Glow Cares in Mechanicsville, VA operates as both an Assisted Living community and a Residential Care Home. The team supports residents with moderate dementia and delivers a range of clinical services that include wound care management, oxygen administration, and customized nutritional oversight for special diets. Residents who manage diabetes—whether controlled by oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens—receive monitoring and treatment coordinated by a 24-hour onsite nurse. Routine podiatry visits are conducted in the building, reducing the need for off-site appointments and helping residents maintain mobility and foot health.

Care delivery is reinforced by continuous staffing and safety measures. A licensed nurse is on duty around the clock, all employees undergo background checks, and the building is equipped with door alarms and dedicated 24-hour security personnel. An activity director plans structured and therapeutic engagements each day. Staff members provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, adjusting support levels as needs change. Transfer capabilities range from standby supervision to one- and two-person transfers for bed-bound residents, and equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs is accommodated.

Resident rooms vary, but some feature private bathrooms and can be personalized; families may repaint or add décor within guidelines. Housekeeping is provided to maintain hygiene and order, while maintenance handles routine repairs. Because room layouts differ, prospective residents should confirm which specific features are available in the apartment they select.

Dining follows a flexible approach. Scheduled meals are offered from a set menu, but on-order selections are available for residents who prefer alternate choices. Between meals, snacks are accessible. Dietary modifications—including carbohydrate-controlled and other physician-prescribed plans—are coordinated with nursing staff to support medical requirements.

The property is wheelchair accessible throughout, offers community-wide internet access, and holds on-site religious services to accommodate varying faith practices.
