Governors Glen specializes in Memory Care and accepts both long-term residents and individuals seeking respite or short-term stays. Round-the-clock licensed nurses coordinate with the community’s on-site physician to manage diabetes care, IV therapy, pain control, central lines, PCA pumps, enteral feedings, and other complex medical needs. Physical and occupational therapists provide scheduled rehabilitation in dedicated treatment areas, and the staff tracks progress to adjust care plans. The community is secured and laid out specifically to accommodate residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, and emergency response systems are in place throughout the building.
Additional medical support includes hospice coordination, medication management, and routine podiatry and dental visits conducted on site. Professional nursing services address incontinence, urological issues, ambulatory assistance, and fall prevention. The team also handles lab draws, wound care, and health monitoring, keeping family members and physicians informed. Residents have access to 24-hour nurse oversight, and care plans are reassessed regularly to reflect changing needs.
Apartments feature wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate controls, and cable or satellite TV; some units add fireplaces, in-unit washers and dryers, or ground-floor patio access. Wi-Fi, uncovered parking, and housekeeping are standard, while select suites offer garden views or proximity to outdoor sitting areas. Because layouts vary, not every unit has every feature.
Meals are prepared three times a day and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining available for flexible schedules. The culinary team accommodates vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, and other physician-ordered diets. Healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day, and special dining programs include barbecues, picnics, and guest meals so families can join residents.
Residents can stay active in the fitness and health-and-wellness programs, swim in the pool, or walk the indoor and outdoor paths. Social choices range from the activity center, game room, and library/computer lounge to clubs, Bible study, birthday parties, dances, and off-site outings.
