Glen Ridge Nursing Care Center

Majority of workers are not qualified to care for elderly. Food is inadequate and often inappropriate for most . Neglected and often humiliated and degraded for what they cannot help. I feel like I need to be there everyday all day And I can’t. This is an all for money , uncaring fascility!

I just want to say it was a hard decision to make when your parents can't care for themselves. We as adult children have taken on the roll as there parent. So when we're faced with the decision to place them in a suitable nursing home this is the place. I have visited many nursing homes for my dad. My brother and I looked at 10 when we looked at this place almost 2yrs ago I felt like home the staff are wonderful my dad is in Oak Grove this year was a trying year for all of us. The staff did an awesome job of informing me on everything that is going on. You never see anyone sitting in the hall ways. There in groups like art music tv. I have met some of the residents there they seem generally happy. I have to hand it to them doing that kind of work taking care of our loved ones is not easy especially this year. To that I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Can't wait to see the staff I miss them.

Genisis has been in touch, I hope the results of my communication are good. Giving best care to folks at Glen Ridge. Medford. All I want. My Aunt not crying on the phone. Again. It is very easy for folks to get lax in their attention to patients. But they deserve the best.: the patients. Adquate staff always. Attentive staff always and decent edible food. And clean and positive environment. For me my experiance this year was superior.

Nursing home care will never be perfect... staff will always be overworked, food will not be as good as homecooked. It is hard to give anyplace 5 stars simply because it is not home nor is it a hotel. But I have been pleasantly surprised at how well my aunt has been taken care of here at Glen Ridge. She is always dressed and cleaned up when I stop in. She and other patients are not all sitting in their rooms by themselves, they are down in the community room. Every time I have called to speak to staff about a concern my calls have been answered to my satisfaction. And my aunt is thriving compared to how she was doing at home. I have been very happy with the facility and care she has had and would and have recommended it to others when the option to be cared for at home is not available.

Glen Ridge was absolutely beautiful. I did see it a year ago in preparation, and I felt like it was a five-star hotel. It was just gorgeous; the grounds were nice when you arrive. The greeting person -- the intake officer -- wasn't as nice though as the others that I have met since then, but the whole building itself was really lovely, and the facilities looked very well-maintained, modern, and clean. I went to the secured floor for the dementia unit residents, and it was a really nice setting. It goes around and around, so that if anybody does like to walk and wander, they walk around and around, so there is no getting lost down another hallway or a corridor or turning corners that don't lead you back to where you belong, and so I thought of that as really nicely laid-out. The rooms were lovely, and you can bring your own furniture. They also cater to end of life, which was what actually appealed to me the most because you don't have to move your person once they became more demented or more ill and needed hospice; they take care of the person right to the end, so I liked that too. Unfortunately with Glen Ridge, as beautiful as it is, it is hugely expensive. The cost factor makes it very difficult, but it is beautiful.

My mother is a resident at Glen Ridge. She has been there for some years and I wanted to let others know who are looking for a place for their loved one that Glen Ridge is a really good place. Here is why I say that. First and foremost is that the Administrator and the Nursing Director are kind and compassionate. They actually care about the residents and the care they receive. If you have a concern or an issue they will listen and try to resolve it. They also have made substantial improvements over the last several years since they have been at Glen Ridge and they dererve high praise for all their hard work. Many of the negative comments on this web site are old and outdated and in my opionon, no longer are relevant. As I read the other reviews on the site I do not agree with many of the negative comments. When you place a loved one in a nursing home it can be very scary and I find that many family memenbers have a hard time adjusting and they tend to expect perfection when that is just not possible. Glen Ridge is a place where you will receive compassionate and high quality care for your loved one.
