Glenbrook Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center has 82 certified beds and serves as a nursing home that offers both skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. The center is affiliated with American Senior Communities but is owned by The Health And Hospital Corporation Of Marion County. Management's been with American Senior Communities LLC since 2003, with Christopher Adams and Catherine Wiggs joining in recent years. The place runs around the clock, so residents get care any time of day. There's a nurse staffing level of about 3.3 hours per resident each day, though nurse turnover has been higher than average at 55.2%. State inspections have found some issues, including failure to safeguard belongings and provide proper care for residents needing incontinence or dialysis support.
Residents find a community that tries to be welcoming and supportive, where experienced staff, including an executive director with over 20 years in healthcare, aim to act as an extension of each patient's family. Care is person-centered, and there's an effort to provide support shaped to each person's needs. The facility offers care for daily living tasks-such as bathing, dressing, eating, and using the bathroom-as well as both long-term and short-term stays, including respite care and post-operative rehabilitation.
The therapy staff provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there are private rehabilitation suites for recovery from surgery, strokes, or other major health events, which some people find helpful. Memory care, wound care, and hospice and palliative services are also available. The center accepts a range of payment options, including Medicaid, and can help with the application process. Glenbrook's team includes doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers, who meet with new residents within 72 hours as part of the "Road to Recovery" program, which helps set up a plan for returning home.
Some of the facility's spaces include sitting areas, lounges, a dining area, and landscaped outdoor places, all intended to create a cheerful, home-like setting. Health and strength programs support recovery and wellness, and there are services for fall prevention, wound care, wheelchair use, and mobility training. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet, and many in the area say the center has a positive reputation. While the facility's had some challenges, the staff focus on kindness and try to support residents' well-being the best they can.
