Boardman Lake Glens sits right on the quiet shore of Boardman Lake, close to town with lovely water views, lush landscaping, walking trails, and a sunroom where you can watch the lake in any season, and you've got private one- or two-bedroom apartments, even studios, all with kitchenettes, temperature controls, private bathrooms, and an emergency call system, and some pets can live with you, too. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, adult day care, home health care, and rehab, with each option having its own staff and services, so folks can stay in their apartments if their needs change and couples with different needs can remain together. There's an "Age in Place" program, so residents don't have to move if they need more help later on, and the memory care program sits in its own building with features to keep things safe for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Every apartment has its own privacy, but there are plenty of common areas like a dining room with a fireplace, lounges, activity rooms, gardens, patios, and a courtyard, so people always seem to find each other for meals or cards or to just sit and visit.
A full-time Activities Director keeps a busy calendar of events, group outings, wellness classes, and recreation, and even lets the residents pick activities they want, and residents can go for off-site trips with complimentary transportation or use the community bus, plus there's resident parking for those who drive. Mealtimes are a big gathering at Boardman Lake Glens, and they do three chef-prepared meals a day, including vegetarian choices, always aiming for both taste and nutrition, and the friendly serving and kitchen staff make it a more social time. Housekeepers handle cleaning and fresh linens, and you'll see house managers in every building, making sure things are running smoothly and people are comfortable.
Relaxation and safety sit at the heart of things, with staff available 24 hours a day-always awake-and a full-time Registered Nurse and nurse aides handling any care needs, covering everything from medication reminders to help with bathing, dressing, memory support or incontinence care, even using mechanical lifts if someone isn't able to walk. Residents get visits from outside podiatrists and therapists-physical, speech, and occupational-as needed, and medication management happens on site. Health services reach outside the main buildings, too, as trained aides give companionship or non-medical help for people still living in their own homes who might just need a little extra.
Boardman Lake Glens has its own specific names and terms for services and buildings, and a welcoming attitude toward new people or tours, and the place keeps up with current times, with Wi-Fi in common areas, handicap accessibility, and a Facebook page for updates. The community's won some awards for its services and programming, but what most people notice is how folks here know each other and stay active with choices for social times or quiet days, all while seeing the water, the trees, and the life going on right outside their windows.
