A good rating for a hard choice
They promised the moon, but they don't deliver. They sure as heck try harder than the last place we were at. I know there have been several people from other places who have gone to Glen Oaks. I don't think they are great, but they're doing a lot better than the other choices we have in Des Moines. I had a friend bring her father-in-law here; he's a really tough case and Glen Oaks does a great job on those really difficult clients. I give them a lot of credit for taking the hard cases. We can get kind of lost when we're also a hard case, but we're non-violent and can sit still. It's really hard, but they do a better job than other places. They're not perfect and they could come further up the ladder, but I give them a lot of credit for taking those hard case and for doing they best they can. I just wish they'd do better for my loved one.

Very Satisfied
Overall, the facility is clean and the staff is friendly. Staff turnover is fairly high, but I don't blame the facility. It's just a sign of the times. I'm much happier with my husband being here than when he was at home. This place has really helped him. I'm much less stressed and things are going good. I would recommend them to family and friends!

Peace of Mind
I would recommend Glen Oaks and their philosophy on caring for the residents. The residents are out of their rooms socializing with other residents or participating in activities. The staff are good to work with if the family has any questions or concerns about our loved one. Medication management, dressing assistance, and transfers are some of the care types the community is able to assist with. They are good at assisting the residents. The room, utilities, changing of linens, laundry, housekeeping, and more is included in the monthly rate.

Our families experience
We find the facility very clean. The permanent staff is wonderful and we consider them family, sometimes the outside staff that they bring in can be a hit or miss. We did have a turkey dinner meal there and that was really good, but other than that we do not have any other experience with the meals. The activities are not limited, they bring in special entertainment which is great. We like the fact the change things around every half hour - two or three times our loved one is getting physical therapy.

Tour of Glen Oaks
I really liked Glen Oaks, we could have easily gone with this facility as well. I enjoyed talking with the director and we got along well. I was impressed with how the staff were all interacting with the residents. Unfortunately they did not have any single rooms available at the time and due to my wife's condition, that was something she was going to need.

They meet our needs.
They've met our needs when we needed it. As my loved one's dementia journey is coming to an end, they seem to be able to meet all of the things we need them to do. They do a good job at handling the advanced stages of dementia. The rooms seem to be set up effectively. They have a monitoring system to keep track of the patients, and there's always plenty of staff around to help. The food is wonderful as well.

Great facility
My Mother was admitted to Glen Oaks a month ago as Hospice wanted her to have a higher level of care. We are VERY happy with Glen Oaks. Workers speak when you walk in, RN is very caring and actually feeds residents HERSELF as do other workers. They have planned activities and do not let residents sit all day. Mom is eating, so presume food is very satisfying. Workers have mom clean and her hair done every day.

My mom never wants to leave
Glen Oaks has been absolutely amazing. We chose this facility because of the staff, I toured 10-12 dementia units in our area and I always kept coming back to Glen Oaks. The staff and their interaction with the residents was amazing. I also took my mom here before she moved in and she absolutely loved it. They have been doing zoom visits, so they do offer that with your family member which are absolutely wonderful. They are doing everything they can to still keep you in contact and you can call at anytime. My mom since this has never been locked in a room, sequestered away, they have not had any cases in the facility. They have a big courtyard and when it was nice out, they had family members come out and participate in activities with their loved ones. They just have TONS of activities and my mom is always busy doing something.

Bottom of the barrel
This place is a mess and a new fancy remodel will not help turn them around. Staff talks to residents like they are children. All the good staff have pretty much left and I don't blame them. Administrator just sweeps things under the rug or tells you what she thinks you want to here but never addresses concerns. She takes absolutely no responsibility for anything. I never see her out and about the facility. The times I've been there when she is she is just sitting in her office most of the time with the door shut. She will go to family meetings to make a big show and is always super fake during them. I know for a fact that one time a nurse worked a 21 hour shift! When it was mentioned she just shrugged it off and really didn't address it. Makes me wonder how often this happens and makes me fear for resident's safety. Every time I come into visit at night or weekends the residents are just all positioned around the front lobby area staring at each other or parked in front of a TV. Such a sad place.

A Great Move for Mom
This was a great move for Mom! She really is happy at Glen Oaks. She reminds us frequently how nice everyone is there. We think so, too! In addition, the staff is super helpful and interacts so well with their residents. We are always impressed by what we witness between staff and residents and the obvious care and respect that is shared. Mom is safe, healthy and happy. She participates more in activities as they really do a nice job of making them fun and interesting. Her room is bright and sunny and always clean. She likes a little more room, so we were able to find a double room for her and use the extra bedroom space for a living area. She loves it! The facility as a whole looked great already, but is now going through a renovation to spruce it up. Our whole family is very happy with Glen Oaks and Staff! More importantly, Mom is very pleased with her new home!

Extreme Caution.
I noticed that the reviews for Glen Oaks are approximately 2 years old. They do not accurately reflect, in my opinion, the experience that I am having with my relative. Residents are injured and reports do not get completed. Staff are scared to say anything, because they are afraid of reprisals from management. When you bring a concern forward, you are treated hatefully and in a manner that just demonstrates that they do not care. There have been a number of inspections into this facility, to respond to complaints. They seem to clean up the complaints long enough to pass whatever inspection they have to pass, and then once the authorities have left, things backslide in the manner in which they were before. This is a very expensive facility, and it seems to me that there should be a greater amount of care and attention afforded to the residents. Most of what I observed was staff standing around. Even during mealtimes, staff stood in the corner, expecting individuals in the full throes of dementia who could not get their own plate of food to feed themselves. I watched the staff gathered together in the back of the dining room, joking and laughing with one another, while residents begged for their food.

Consider Carefully
This facility has gone down hill very fast. The management is not involved and the staff changes before you can learn their names. They are gone before their training ends. Morale seems very low. Most times there is nobody at the front desk and leaving the secured area takes anywhere from 3 to 6 rings on the buzzer before someone can be found to let the visitors out. Orders upon release from the hospital were disregarded and nobody seems to take responsibility or be in charge. The call light takes 25 to 35 minutes to be answered even when the family is there. The "redirection" of the unruly or violent residents is sometimes alarming. One of the workers offered that they thought a total meltdown of one of the residents was "rather funny". Any when a question is asked, the most common response is "um, I don't know" with the other one being, "I have no idea" and walking off. The food is okay but the back dining area is packed while the front, larger dining area has very few residents in it. These few would be considered the ones that need less care and help and supervision. Many times there is no one to be found once the meal is served. These residents are our loved ones and still should be treated with dignity and consideration. That is lacking here to a large extent, although there are a few that are dedicated and compassionate. Overall, I would not recommend this facility.

Floor Design Is In The Shape Of A HorseShoe
This community is a little newer than others that we have seen. We liked the floor plan being that it is shaped in a horseshoe pattern so the residents can continuously walk without stopping. The community is very clean very well kept. The staff is friendly very accommodating they adjust to my mother's ever changing needs. In dealings with the residents, the staff is always professional.

So far, things are going well for my mother since her move to Glen Oaks. My sister just visited her yesterday and her dad that mom is doing great. [Removed] has been wonderful. She goes above and beyond to make sure that she had transportation to get my mother to the facility and came up with a care plan for her. It has truly been a good experience.

Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center offers Studio and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
