Cogir of Glenwood Place

Mother has lived there for 3 years. I've come to know and appreciate the staff. I'm confident Mom is in a safe place, with people who really care about her. I love that she has made friends with other residents, and is much more socially engaged. It's particularly important to me that there is nursing staff 24 hours a day.

This is my mother's home for the past nine months. We have found the staff to be well trained and working with positive attitudes. She really enjoyed the Gym and nursing staff. Her hair and nails were regularly attended to keeping her happy and beautiful. Mom loved the Lasagna and chicken dinners. I liked the bacon cheeseburgers! Mom had the full meal deal with laundry, room service, regular showers and medical supervision for her medication. Other residents told me that the staff and accommodations are better than they used to be.

I have lived at Cogir The Loft for four years and highly recommend it. It is a home for everyone, you can be as active as you want, by getting involved in the many activities, or you can sit by the fire and read a good book. Stop by for a tour. Ceecee Hill

Friendly staff, but way understaffed to say the least. My mother is wheelchair bound and can't walk and has to wait 20 minutes to an hour to have someone show up to help her go to the bathroom, to get downstairs to eat, or help her out of bed and get her in the wheelchair. They estimated her "care package" to be about $875.00 a month by using other residents residing there that also can't walk, but her first bill was for $2,000. How can an estimate be off that much if they did actually compare her needs to other residents with the same needs? They also did not disclose that they had just been bought by another company when we were signing the papers. And the last topic you should be aware of is the food. The Bistro is good with sufficient portions and the food is hot. It has a limited menu and only about 5-6 tables, so you need to grab a table if you see one open. The dining room menu presents a lovely and creative description of chef prepared food, but it is far from it. The food either arrives lukewarm or cold. The menu states soup with your meal but you have to ask for it, (they don't ask you if you'd like to have it) along with salad dressing if you are having a salad, salt and pepper, sugar, dessert, etc. It appears that they too, are short staffed. If things with the new company that bought Glenwood improve significantly, I will change my posting. Ask a lot of questions, order from the menu, (if need be, so that you can see firsthand), and when it comes to the "care package" add double that amount! So far, it's been a huge disappointment, but I do realize that they are in a transition phase.
