The family has asked to have the staff set dad's razor and shaving cream out and remind him to shave and this has not been happening. He may go 4-5 days without shaving which is unlike him. Also. They failed to have the shuttle take him to his dr appt this week although they were reminded several times. Staff is wonderful. Cheerful. Helpful. Dad seems to be flourishing.

Took great care of my mother

Amber Glen was extremely helpful and accommodating when we had to move my mother quickly out of one facility and into Amber Glen. They were very caring. One problem that I ran into was when it came time to coordinate hospice care and the care Amber Glen provided. Both agencies explained it well, but it did not always go smoothly for those weeks it was in place.

Amber Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center review

They don't have enough staff to follow through with promises and then Mom fell through the cracks and wasn't fed We paid extra for her to be fed and it didn't happen Then you can't leave as there are no facilities in the community to take her We were not kept updated on her condition.

My spouse in the best place possible

Her " Care Givers" are excellent. They are friendly and always alert to dairy needs and her attitudes. The medical staff checks her vitamins daily and redo when they are not normal. Meds are closed timely the support staff works constantly to see the see the operation runs smoothly and the physical plant is well maintained.
