Does someone you love need a higher level of care and supervision in order to live a safe and healthy life? If so, Linden at Glen Ridge may be just the solution you have been seeking.
Linden at Glen Ridge was specifically designed to meet the needs of patients with memory impairment, Alzheimer's and dementia. It provides a comfortable, home-like setting, where patients receive the specialized care and attention they need to live with as much dignity and independence as possible. Staff members in the Linden unit are specially trained and experienced in working with patients with memory impairment. We also work to keep caretaker assignments consistent and to maintain the optimum staff-to-patient ratio.
THE PROGRAM INCLUDES:
Comprehensive services to meet the medical needs of our residents.
Linden at Glen Ridge has its own dining room, designed to accommodate the special needs of unit residents. Nutritional and feeding assistance is provided as needed.
Caring support for caregivers of all ages.
Activities programming for Linden at Glen Ridge is designed with the special needs of dementia patients in mind. Our structured, specialized program offers therapeutic activities that focus on the needs of memory-impaired residents. Programs include group and one-on-one activities--and family members are always welcome!
Many patients with Alzheimer's or dementia exhibit wandering behaviors that can endanger their safety. These residents require a higher level of supervision and security, and our Linden unit provides that. The unit is furnished with a secure outdoor walking area, and a unit-wide locking system. The unit is also small enough that patients can transfer from one setting to another without leaving the secure environment.
"My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's four years ago. Since then my husband and I have had a total of three days' vacation. This year we called the respite program at Glen Ridge and spent a week together, reconnecting. What a relief to know Dad was safe!"
