Its a nice clean place. The staff has been friendly and helpful. Like I said my sister handles all business and I've only visited a few times.

About the facility
Governors Glen

Governor's Glen opened in 1999 as an exclusive Alzheimer's/memory impaired assisted living community. Its founder and owner, Dr. Paul A. Colon, was a caregiver for his mother, Millie Michaels, who passed away from Alzheimer's Disease in 1997. Becoming an ALFA certified developer, he used his experience and knowledge to help design an assisted living residence that looks and feels like a home, not a hospital or hotel. Dr. Colon learned through his experience with his mother that socialization is the key to survival for a person with Alzheimer's. His mother was staying at home receiving 24-hour care when she fell and broke her hip in 1993. She was almost non-verbal and had lost much weight prior to her fall. But with a stay at a rehab facility, receiving social stimulation, she began showing signs of cognitive improvement. Dr. Colon was inspired to build a place for his mom, a place where residents would be loved and cared for and safe. His mother passed away before the dream could be realized for her, but her picture hangs over the fireplace in the parlor at Governor's Glen, with a plaque inscribed: 'Dedicated to the memory of Millie Michaels and all those who...

Advocate for your loved ones
The Executive Director is a very caring, thoughtful and compassionate person. She truly cares about the residents and their families. No place is perfect, but with any facility if the family takes an active role in the care of their loved one then there should be no worries.

Terrible place for a loved one.
Don't send your loved ones there. Low staffing, unresponsive staff and leadership. Clothes will be lost and never found. Laundry piles up and the family will need to help with keeping clothes/linen clean. Multiple falls with injuries that included 1 hospitalization and 1 ER visit on a Friday night with a head laceration. No. Please look at other facilities to keep your loved one safe and happy. Momma also experienced bullying by another resident.

Review for Governors Glen
It was affordable. They provided a room, comfort, and companionship for my loved one. There was alway someone who was with my loved one. Making sure they were not by themselves was important to me. They could improve on cleanliness, and making sure the rooms are nice, and clean for the residents. Also, they can ensure that the laundry is done in a timely manner.

a great place for loved ones so happy we found Governors Glen
Governors Glen has been an amazing experience so far, we feel that the staff members are wonderful and extremely friendly. The director is fantastic and the activities coordinator is amazing. We have had nothing but great things to say about their staff team. We love the way the community is set up, its laid out beautifully - there is a screened in porch with a courtyard the residents can go outside and relax in. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Major Issues
They have no security upon entry. Anyone can just walk in, and it is unsecure and safe. I am removing loved one, and highly not satisfied with services. The three biggest issues, inclues; cleanliness, security, and lack of showering. They only provide showers twice per week. The rooms were not clean enough, and the bathrooms/showers were unclean, and toliets were stopped up.

My Tour Experience at Monarch Villa at Stockbridge
Good community. The staff was too loud. The community felt dark and this wouldn't have been a good fit for my loved one. Also, the person that was scheduled to give the tour passed the duties to another staff member with no communication to me about the change.

Beware of Governors Glen
Do not go to Governors Glen - ever. My father was left dirty with urine all over him. They doubled his medication to the point that he was almost comatose, which sent him to the ICU within a very short period of time after moving in. In the hospital, he was diagnosed malnourished and dehydrated, with toxic levels of medication in his system. His organs shut down, and he died shortly after that hospital stay. Before entering Governors Glen, he was active, walking miles at a time, and generally healthy.

Wish we had found them sooner in our assisted living care journey!
My loved one has been through several places, and Governors Glen is the cleanest I've seen. I like that the person who created it did so for his parents, so it's well thought out, and a lot of love goes into the facility. The care has been really great, and you can tell the staff and the residents really enjoy themselves. They have activities going on all the time. We've had no issues - this is basically the perfect place. I just wish we could have chosen them first! It is more expensive, but I understand why.

This is Not an Assisted Living
The office staff were very nice; however, the caregivers weren't nice. There was a verbal argument with a caregiver one time. The office staff were willing to try and fix issues when brought to their attention. There were difficulties with making sure my loved one received their medications. The staff didn't know how to handle ordering my loved one's medication as well. There were times the food was not suitable for my loved one. I ended up having to take food to my loved one because of this. I ended up taking my loved one out of the community because of the issues we had.

Good Community, Still Needs Updates
I like the community. There are certain rooms that could use some updating. The resident's rooms could also use some TLC. The only activity available for the residents is exercising. It appears the activities are limited, and I'm unsure if this is COVID related.

I had several issues with this community. They used Covid as an excuse and did not come up with safe ways to continue things that were necessary like physical therapy. we had several items come up missing and there was an issue with theft. I would not recommend this community. The director would communicate with me and would not return calls or texts.

We had a great experience with Governor's Glen Memory care. My mom never complained about the food, they were very nutritious and they were really good about portion sizes and snack in between meals. While we were here there was a great activities director, she had very interesting activities and always kept the residents engaged. The staff were always very supportive and accommodating with anything we needed.

about Governors Glen

Governors Glen offers Studio and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Governors Glen 7.5 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.
