Glen Oaks Health Campus operates as a skilled nursing home, centered on 24/7 clinical oversight and evidence-based medical interventions. On-site physicians coordinate care plans with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants to address acute and long-term conditions. Residents have access to physical therapy for mobility and strength, speech therapy for communication or swallowing concerns, and structured diabetes management that includes monitoring, medication administration, and nutrition guidance. Respite and short-term stays are available for those recovering from hospitalization or giving family caregivers a break, allowing individuals to benefit from the same level of skilled services without committing to permanent residency.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the campus maintains a secured environment designed for resident safety and for those who may be at risk of wandering. Staffing patterns are adjusted to match acuity levels, so specialized teams are available when needs change. Interdisciplinary rounds review progress, update goals, and ensure therapy schedules remain effective. The campus also coordinates with external specialists and hospitals in New Castle to streamline transfers when higher levels of care are required, reinforcing continuity and minimizing disruptions for residents and their families.
Living arrangements range from private to shared suites, each air conditioned and designed for handicap accessibility. Select accommodations offer kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi, while common spaces feature a central fireplace, billiards lounge, landscaped outdoor areas, and garden seating. Housekeeping and linen services are included, and on-site parking is provided for residents and visitors. Because room layouts and amenities vary, not every unit contains every listed feature.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining option for flexible scheduling. The culinary team supports vegetarian, gluten-free, low or no sodium, no sugar, and organic preferences, making it easier for residents to adhere to physician-ordered diets, including those required for diabetes care. Residents and guests can look forward to barbecues or picnics on the grounds, themed international menus, and healthy snacks available throughout the day. Guest meals may be arranged in advance to share dining experiences with family or friends.
Recreational and social offerings include an activity center, game room, and library and computer lounge for independent or group pursuits. Scheduled programs feature arts and crafts, fitness classes, health and wellness seminars, Wii bowling, trivia contests, and intergenerational visits. Residents can join clubs, attend educational speakers, or participate in holiday parties, wine tastings, live dance and theater performances, and day trips around New Castle. Off-site outings, swimming opportunities, and group social events are organized by staff, ensuring a full calendar that supports physical, cognitive, and social well-being.
