The Glenwood of Gainesville

Steve

My mom is a resident. It is close to my house. The rooms are big, and the people are nice. The services available are cleaning, nursing, activities, and monitoring. They have a hair salon. They have a coffee and fruit area, and they have cookies, too. I think they're doing a great job. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. However, the meals seem cafeteria-style in quality.

My sister has been here for two and a half weeks now. She was very happy to move in there. The staff are very welcoming. They try to keep it feeling like family there. They have doctors and a nurse on a regular basis. The meals are good. They have a lot of activities, which is what we needed for my sister. The rooms are nice and adequate in size. No shared rooms. They would arrange to have therapists come in. It's a pleasant place with trees and flowers. It's clean. It's a good place for my sister to be. The price compared to other Gainesville places is good. There's the convenience of having the hospitals and doctors right there in case needed. They will transport my sister as needed to her doctor's appointments. They provide complimentary transportation, and so I like that, and that's why she is there. Right now, they're preparing for a big Halloween party. They've decorated the front of the building, which is the porch area. A lot of residents sit out on that front porch and observe things. Another plus is that pets are allowed. People will take their pets out front just to sit with them. There's also an inside courtyard area for exercising them.

We chose here for my relatives because they were very accommodating to some special requests that I was making. The staff is very professional, very polite, and very good with the residents. It's a beautiful facility. There is a courtyard, a beauty salon, a gym, and a therapy room. There are daily activities, too.

I liked it. Lauren was very helpful. It was nice and clean. We went over the different types of care, and memory care was probably the best for my wife. They would have taken me gradually to the other sections, but we stayed with the memory care and it looked very good in what they had to offer. The rooms were plenty big and nice. We're going to end up bringing our own furniture only because we have it. The staff all seemed to be very friendly. They have scheduled things that they do throughout the day. I did see several residents out doing various things.

It seemed open, airy, and friendly. The residents were out in the courtyard, and others were watching TV. It's probably getting close to lunchtime, so I guess many of them were in their rooms at that moment, but there seemed to be some activity. They have a coffee breakfast, they serve lunch and dinner, and they have a specific one where you can request other food. They have several games, movies, and different activities. The staff was great. The menu looked lovely. They had a garden and an outdoor sitting place, and there were some residents out there. You can visit out there or you can sit out there. It was a great facility, and it was clean.

I just did a walkthrough, but it looked very nice, and it looked very promising, and that would be where I would probably want Mom to go. Everyone was very welcoming. The facilities looked very clean. There were clients sitting out front in rocking chairs, greeting us as we walked in, and they all seemed to be very happy. The rooms looked nice, and all of the rooms where they do their activities and whatnot looked nice. It appeared to be a good facility. They seemed to have quite a few activities for the clients that lived there. They have a bus available, hairdressers come in, and they show movies. They had a popcorn room, a big activities room, and a nice big courtyard where they have beautiful flowers. They can have a pet. It all seemed really nice. The staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
