Overview of Skylark Memory Care

Skylark Memory Care offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Ashland, OR. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care is a short stay for a resident whose usual caregiver needs time away, and having several care levels allows someone to move to memory care without leaving the community if needs grow.

The community has 32 beds. Secured walking paths and raised gardening beds give residents designated outdoor spaces for walking and gardening. Scheduled transportation covers appointments, shopping, and outings, so residents and families do not have to arrange each ride themselves. Hand prepared meals and snacks are served in a community dining room.

A Walk Score of 94 places the area in a walker’s paradise. Daily errands do not require a car, and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Assistance is available around the clock from resident assistants and medication aides, including medication support throughout the day and night.

Lisa Junod serves as the administrator, and Skylark Operating Group operates the community. Skylark Memory Care may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs a secured, supervised setting, or for a family seeking short term respite care.
