Glenwell - A DePaul Senior Living Community sits in a pleasant, park-like setting near medical offices and Mercy Hospital, where seniors find different care levels like assisted living, memory care, independent living, and respite care. The community helps older adults who need minor help with things like bathing or dressing, offers 24-hour supervised care, and has staff trained for dementia, medication, transfers, and diabetic care, though they can't give insulin shots but can still help folks check their blood sugar if they need it. The ALP Program gives specialized care, and the memory care unit serves up to 24 residents with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, focusing on safety with secure spaces and round-the-clock staff while supporting independence and dignity as much as possible.
People living here have options for private or shared rooms, with bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable, Wi-Fi, and furnished spaces. Active seniors can find plenty of scheduled activities, music, arts, community programs, fitness, and outings, plus extras like a community theater, game room, spa or wellness room, fitness area, walking paths, and a garden that help folks stay busy and social. There's a dining room for restaurant-style meals, food for special diets and allergies, and all-day dining for any schedule, so residents always have access to nutritious food. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, transportation, parking, concierge, mail, and daily living help all come standard, making life easier. Memory care residents get extra support, with staff on hand for both dementia care and non-ambulatory needs, and there's a strong focus on helping residents stay active and maintain a good quality of life through movement and social events.
Nursing is on hand 12-16 hours each day and every person gets a care plan matched to what they need, which can change as they age or their needs shift. Besides assisted and memory care, the community gives access to Medicare-certified home health services, non-medical home care support, adult day programs, skilled nursing for long-term needs, and even offers hospice care for residents who are nearing the end of life. Safety features like emergency alert systems and 24-hour supervision give peace of mind, and the staff always speak English and keep a friendly, helpful attitude that helps make the place feel homey and welcoming. Glenwell has senior living features like outdoor seating, walking paths, a courtyard, libraries, activity rooms, group events, and both private and shared housing options, including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms.
Residents do need to pass a physical and medical check with their doctor, including a TB test, have to be at least 50 years old, and they must be able to walk at least 200 feet-even with a cane or walker-but the place isn't wheelchair accessible for those who need total help moving. Glenwell accepts Medicaid, private insurance, social security, private pay, veterans' benefits, and has a community fee. Community rules say folks need to manage their own incontinence. The facility holds a NYS Department of Health license for 120 beds and specializes in moderate-level care for older adults. Staff encourage families to get involved, and each resident's care focuses on promoting independence, safety, and comfort, while keeping a friendly and respectful atmosphere for everyone.
