Emerald Place Memory Care in Glenview focuses exclusively on memory care, welcoming residents with Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, and related cognitive disorders. The clinical team is prepared to manage wandering in both the morning and evening, elopement risk, combative or otherwise challenging behaviors, and residents who remain awake through the night. Medical services cover wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet management, and all levels of diabetes control, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts adults under 60 when memory care is required and continues support through advanced dementia stages.

Licensed nurses are on site 24 hours a day, and every employee undergoes background checks. Awake staff monitor nights, door alarms and WanderGuard technology secure exits, and a fenced rear courtyard adds another safety layer. A visiting podiatrist provides routine foot care. Direct-care staff can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to perform a wide range of transfers, including walker and wheelchair help, one- or two-person lifts, Hoyer-lift transfers, and bed-bound repositioning.

Resident rooms are configured to simplify movement and orientation, with some offering private bathrooms and in-room cable service; not every unit includes all features. All hallways and doorways accommodate wheelchairs to ensure residents can move freely and safely.

Dining follows a set menu tailored by clinical staff to align with physician-ordered diet modifications such as diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-altered plans. Staff provide full eating assistance for anyone who needs it, and snacks are available throughout the day to support stable nutrition and hydration.

Amenities on the campus include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, Internet access, and regularly scheduled on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is offered, and the community is close to public transit for visiting family members. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
