Nice community, clean and inviting facility

Overall we think Silver Glen is a great facility and has been perfect for what my mom needs so far (she's been there about a year now) There are two areas where I've rated them lower than I would have at the beginning... it seems that with their new director coming on board last year, they've started making some changes that we're not thrilled about.. For one, in Nov they raised the rent for independent living by more than $[fee removed] a month (mom hadn't even been there a year yet) so now I'm concerned about whether the cost will continue to increase to the point where we wouldn't be able to afford it anymore. Secondly, they are starting to take away some of the perks of Independent living, saying that those are more for assisted living - for example, the residents had to use their call button to check in each morning by 10am, and if they didn't, the front desk would call to check on them

Our families experience

The facility is more geared toward senior apartment living. The value for what you get with that is average. The surroundings are beautiful and very clean but the administration and care is substandard. They rely heavily on the in home health company which has an office on site because they are staffed for people's special needs. They are not staffed. There's a lot of movement recently with management and they have yet to get things right. If that makes sense. If your loved one needs memory care this isn't the place!

Broken promises...

If you have alot of money....otherwise, broken promises, high staff turn over from top down, yearly rent increases $[fee removed]/mth., so so food. Front office closes door and hides when there is a concern/complaint-or say they'll fix and dont. Alot to say, do your research before signing the dotted line... Memory care staff is awesome, if they don't let them go.

Silver Glen

Silver Glen tried to charge us 30 day fee and also try to bill us for room repair painting, both combined were approximately $[fee removed] She was only at Silver Glen for approximately two months when we had to get her out of there because of the unfair assessment practices they said she needed 24 hour care but they didn't have a room available so I had to pay for a 24 Hour Nurse . I was told she could spend the rest of her days there Which obviously was not true. Within two months, her fees went from $[fee removed] a month to $[fee removed] a month beaten switch get her in the door and jack up the prices. The state attorney should really look into silver Glen's business practices.

A great choice at a tough time (this is specific to memory care)

The team does a great job, the facility is beautiful. ??The "additional services" are very expensive?The Pharmacy option is very expensive

Terrible management

My mother was in Silver Glen for 2 months and I had to move her out !! After she contracted a UTI while at the facility She was reevaluated as needing to be placed in Memory Care, Silver Glen did not have a memory care room available for my mother to transition into. ( I was told during the sales presentation Silver Glen was able to handle her needs in every stage of her dementia & Cancer until she passed) So the management at Silver Glen required me to hire an outside 24 hour nurse to live in her room for an additional $[removed]per day raising the monthly bill over $[removed]a month with no end in sight, Management couldn’t tell me when a room would become available, the situation was financially unsustainable, speaking with management was very difficult, it was days before emails were answered the director [name removed] was very inexperienced in dealing with people, in conclusion after 2 months I had to start the process of finding another facility all over again from out of state.

Beautiful facility

Silver Glen is a beautiful facility with a lot of amenities. The facility is equipped to only have a one person care. So if your loved one needs more than one person to help them get up or walk or bathe then this is not the facility for them. The staff is very caring and it is very clean and lovely.

Bait & Switch

Silver Glen is a corporate run facility Their management structure is run by young inexperienced, incompetent fools, your loved ones will get in on a lowball price, and within the first couple assessments, the price will double, if your loved one needs to move to memory care, and they do not have a room you will have to pay for a private 24 Hour Nurse, in a nursing home Run away from this place !!

Chose Silver Glen for our Mom

The facility is attractive and clean. Most staff seems friendly and nice but lots of turnover which seems to be the case in most independent living facilities. While my mom is happy with her particular apartment in Independent Living she’s not happy with other aspects. Food is not very appetizing, activities are pretty much nonexistent. Some silly nickle and dime charges that really shouldn’t be extra. It’s honestly not as advertised in the lovely brochure or as described on the sales tour. If I had to do it again I would have eaten a dinner or two and spoken to a couple of residents to get a better feel. Just do your due diligence! I do feel like she’s safe.

Hoping for improvement

The facility itself is new, nice and clean. The staff turns over often as does management. There is no cohesiveness to how the staff is managed and that negatively affects the service to the residents. It's not a great environment to live out one's final years.

Don't let the beauty fool you.

Stately, beautifully furnished room which are rarely used. It would have been so much better if the had put the money toward more staff and edible food. Their breakfasts are fine however. Dinner is terrible. Very good housekeeping, however.

Definitely recommended

I would definitely recommend Silver Glen Senior Living to others. The facility itself is great, the rooms are really nice, and everyone seems so nice and welcoming. Another great thing they have is they work with a company that provides Physical therapy, Speech and OT on the premises.. so we've been taking advantage of that with my mom. So convenient to have that in-house and not have to drive to appointments!

Our Experience

My brother is currently a resident. Silver Glen Senior Living is an excellent facility, per my brother. The value for the cost is excellent, most of the cost being covered by Social Security.

My dad is having a great experience. He's very happy that he chose Silver Glen.

It's a newer facility (3 YO), and a couple of residents told my dad they had moved from other places, and this one is much nicer all around. Staff is friendly and attentive. Housekeeping is every two weeks, and "sufficient." Food is varied and good quality. Family can even join in on meals! ($15). Good portions, fresh, flavorful and healthy choices. He likes 90% of the meals. Big upgrade from store-bought frozen meals. His plan includes two meals a day, so he's happy to be able to get out to grocery shop and buy breakfast items. It seems like most residents skip lunch. Move in was simple. We had to do it ourselves, and just let them know when we wanted to move in. He didn't move in the day he took possession, so we moved a few things in ahead of time. It was a much smaller space than his house, so move-in was really one day. I would absolutely recommend Silver Glen Senior Living. There are lots of options for housing, and lots of activities for the residents. You could be as active or reclusive as you want.

Happy with our decision

Silvery Glen Senior Living has been a great place for my mom. We chose this facility because it is close to both my sister and I, it is a very clean place, and they offer restaurant style dining in 2 dining rooms.
