  • Great facility

    My Mother was admitted to Glen Oaks a month ago as Hospice wanted her to have a higher level of care. We are VERY happy with Glen Oaks. Workers speak when you walk in, RN is very caring and actually feeds residents HERSELF as do other workers. They have planned activities and do not let residents sit all day. Mom is eating, so presume food is very satisfying. Workers have mom clean and her hair done every day.

  • My mom never wants to leave

    Glen Oaks has been absolutely amazing. We chose this facility because of the staff, I toured 10-12 dementia units in our area and I always kept coming back to Glen Oaks. The staff and their interaction with the residents was amazing. I also took my mom here before she moved in and she absolutely loved it. They have been doing zoom visits, so they do offer that with your family member which are absolutely wonderful. They are doing everything they can to still keep you in contact and you can call at anytime. My mom since this has never been locked in a room, sequestered away, they have not had any cases in the facility. They have a big courtyard and when it was nice out, they had family members come out and participate in activities with their loved ones. They just have TONS of activities and my mom is always busy doing something.

  • friendly safe environment for our mom

    They are so good with memory care patients, They allow them to do what they want instead of trying to stop their behaviors. The rooms are nice but they do have a couple of room options I have already recommended this community.
