Glarner Lodge provides assisted-living care with a clinical focus that includes wound care management, oxygen administration, and dietary oversight for residents who require special menus or diabetes management, whether controlled by oral medications or injections. Staff are able to support residents with mild dementia conditions and coordinate closely with physicians to maintain treatment plans.
The community maintains a 24-hour nurse on call, conducts background checks on all employees, and staffs an awake night shift. An activity director organizes daily programming while a PERS system alerts staff to urgent needs. A dedicated therapy room is available for on-site rehabilitation services. Caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and provide standby supervision for eating. Transfer help ranges from standby support to one-person transfers, and residents using walkers or wheelchairs are accommodated.
Apartments vary in layout; some offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, while all receive routine housekeeping. Residents should confirm the exact features of any specific unit during a tour.
Dining options include a set daily menu, an on-order alternative for those who prefer more choice, and snacks available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions, and therapeutic diets are prepared as ordered by physicians or dietitians.
Additional amenities include resident parking, full wheelchair accessibility throughout the building, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, a library, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or errands.
