Boardman Lake Glens is a very nice place. They are very accommodating. The ladies that live there are very friendly. One resident was willing to show me her apartment because they didn't have an open one when I visited. The apartments are very nice, very open, and clean. They have lots of storage space. They don't have a swimming pool or a movie theater, but they have a number of classes and a nice library. They also serve three meals a day. Overall, Boardman Lake Glens is friendly and homey. The only thing about that is that, it is on Boardman Lake, and four years ago, my brother drowned there, so I don't know how I would handle living right on the lake.

I am/was a resident of this facility
I was at Boardman Lake Glens for about a year, and that was really ace. I’d like to go back there. It’s very small with only 21 rooms, and the food was good. They had a lovely spot right on a little lake, and were just a few buildings away from the city library; plus, there was a close shopping area you could walk to, and traffic was fairly quiet. It was a really nice place, and the people there were very accommodating.

Boardman Lake Glens was nice. I actually went there twice, and it looked like a nice facility. There wasn't anything going on while I was there, so I couldn't really see how the dining situation would exist, but I did see the room, and it looked like a pleasant room; it was certainly adequate.

Boardman Lake was also a very nice place, but it was much more expensive. It just was not within my mother-in-law's price range. It was one that I would probably rate a 5. They have very nice areas for the residents to sit overlooking the water. I wasn't sure about the safety of it for someone with dementia because they had patios that open right out onto the water, and I could see someone kind of wandering into the river. The staff and the rooms were nice. They had a good array of activities. It seems like a very good facility. It was very clean and well kept.

Both of my grandparents lived at Inverness for several years, until they both passed away. I was amazed at the level of care they received: in one word, EXCELLENT. All of the staff, including kitchen help, knew their names. Their apartment was always clean, as were their clothes. When my grandparents were aware of their surroundings, they said they were very happy with the staff, although my Grandfather often complained about the food. As he was almost a gourmet chef himself, meeting his standards of cooking in an institutional setting, would be nearly impossible. He took it in good stride. When each of them passed, the staff was there with us, personally involved. They did not, however, overstep their bounds. It was obvious that they cared for my grandparents, and did not wish to see them suffer. We could not have asked for better care.

Boardman Lake Glens had cottages available, which met my needs because you can get out, plant flowers, and watch the birds. Meals were not available, which was the only thing I disliked. The facility itself was nice and clean and looked like it was well taken care of. The staff looked as though they were caring people.

I didn’t like Boardman Lake Glens; it’s clean, but it’s just old. You can look in everybody’s door, and they’re just sitting there watching TV.
