Highland Glen review: My mother spent the final year and a half of her life in the tender care of all the delightful and compassionate caregivers at Highland Glen Memory Care. In her living and in her passing she was treated with dignity and kindness. I know she felt loved. Friendship was fostered among the members of the community. She made friends who laughed, smiled and cried with her. Those dear friends came to bid her farewell with love and tears when she died. My sisters and I were so grateful for all the opportunities we had to participate in the many social activities planned for the residents and their family members. Mother's day luncheons, Easter egg hunts, Luaus, and holiday celebrations, and car shows and BBQs, movies, and cultural events, all planned so the residents could enjoy special times with children and grandkids and whoever they love that could come. We were so grateful for all the help and support through the transition to Hospice Care and finally end of life care. I wish I could remember the names of every single person over there because I know exactly what to thank each one for. But I have a special place in my heart for Taylor Tupou. He walked us through the Hospice process step by step and he always had a smile for my mom and she was quick to return the gesture. It has been a few months now since my mother's passing and my love for Taylor and Kobi and Gaelynn and Ryann and all those who's names escape me but whose loving faces never will, won't soon be forgotten. I was so touched when the staff sent me flowers to acknowledge my loss at her passing. Beautiful people not holding anything back in the care of people I love. A few years ago they also blessed the life of my stepdad in his last months. We feel so blessed to have been a part of the Highland...
Read moreIt is a hard decision to put a loved one in an assisted care facility but we made the choice a few years back to have our Dad move into Highland Glen shortly before he died. He was only there for a few weeks, but the staff there were incredibly kind and he even made a few friends during his short stay! We were so impressed that when the time came for our sweet mom to need the 24 hour care we couldn't provide, that it was an easy decision to move her into Highland Glen. The facility itself is clean, beautiful and very homey. Not too large like some other care facilities which we love. The staff really get to know each resident and when we visit, they are always so friendly. My moms room is so spacious and has a nice large bathroom with a bench seat in the shower. My mom continually comments on how good the food is and the activities they have on their calendar each day are so fun and engaging. From Bingo to bus rides, Walmart visits, temple visits, exercise classes, art classes, movies, nail painting and so much more. They do fun holiday activities for extended family members such as an Easter egg hunt, Halloween trick or treating, Thanksgiving brunch and Labor Day Luau. Our family really appreciates all these activities that keeps our mom engaged and happy! I highly recommend Highland Glen and their wonderful staff! Thanks especially to Paige and Todd and all the wonderful med techs that have taken care of my parents these...
Read moreWe put my 94-year-old Mom in Highland Glen in August, 2023. The experience has been more than wonderful!!! Everything about it, including: -Food (three square meals a day - my Mom raves about how delicious it is and I agree); -Activities (Rebecca, who runs the activities, makes a special effort to ensure my Mom, now 95, is invited to all the activities. And my Mom really, really enjoys them, and she cleans up at Bingo); -Field Trips (same thing, Rebecca gives special invitations to my Mom and others); -The healthcare (Kobi and Connie and all the medical staff are absolutely top-notch! They keep me up-to-date and alert me when anything is amiss); -Administrative staff (Paige have been so helpful! Any time I’ve needed the slightest thing, she’s been right on top of it).
And Todd and all the rest of the staff (there are soooo many names to name but I just can’t remember all of them….) have been extremely helpful, conscientious, concerned, and thorough!).
The litmus test has been my siblings and other elderly friends. Each time one of them visits my Mom they comment about how nice Highland Glen is, and then they say: “I hope I get to live here when it’s my...
