It's one big family, everyone loves everyone. All of the staff cares! The receptionist, [name removed], is exceptional. She's so nice and helpful. We were so pleased with care my brother received, I would recommend Story Point any time.

The staff and activities are what make this place a great place. The staff are very friendly and caring. The cleanliness can be hit or miss, but I understand this can be difficult with so many patients at such an advanced stage of dementia and memory care issues. My mother in law is in decline but has maintained a pleasant attitude, so this has made our visits easier.

Dementia care is so vital to our community. I’m always amazed by the knowledge, compassion, and commitment to dementia care and education in this community holds. Keep it up!
- Lauren Benson
The staff at Glen Oaks treats every resident with love and respect. Further, their staffing model calls for a much higher staff to resident ratio than most care centers, so the residents receive kind, individualized attention. They offer a range of activities for their residents; there is no such thing as keeping people in bed because there's nothing else to do. My mother was so happy there and I will be forever grateful to her caretakers.

I recently had a tour of the Glen Oaks Alzheimer’s Special Care Center. My tour guide was Brandon Comer, the Community Relations Director. I was very impressed by what I learned. The facility was clean, there are many daily activities for the residents and the staff were plentiful. When the time comes, it will be a perfect fit.

- Hello Hello
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care my grandma received at Glen Oaks. From the moment she arrived, the staff welcomed her with open arms and treated her like family. The facility is immaculate, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it feel like a true home away from home. The nursing staff is incredibly attentive and compassionate. They went above and beyond to ensure my grandma's comfort and well-being. They took the time to get to know her personally, understanding her likes, dislikes, and daily routines. This personalized care made a significant difference in her quality of life. The activities and social programs offered are outstanding especially the activities director. My grandma always had something to look forward to, whether it was a group exercise class, a craft session, or simply chatting with friends in the beautiful common areas. The sense of community and camaraderie among the residents is heartwarming. Overall, Glen Oaks exceeded all our expectations. The peace of mind knowing my grandma is in such capable and loving hands is priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursing home to anyone seeking the best possible care for their loved ones. Five stars all the way!
