Glen Carr House Memory Care

It was heartbreaking when my mother developed dementia. I had to learn a lot about how to care for her. Watching the way the staff at Glen Carr helped Mom was a lesson in itself. They walked with us through this difficult experience to the end. The facility is homey and beautiful. The open layout works well for people who might easily get lost. I would recommend Glen Carr to anyone looking for a safe and caring home for a loved one.

Glen Carr House Memory Care is set up to be more like family-style. It has just 14 people in each building instead of a bunch of people in there. There are four buildings. They have activities, and each building has different activities. They hold church services. They have barbecues and picnics outside. When it's nice for the holidays, we can go and have the holiday with them out on the patios. There's one staff member for every seven residents. Another thing I liked about it is that if my mom makes friends with somebody in another building and an opening comes up in that building, she can move to a different building to be with her friend. They have bingo, crafts, and story time where they're read to. There's like a long breakfast bar that sits in front of it, so they could talk to the people they're cooking for. If they don't like what they're serving, they can make them an alternative meal. The majority of the rooms are single. You can bring in up to a double-size bed. There's no closet. The bathroom is big, and there's no step to the shower. The staff members are pretty nice. You have a key code to get in, and you can't leave without the key code to get out.

We chose Glen Carr House Memory Care for my mother. They do a lot of games, word searches, memory recognition, and outings. It's a nine-bed unit, so they get more one-on-one attention than they would normally in a nursing home. So far, we're very pleased with them. She's been there a little over 30 days. They have a doctor on-site or a PA on-site, so if they have a fall, there's someone right there to assess them. They have a doctor that they see every Thursday. They have a clinic as most of these patients do have orthopedic issues. They're just really expensive.
