Glen Carr House

They obviously need more help…

Friendly staff, but understaffed. Immediate smell upon entering,, residents toilet often plugged up, dirty laundry mounded high, general house keeping and light maintenance not done. Issues with the office staff and nursing. Was so happy to get our mom out of there and in to a different facility. Tread carefully, ask questions & get everything in writing before signing your loved one to their care. On a different note, the recreation/enrichment staff was awesome.

Medication sedation

We pulled mom out of Glen Carr after 6 months because they used Depakote to treat her restlessness and agitation in dementia. We were shocked to see her change from a generally happy (though restless) woman into a fearful, sedated shell of what she was when admitted 6 months before. Reading "Depakote and Treatment of Agitation in Alzheimer's" by Esther Heerema, MSW, updated January 29, 2020, I learned many facts consistent with our experience. According to multiple research studies, Depakote was no more effective…

It was just a blessing

We have not been able to visit the community yet due to the restrictions, however they just recently opened back up so we will get to go visit over Easter weekend. Our loved one is very happy at the Glen Carr House, she is just thriving. She is in the memory care area but she is much more alert then at her previous community. They have a lot of activities to do, she was actually participating in dominoes when we last spoke with her which was amazing to hear.

Meeting Mothers needs

My mother was at Glen Carr for over a year before she passed. At first I thought she need more attention than what she was getting but by going there on a daily basis I saw that my mother had her own mind and did her own thing which sometimes was in conflict to her own best interest. When I was away from her I realized that Glen Carr personnel did their best to make her comfortable, safe and happy. Glen Carr has great people working for them and as any place of business they have some people that do not do their jo…

Upset Wife

My grandmother and I went to have a visit with my grandfather . We were not allowed inside which is fine. We had to wear our masks outside and stay 6 feet apart. When we signed in, looking in the window the staff wasn’t wearing theirs and was definitely not 6 feet apart. I realize they can’t really take care of our loved ones and stay 6 feet apart but I would like to see the staff wearing masks especially if they are within inches from our loved ones.

This facility overworks thier staff. The CNAs cook breakfast which is cross contamination. There are a number of things that need to be fixed. Houses are cleaned once a week. This place needs a serious intervention.
