Mulberry Glen

Mulberry Glen's got a quiet setting where you'll see gardens, walking paths, and lots of little gathering spots, and you notice right away how the place tries to feel like a close-knit small town, with people saying hello in the halls or spending time in the common rooms or library, and the front entrance has hanging flower baskets, trimmed shrubs, and an American flag. The facility provides different care types all in one place, so if you start out in independent living and need more help later, you can get assisted living or memory care without moving out, and some folks stay all the way through with help from the hospice and respite services. You'll find Riverside Terrace, a separate wing with one-bedroom apartments for residential care, and Azura Memory Care in its own secure building for people needing memory support, plus the Blu Grotto® Memory Care neighborhood set up for memory loss. They've got rooms with full kitchens, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, bath tubs, wheelchair accessible showers, cable TV, air conditioning, and you can get a private balcony or patio, with some ground floor units and uncovered parking available. Pets like dogs and cats, within certain weight limits, can live there, and smokers can smoke outside. Meals are all provided-sometimes with restaurant-style dining, guest meals, room service, and snacks available-and staff can help if you need a special diet, with blood sugar checks and insulin shots for diabetics, and care for bowel or bladder needs. You'll find a dining room with a piano, beauty salon, and barber shop, and activity rooms for crafts or exercise, and there's lifestyle enrichment staff who plan daily events like game nights, baking classes, or special parties, and the place has a billiards room, community kitchen, TV lounge, library, and an outdoor patio with raised garden beds and grill. Mulberry Glen's got staff there 24 hours a day, and they help with everything from assisted transfer for non-ambulatory residents to medication management, and if you need more help, there's a program called Enhanced Services which matches care to what you need after an assessment. You can get mental health support, counseling, and even see a psychiatrist if needed, and devotional services happen offsite if folks want spiritual gatherings of their own. Parking is available, with both underground and outdoor options, and transportation for shopping or appointments can be arranged for a fee. There's no long-term contract or endowment fee, so you pay as you go, and the apartments come in different layouts, like studios, one-bedroom, one-bedroom with a den, and two-bedrooms, both furnished and unfurnished. The staff uses special programs like the Household Model and MOSAIC philosophy to help residents feel comfortable, especially those with memory challenges, and they try to keep everyone involved with life skills, outings, and a sense of active aging, and they offer membership and training for staff with help from the WALA organization. You see plenty of social spaces, a meeting room, a place to watch TV, and gardens for relaxing or helping with the flowers, and many folks say the atmosphere is peaceful and easy to enjoy, making it a good spot if you want to age in place and have your needs taken care of as they change.
