REVIEWS OF Juniper Glen
Questions about Juniper Glen
Yes. Every memory care resident who joins our East Amherst community brings something new. Needs are driven by physical, mental, and emotional health; religious preference; medical history; personal history; family status; cultural identity; and more. For these reasons, our experienced memory care planning team works directly with the resident and their family to build a custom care plan focused on goal achievement. Common goals include fall prevention, blood pressure management, life enrichment, socialization, comfort, and maintaining independence. Changes in the care plan require family involvement, so you’ll always know what to expect and have a voice in the decisions concerning your loved one’s memory care plan.
It’s important to us that your loved one has access to all the memory care services they need in order to thrive. While Juniper Glen accommodates most levels of care, certain levels of dependence for physical and medical needs might require the level of care that only skilled nursing (also called long-term care) facilities can offer.
For example, needs that might require a transition of care include total incontinence, total dependence for activities of daily living, or advanced medical care like a feeding tube or ongoing wound care. Our memory care planning team works closely with residents and their families to stay abreast of changes, communicate in real time, and ensure there is never a gap in care.
Juniper Glen takes pride in offering our memory care staff the training and development they need to not only care for, but also empower, our residents to lead independent and enriched lives. Both classroom and hands-on training — designed specifically for caregivers in the memory care setting — are required upon hire and continue on an ongoing basis. This ensures two things:
1. Basic concepts and best practices are refreshed at least annually, and
2. New research and innovations are considered and incorporated into training for cutting-edge care.

Memory care at Juniper Glen starts at $7,000/month, with flexible pricing based on individual needs. The cost includes a private, semi-private, or luxury private suite, chef-prepared meals inspired by the MIND Diet, assistance with daily activities like bathing, grooming, and medication management, housekeeping, and access to customized dementia care programs such as HOPE BLOOMS™ Life Enrichment and the Sensory Spa.
Both memory care and in-home care can be highly effective solutions for the safety risks that accompany cognitive decline. Those who choose a memory care facility realize the following benefits compared to those who choose in-home care:
• Memory care facilities must meet stringent guidelines in all aspects of care including nutrition, safety, management of medical conditions, cleanliness, staffing levels, and are surveyed frequently
• Memory care communities are designed with resident safety in mind, which means slip-resistant flooring, handrails, larger bathrooms and bedrooms, and the removal of safety risks (like stoves).
• Memory care communities are secure so your loved one is protected from the risks associated with wandering.
• While Meals On Wheels can provide one meal per day for in-home residents who qualify, memory care residents receive three well-rounded meals and snacks every day.
