Patriots Glen Assisted Living & Memory Care

I think this place is a pocket stuff. Never enough employees and very unattentive staff. They smile a lot. We need more than that! The people have an emergency button. They never answer it. Some of the employees do a bit better than broken English. Food is pretty marginal. Usually, when I visit...I have to chase down the help to order. I think they are siphoning people to their "memory care" unit, from the other side. Not sure they are better or worse than any of the others. I can say they consistently fail. And, they don't seem to fix their failures.

Patriots Glen is a most unusual home for seniors meeting the needs with loving service not included elsewhere. A loving family home with comforting appearance and decor. Reasonable costs are determined and adjusted by personal needs.Unlike other facilities, activities direct continual opportunities to exercise, have fun, go shopping,keep alert and active while enjoying life. Our activity direction is primary. Visits by family and friends are facilitated at all hours. Residents can also keep a dog or cat. The menu is varied, extensive and carefully planned for healthy living. Patriots Glen staff reflect all the cultures on earth with an uncanny understanding of personal care. All staff, like a large family, working , continually helping each other. In my eight months at Patriots Glen, I have gone from fat to thin, losing 50 pounds, becoming a different man, invigorated and motivated with renewed strength. Bob.

The reason I picked Patriots Glen was because my price range was between $3,000, and $4,500 a month. All of the places that were recommended were above that. There were only three places that I selected that had the services for memory care that were adequate for my mother. It turned out to be one of the lower priced places, and also had the level of care that was adequate. We tried respite stay in two places. When my mom was staying at the other place, she had two incidents within the first four days, and there was no records on the medical caregivers log files that showed when or how it happened. So, I scheduled a second respite stay at Patriots Glen. Here there were no incidences, and although the type of care is slightly different, it's adequate for her needs at least at this time. The place itself is up-to-date, simple, and it's a smaller memory care facility. There are only 19 folks in there. The number of activities in the calendar is simpler, but fairly complete. The level of care is very personal. The number of caregivers is 4:1; which is a large number. There are no outstanding state actions against the facility. It has a good record in terms of safety. I would describe them as simpler in nature, and not as elaborate.

My mother has lived at Patriot's Glen for 8 months now. I cannot imagine a more caring and loving staff that have more than met her every need. She has received immediate care for evey need. Each care-giver treats her like a loving family member. The chef John provides gourmet meals. Patriot's Glen has been a true home for my mom. I cannot imagine any need that has not been met at the 5 star level. She has thrived there. Thanks ever so much!
