The Terrace at The Glen at Hiland Meadows is an assisted living community in Queensbury, New York, offering both assisted living and enhanced housing for seniors. The community has 43 private apartments, each with a kitchenette, private bathroom, step-in showers with built-in seats, and sometimes a patio or balcony, which gives everyone a bit of extra space and privacy, and all apartments come with amenities like cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service, which makes things pretty comfortable. Residents get three restaurant-style meals prepared by a chef every day, with choices for special diets like those for allergies or diabetes, and there's always all-day dining available if you don't want to eat at set times.
Care at the Terrace includes licensed nursing staff, resident care assistants around the clock, onsite physicians and podiatry visits, and personalized wellness plans, plus regular health and wellness assessments to keep people safe and healthy-there's always someone close by, and an emergency call system is active 24/7. There's medication management, help with bathing, dressing, transfers, daily living needs, and scheduled housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, so the basics are covered and families don't have to worry about someone missing their meds or sitting in a soiled shirt. Short-term respite care is available with a minimum stay of fourteen days and a maximum of seventeen weeks, including seasonal stays if someone just needs a break or a place after a hospital stay.
The facility sits near medical centers like Emeritus hospital, and is close to places like CVS Pharmacy, Applebee's, and Panera Bread, so if you need to run errands or want to grab a meal somewhere different, it's simple to get out with transportation services provided for appointments or day trips. The grounds and building are maintained, and all utilities-heat, electric, AC, telephone (local and long-distance), cable TV, and wireless internet-are bundled into one monthly fee, so no separate bills come in the mail. Residents can use storage space for personal items.
The Terrace also has many places to be social or relax, with a movie theater, activity center, library, arts and music rooms, fitness and spa/wellness areas, and outdoor walking paths, plus community spaces for games, group programs, and lots of scheduled cultural, recreational, and educational events. There's a full-service beauty and barber shop onsite as well. Activities calendars are full, and there's a real effort made for residents to get involved, try new things, and keep their minds active.
For those with early to mid-stage memory needs, the community offers a separate memory care unit with specialized care and routines designed just for them. Security is strong, with locked doors, security systems, and an emergency call system in all apartments and community areas, so everyone feels safe while living there. The Terrace belongs to Eddy Senior Living Communities and is a part of St. Peter's Health Partners, which means it offers connections to health and wellness programs, classes, and support groups, all through a network that's been around for a while. The community is also part of the Trinity Health System and uses the MyChart system for things like medical records and billing.
The Terrace at The Glen gives seniors comfort, safety, meals, care, social activities, and support for memory needs all in one place, with staff who know how to provide real help every day.
