Anam Glen

Nurses are great they all pay great attention to the patients food service is great The cleaning crew is great the the group that helps with bathing and dressing and they all take care of them and very sanitary they also help you with switching to hospice or different medicines and tell you what you need to know about how they feel and how the doctor feels everything is really great here I think we made our best decision to put her here no complaints whatsoever food is excellent they always give them snacks they try to keep them up all day and entertain them or challenge them to think with word games puzzles etc everything's perfect We like the tour and realized that ain't him loan has two buildings one has a larger group and one has a smaller group we prefer the smaller group cuz my mom was having trouble hearing and too much noise to too much distraction would scare her so we'd like that part One of the directors at a rehab facility highly recommended this place because of the memory care and the food and everyone maybe five people that I've met through the year or two through my friends with their parents going through this a few of them put their parents here and they thought it was also great at the time all facilities were full so we decided to put her on a waiting list to get into ainaem and then luckily one opened up and she's been here ever since. They are real good handling personal hygiene which is very important to us also

My mom is always clean and well cared for. Many activities are not appropriate for individual with memory issues. Bingo is a regular activity and only a couple of residents can play without significant help. All Memory care is extremely expensive. Our experience at Anam has been mostly positive. However, I think many staff members coral benefit from continued training on effective communication with memory care.

We are thrilled with the care our mom is receiving at Anam. We would highly recommend them to anyone with a loved one living with dementia.

I was referred to Anam Care while struggling to find quality care for my Mom who had Dementia. We scoured Chicagoland without success for the very specialized care she needed (she wasn’t the easiest patient). Rockford wouldn’t originally have been on my radar but after speaking to [name removed] (who truly listened and understood our challenges) and then touring the Home, I knew Anam Care was 100% worth the drive . The staff at Anam took such great care of Mom, where other Care facilities just didn't. The Anam staff are the most sincere, caring and respectful people who provide for their residents’ dignity. They are like a family and really work hard. Mom was given the dignity she deserved—was toileted frequently so that she was able to maintain a better quality of life—-not relegated to being bedridden and incontinent. The meals are good and activities are spot on to engage these folks. I felt relief for once and had confidence that Mom was being cared for so well. Anam was a blessing!!

The community is small, well staffed. They really understand of the needs of residents with memory issues. When I visit my loved one it is just like coming to nice homey living room.

I loved what I saw on our tour of Anam Care of Rockford. The people were friendly. The place was clean. It just wasn't as ideal of a location for our family.

Anam was a beautiful place for my mom to live. She developed dementia at too young of an age, so transitioning to memory care was hard on everyone. The staff made it easier for all of us, including my mom. Their approach to individualized care and creating a real community, honors each resident. From celebrating holidays, birthdays, garden parties to simple gatherings on the secure outdoor patios, my mom found daily joy. Above all, the staff ensured my mom had a healthy quality of life and never felt isolated or alone. We are grateful every day for her care and love seeing how the Anam community lifts up their residents and their families.

The staff are all friendly and we do really like them. The care they offer and provide is good given everything the community has gone through this past, she receives really good care. Our loved one is really happy with the activities, and they let us know what all things she is participating in.

My partner was there 19 months and never had a sore, which was remarkable. He was well cared for. They were so friendly. The food was really great. His room was really big. It is a small community which was great. You could sit outside and watch the birds in the tree. The residents were always around people.

My loved one lives here currently. The staff seems to be good. They call all of the residents by name, which I think is a big thing. The food is fine, they seem to serve good meals and it always smells good. I’ve got no complaints about the cleanliness. They have an exercise group, games that everyone can participate in, TVs, and programs that they invite the families to. I chose this place because I like the fact that the building is small and I like the security. People can’t just come and go as they please, they have to be buzzed in or out and I like that. I really have no complaints about this place in general.

My mom is at this community. We are not happy that there is no communication. We have had to pay for extra care and it has been difficult. We have been trying to get the community to return our calls. The community was nice .and she did like the activites. This community lacks areas of communication and informing family members of what is paid for. I highly suggest that families ask alot of questions from the staff.

Although dad past only a few weeks he was at Anamcare, I couldn't be more pleased with our choice. BERNEY (OWNER) knew just what dad needed when we walked in. The staff was excellent and always took the time to talk with us about his needs. Thank you Anamcare

From the very first visit we felt the love. This facility offers an amazing level of care while nurturing each resident. Staff is extremely responsive and patient with all our questions and concerns. Please take the time to call and visit Anam Care/Anam Glen before looking at any other home for your loved one.

I was not able to have any appointments on Thurs the 10th. I was told the appointment was for Wed at 3:30. My sister and I made the Wed appointment and Bernie was very gracious and was able to meet with us even though the appointment date & time were altered. We are very impressed with Anam and their approach in working with Alzheimer's residents.

Our loved one lives at Anum Glen, the newest building at Anum Care. When we were deciding about a community, Bernie, the owner called me and answered all my questions. She truly cares about her residents and is very knowledgeable about dementia care. The care by the staff is exceptional, everyone is treated with dignity and respect at whatever stage they are experiencing. The staff is trained in memory care techniques. The setting is like a family home with a shared living and dining space and individual bedrooms. The bathrooms are across from the bedrooms and are well lighted, spacious and accessible. I was very impressed with both Bernie and Glen, who is the Executive Director of Anum Glen. The day we moved our Mom in, Glen sat chatting with us so that he would get to know both our Mom and our family. Any anxiety that I had over the move completely disappeared. We are extremely pleased with the care that Mom is receiving. She is happy, and says that the food "is just like Grandma cooked," a high compliment indeed! I no longer have to worry about her wandering outside and getting lost. I live over 2,000 miles away and will visit several times a year. in the times in between my visits I know that Mom is receiving extraordinary care. The communication from Anum Glen is excellent. As you can probably tell, I highly recommend this community.

very nice

I love the friendliness and family feel of the place. I'm not happy with how tired some of the aides seem. We chose Anam because the atmosphere was very homey, does not have a nursing home feel, could get a private room, and it's not too big, just the right size.

Many options available- smaller Home, 14 bed Also offer adult day care

We really like that this community is small and all the people know each other. We really like that for my loved one feels more like home. They also offer a day program that my loved one attends and has made a lot of mew friends there. Also I like that the place is always spotless.

The community Anam Care provided great services for my mother. The staff were friendly and communicated well. This place was clean and up-kept. Meals were healthy and the portions were good. During the time my mother resided here their overall services and the staff were great.
