very happy with the care she is receiving. I cannot speak for the rest of my family so these observations are totally my own.
Ashley Gardens is light and cheerful in all areas, including the rooms. There are different rooms for activities and several outdoor areas which seem very pleasant and safe. The dining room is pleasant and the food seems to be of good quality. The building is laid out in a circular nature, all hallways connected, and is very good for Alzheimer's patients who may wander and get confused about their location.
I have visited on different days and at varying times and always found adequate staff on duty. The staff is very interactive with both residents and family members and seem to be well trained. Planned activities seem well attended by staff and are of a nature that helps residents stay involved, such as making pizzas and banana pudding. Recently, I visited just before lunch and the staff brought my mother's lunch outside so we could have a picnic.
Placing a loved one in an assisted living facility is a difficult decision to make, but based on my experience with Ashley Gardens, residents are clean, happy and safe.

The rooms were small at Ashley Gardens, the closet space was smaller, and they didn’t have as much space to go out. The 1-bedroom unit was setup different. It felt like a home to me.
