Specialized Memory Care in Queensbury
In Fall of 2022, The Glen at Hiland Meadows opened a brand-new 25,000 square foot building for memory care, which features 30 suites and provide assisted living care, as well as a day program for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory loss problems.
The decision to expand the community’s memory care services was due in large part to a study conducted by Murdock Strategies, which indicated there was a critical need for memory and dementia care in the Queensbury area. In fact, there was an estimated 100-bed deficit, forcing many local families to move loved ones out of the area in order to get proper care. The Glen’s new Memory Care Center has changed that by providing more options locally for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Similar to our networks’ other nationally recognized memory care models in Cohoes and East Greenbush, The Glen offers a residential environment that preserves self-esteem and self-confidence and supports independence.
Memory Care at The Glen at Hiland Meadows offers a residential environment that preserves self-esteem and self-confidence and supports independence. The community provides attractive living areas to create a warm, familiar atmosphere, and a culture of care that enhances quality of life specifically for those with cognitive impairment.
Programs serve individuals with early to mid-stage memory impairment — those with difficulties that require watchfulness and a supportive environment, but who do not need nursing home care.
The center is thoughtfully designed and services are tailored for individuals with memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias.
