The Glen Retirement System sits on a 53-acre campus at 403 E. Flournoy Lucas Rd. in Shreveport and gives older adults a choice of living options including independent living in Redbrook at The Glen and Stiles Apartments, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, and the whole place is open all day and night so there's staff around at all times if anybody needs help. Folks have access to private rooms with kitchenettes, washer and dryer, cable TV, wireless internet, and the housekeeping and maintenance crews keep everything working and clean, while dining rooms, kitchens, and daily meals, plus dry cleaning services, make daily living easier.
The Glen offers a gym, beauty salon and barbershop, chapel, activities and game rooms, a cinema, and guest parking, and the grounds and buildings use safety and security features like handicap access, sprinkler systems, and extra precautions in case of emergency. Residents join in social activities, Brunch & Bingo events, arts and crafts, wellness programs, and education groups, with special programs for those who want more caregiver support, personal care assistants, and transportation to appointments or errands.
For those who need extra help, personalized care comes through Gamble Guest Care Management, and there's a full 24-hour nursing staff, plus skilled nursing and rehabilitation programs at Cypress Point Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. There are community calendars and a photo gallery so people can keep track of what's going on. The Glen takes part in the wider community through outreach programs, Senior Centers & Congregate Meal Sites, Meals on Wheels, and legal and ombudsman services to help protect residents' rights.
Living options range from studios and single rooms to two-bedroom units, with rates from $2,010 up to $5,625 a month. The Glen offers both independence and support, so elders can age in place while choosing just how much help they need, and the place is designed to keep life as simple and worry-free as possible, with plenty of company and ways to stay busy for those who want to take part. There are virtual tours of Redbrook at The Glen, Stiles Apartments, and assisted living options online, and more info is on their official site at theglen.org or at http://www.theglensystem.org for those who want to look up extra details.
