Amber Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center review
They don't have enough staff to follow through with promises and then Mom fell through the cracks and wasn't fed We paid extra for her to be fed and it didn't happen Then you can't leave as there are no facilities in the community to take her
We were not kept updated on her condition.

It was difficult to decide on the right fit for my mom. Amber Glen has provided a loving, caring, professional, and safe environment for my mom. As a family staff team we all work together to support her the best we can. I trust Amber Glen will always do their best for my mom. I have also benefitted from their support group for caregivers.

Our Experience
My mother was a resident at Amber Glen previously (April 2023). I could not recommend under former management. I found her room filthy more than once. They let one resident roam freely, stealing from other people's rooms-and they were aware. Activities were non existent after about 3 or so and not consistently any more than coloring or sitting in front of a tv. Only few of staff actually engaging with residents. Often short handed, so not adequate supervision and/or they combined those with severe problems with others causing verbal arguments and even a food fight that I witnessed. As for the food- usually good breakfast. Otherwise over reliance on soup and cold sandwiches - usually without lettuce or tomato or anything to make it look palatable. No call buttons. They use very ineffective motion detectors. Had many things stolen and/or misplaced. My sister or I went every day to make sure she was okay. Not much accountability as the Director, Head Nurse, Bookkeeper and Kitchens Manager were left or replaced within 2wks of our arrival. On more than one weekend evening there was a sub/contract nurse in charge of the whole place who knew nothing or no one- including the codes to open the doors. And get everything in writing- I believe we were unfairly billed based on the difference between what the salesperson told us and what we had to pay.

Beware. Dedicated workers poorly managed.
My loved one was a resident at Amber Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center, but we have moved her from this facility. For my staff rating, I would rate the employees at a 4 and the management at a 2. I would not recommend this facility at this time. I would be extremely suspicious of anything their sales / marketing person says. I would say 90 percent was untrue-some purposeful and some not.

Meaningful Moments
I attended a luncheon at Amber Glen and was able to tour the facility as well. Lunch was absolutely DELICIOUS and prepared by the in-house chef, so those are some lucky residents!! The facility itself was very well organized, very cozy feeling, and I was very impressed with the dedication of the staff to create meaningful moments with residents. I absolutely loved the idea of the 'About Me' boards outside each resident's room!
