My mother was in Silver Glen for 2 months and I had to move her out !! After she contracted a UTI while at the facility She was reevaluated as needing to be placed in Memory Care, Silver Glen did not have a memory care room available for my mother to transition into. ( I was told during the sales presentation Silver Glen was able to handle her needs in every stage of her dementia & Cancer until she passed) So the management at Silver Glen required me to hire an outside 24 hour nurse to live in her room for an additional $[removed]per day raising the monthly bill over $[removed]a month with no end in sight, Management couldn’t tell me when a room would become available, the situation was financially unsustainable, speaking with management was very difficult, it was days before emails were answered the director [name removed] was very inexperienced in dealing with people, in conclusion after 2 months I had to start the process of finding another facility all over again from out of state.

Silver Glen is a corporate run facility Their management structure is run by young inexperienced, incompetent fools, your loved ones will get in on a lowball price, and within the first couple assessments, the price will double, if your loved one needs to move to memory care, and they do not have a room you will have to pay for a private 24 Hour Nurse, in a nursing home Run away from this place !!

The facility is attractive and clean. Most staff seems friendly and nice but lots of turnover which seems to be the case in most independent living facilities. While my mom is happy with her particular apartment in Independent Living she’s not happy with other aspects. Food is not very appetizing, activities are pretty much nonexistent. Some silly nickle and dime charges that really shouldn’t be extra. It’s honestly not as advertised in the lovely brochure or as described on the sales tour. If I had to do it again I would have eaten a dinner or two and spoken to a couple of residents to get a better feel. Just do your due diligence! I do feel like she’s safe.

The facility itself is new, nice and clean. The staff turns over often as does management. There is no cohesiveness to how the staff is managed and that negatively affects the service to the residents. It's not a great environment to live out one's final years.

Stately, beautifully furnished room which are rarely used. It would have been so much better if the had put the money toward more staff and edible food. Their breakfasts are fine however. Dinner is terrible. Very good housekeeping, however.

I would definitely recommend Silver Glen Senior Living to others. The facility itself is great, the rooms are really nice, and everyone seems so nice and welcoming. Another great thing they have is they work with a company that provides Physical therapy, Speech and OT on the premises.. so we've been taking advantage of that with my mom. So convenient to have that in-house and not have to drive to appointments!

My brother is currently a resident. Silver Glen Senior Living is an excellent facility, per my brother. The value for the cost is excellent, most of the cost being covered by Social Security.

February 28, 2024Hi John, we appreciate your kind words and the time you took out of your day to review us. We hope you have an amazing day!
It's a newer facility (3 YO), and a couple of residents told my dad they had moved from other places, and this one is much nicer all around. Staff is friendly and attentive. Housekeeping is every two weeks, and "sufficient." Food is varied and good quality. Family can even join in on meals! ($15). Good portions, fresh, flavorful and healthy choices. He likes 90% of the meals. Big upgrade from store-bought frozen meals. His plan includes two meals a day, so he's happy to be able to get out to grocery shop and buy breakfast items. It seems like most residents skip lunch. Move in was simple. We had to do it ourselves, and just let them know when we wanted to move in. He didn't move in the day he took possession, so we moved a few things in ahead of time. It was a much smaller space than his house, so move-in was really one day. I would absolutely recommend Silver Glen Senior Living. There are lots of options for housing, and lots of activities for the residents. You could be as active or reclusive as you want.

Silvery Glen Senior Living has been a great place for my mom. We chose this facility because it is close to both my sister and I, it is a very clean place, and they offer restaurant style dining in 2 dining rooms.

Silver Glen living is an absolutely stunning and beautiful facility for your loved ones. I myself would love to live there one day. They have thought of every thing that you might need. It is absolutely beautiful. The staff is wonderful. It is pristinely clean. You could not ask her anything more.

I had to laugh at the response which stated that the residents consistently compliment the menu. Perhaps in the assisted living portion. There is little variety and I see them push their food away. Most is fried, frozen, reheated. Rarely do you see fruit or veggies or a real meal. They would be better off with lean cuisines and a bowl of fresh fruit. The place is gorgeous, but that's where Spectrum put all their $$$$$. Kind, compassionate workers, but if you check out reviews on their other websites you'll see the food is a major complaint. This is my second review, so it should only count as one person. Food is getting worse, not better. I will be the first to post a positive review if corporate changes the food to tasty and healthy.

Silver Glen is a brand new facility and it is extremely nice. I would have loved to move my mom here but unfortunately they do not take Medicaid, so we eventually would have had to move her again. The tour was great though and the sales director was very friendly.

October 25, 2022Hi Customer, thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We appreciate your kind words, and wish you the best of luck in your search. Have a great day!
I toured this community and it was really pretty. Very nice and new. I didn't quite get the 'at home' feeling here. I also didn't see a single resident out and about while touring, which I thought was kind of strange. Ultimately, I felt like it was too big for my loved one and would be easy for her to feel lost here.
Our family had an in person tour and this was our loved ones first choice it was such a great tour experience
This is a beautiful facility. The common areas are always super clean. The executive director and accounting director both do a great job and do everything that they can. The food isn't great, not good quality, not cooked properly, and not a good variety. I'm there every night and I see it. No one is happy with it. A few weeks ago, they were understaffed and made the dining buffet style, which made it hard for residents with walkers etc. It was a mess. They say breakfast is ok, but the rest is awful. Turnover is very high in meals/dining and they can't seem to get it together. I bring my mom outside food a lot of the time Turnover seems pretty high in all departments. Housekeeping visits are about 10 minutes bi-weekly, but they don't always clean well. A lot of times, mom turns them away. Either way, I clean for her frequently. Communication with the family is not as good as it used to be. They're using a new system and I'm not very familiar with it yet. Twice now, the staff has entered her apartment without notice. Once while sleeping and once when she wasn't there but came back to find them inside. Both times freaked her out, especially the second time. The activities are weird to me. We were told there would be outings, but it's mostly small games and some are juvenile. The new activity director is good and really trying, but there are still no outings. I think the residents need more to do, especially outings to get them away once in awhile. When I first moved her in, the facility was way different and met our expectations way more than it does now. Especially for the price. Compared to what I've looked at, I would still recommend them I guess. But it definitely needs improvements.
