The Glen at Lake Oconee Village provides three levels of residency—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—allowing residents to shift seamlessly to a different support level should their health needs change. Short-term respite stays are accepted, which is helpful for families needing temporary coverage or residents wanting to sample the community before committing long-term. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed to address cognitive changes with structured programming and an environment tailored to minimize confusion and promote familiarity.
Clinical resources are extensive. A secured perimeter and an in-room emergency call system support quick response times, while an on-site nurse oversees daily health monitoring, medication management, and coordination with personal physicians. Residents have scheduled access to a visiting doctor, podiatrist, optometrist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech therapist, and massage therapist. Specialized services such as diabetes management, incontinence care, ambulatory care, and hospice coordination are available, and the separate Memory Care wing is equipped specifically to accommodate memory loss. These layers of medical oversight help residents remain in the same community even as care requirements increase.
Apartment layouts vary, so not every residence offers every feature, but options include private bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable or satellite TV. Select units add balconies, patios, or decks for private outdoor space, and all benefit from air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, while common areas include a central fireplace, piano or organ, and multiple outdoor areas. The building is handicap-accessible throughout, ample parking is available, and the community is pet friendly for approved animals. A dedicated mail room and other practical conveniences reduce the need for off-site errands.
Dining follows a restaurant-style model with all-day availability, allowing residents to eat on their own schedules rather than at fixed seating times. A professional chef prepares menus that accommodate international dishes, vegetarian choices, low-sodium and no-sugar options, ensuring residents with specific dietary instructions can adhere to medical guidelines without sacrificing variety. Guest meals can be arranged for visiting family or friends, and the culinary team works directly with clinical staff to align each resident’s nutritional plan with physician orders.
Leisure programming is designed to keep residents active and socially engaged. Daily schedules may include fitness classes, yoga or chair yoga sessions, and laps on the indoor or outdoor walking paths. An activity center and a library and computer lounge provide space for clubs and community groups, while raised garden beds encourage hands-on horticulture. Regular events such as reminiscence programs, intergenerational visits, birthday parties, dances, karaoke nights, happy hours, live music, and group social outings are planned by staff. A swimming pool offers low-impact exercise and relaxation when weather permits, contributing to an overall lifestyle that balances physical health with mental stimulation.
