Care from the heart.
Ashley House is a mission driven agency. We do our work because we believe every child deserves to live in an environment that allows him or her to live the best, fullest life possible.
Ashley House was created in 1989 by a small group of like-minded individuals who recognized that there was a gap in services available to medically fragile children and their families. Prior to the creation of Ashley House, medically fragile and complex children stayed in hospitals longer than necessary, resided in adult nursing homes or were placed out of state far away from their families.
When children with severe medical diagnoses leave the hospital, they often still need complex medical care. Ashley House provides transition between hospital and home for children who require complex care. At Ashley House a child can receive skilled nursing care while the family adjusts and prepares for their child’s homecoming at a much lower cost than if the child stayed in the hospital.
Our goal
The overall goal of the Ashley House program is to help families cope with crisis by providing a warm, caring environment in which they may learn how to meet the demands of their child’s disabilities and illness.
