GlenView, which is located in a two-story wing of the health-care center, is comprised of 58 assisted living units and a special secured dementia care facility with capacity for 18 units. Known as the Gardens, the dementia care unit provides services geared toward memory support, physical activity, socialization and mental stimulation. Fees here begin at $3,850 a month, with all services included, according to Maralyn Schmiedeke, the director of assisted living. This facility is housed on the first floor of GlenView, while the 58 assisted living units are located throughout the remainder of the wing. The assisted living units range in design from studios to one- or two-bedroom floorplans, with fees starting at $3,600 a month. They feature kitchenettes, emergency call systems and independent climate controls. These units have been tailored to the needs of seniors who require some help with activities such as bathing, dressing and medication management.

GlenBrook, meanwhile, provides accommodation for seniors in need of the more intensive services of a skilled nursing facility. Located in a one-story wing of the health-care center, GlenBrook features long-term nursing care services, a full-service therapy and rehabilitation department, and a dementia care section. Fees here begin at $192 per day for a semi-private room and $245 per day for a private room.

"Obviously, a need has been growing in the community for an assisted living and dementia care facility of this caliber in the local area," says Schmiedeke. She tells GlobeSt.com that the "response from the local community has been so strong," that the GlenView-GlenBrook care center has "enjoyed greater success in occupancy that anticipated." GlenView alone is currently 50% occupied.
