Ashley Gardens of Mt. Vernon

A team trained to understand all stages of memory loss provides specialized memory programming and support, through the Mosaic Memory Care Program.

Each neighborhood is small enough for care teams to get to know residents, and the design lets residents move freely while staying close to staff.

Respite care offers short-term stays for families who are going on vacation or need a temporary break from caregiving.

Care is available around the clock, and an associate greets residents each morning to help them start their day.

Residents live in memory care apartments within four neighborhoods of 10 residences each, in two cottage-style communities.

Days begin with a freshly prepared breakfast and continue with planned activities designed to encourage engagement and connection; families often share lunch and dinner with their loved ones.

Freshly made breakfast, lunch and dinner are served family style from an open kitchen, so residents can enjoy the familiar sights, sounds and aromas of meal preparation.

The EverDine program offers à la carte menus with a choice of what, when and where to eat, and special diets are accommodated, with anytime snacks available.

Activities may include a country drive through the Skagit Valley, group puzzle events, cooking or baking demonstrations, art projects and community movies.

The community also offers weekly entertainment, personalized entertainment, safe outings, fitness classes and wellness programs.

Featured amenities include a fitness center, landscaped grounds and community spaces, with warm colors, cozy indoor spaces and inviting outdoor areas.

Ashley Gardens is in a residential neighborhood of Mount Vernon, the county seat of Skagit County, with Bakerview Park, Lincoln Theater and Tulip Town among the nearby places.
