Glen Oaks receives mixed reviews from residents' families and staff. Many praise the facility for its caring and compassionate staff, who provide individualized attention and maintain a high staff-to-resident ratio. The community is described as warm and welcoming, with engaging activities and a focus on Alzheimer's and dementia care. Some families appreciate the clean environment, nutritious meals, and the SPARK program, which encourages resident participation in daily activities. However, there are significant concerns about management and staff turnover, which some believe affects the quality of care. Complaints include poor communication, inadequate response to emergencies, and neglect of residents' hygiene and medical needs. Some families report issues with missing personal items, unaddressed maintenance problems, and a lack of timely medical intervention. There are also allegations of discrimination and unprofessional behavior by management, particularly the Executive Director. While some families are satisfied with the care provided, others have experienced distressing incidents, such as falls and inadequate monitoring, leading to hospitalizations. The facility's handling of end-of-life situations and communication with families has also been criticized. Despite these issues, some reviewers acknowledge that Glen Oaks is better than other local options, but they express a desire for improvements in management and staff consistency. Overall, the reviews highlight a need for better oversight and communication to ensure the safety and well-being of residents.
