  • Special Comment: Our success (and the reason residents and family members alike love our communities) is due to our award-winning SPARK care program. This research-based approach is inspired by Montessori Methods and is key to providing life-changing services to residents. SPARK focuses on engagement, a social lifestyle, and inclusion within the community at large. The SPARK method is based on the teachings and research of Maria Montessori and Dr. Cameron J. Camp and is proven to significantly increase engagement, improve skills and give a sense of meaning and purpose to all despite deficits. Our communities utilize special assessment tools which go beyond traditional healthcare assessments to focus on what the person can do, rather than what they cannot. SPARK places ultimate focus on supporting our residents’ ideas, choices, and independence. We empower residents to create a community that speaks to them. Our staff foster the natural spark within each individual by encouraging new ideas and helping to make these ideas a reality.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My dad is now at Glen Oaks. The main complaint that we have there is the call button. It is not always registered, and it could be hours before they make it to your room. The staff members are fine; it is the equipment that is not working. I think my dad is OK with the food. Usually he is in his room or sitting out in the lobby area, but I haven't seen him participating in any activities. One time he said he did an exercise class but I don't think he is consistent with participating in the activities. The place is clean.
