Live a Full, Active Lifestyle at Glen Oaks Alzheimer’s Special Care Center

Glen Oaks Alzheimer’s Special Care Center won the State of Iowa Excellence Award from Family Assets for many reasons. Here are a few. The stellar SPARK program, which is based on Montessori principles, provides daily opportunities to meet friends, pursue new passions and stay engaged in meaningful ways. Seniors spend their days doing things like mindfulness exercises, special-interest clubs (books, baking and more), group games and fun events (butter sculpting and pie throwing, anyone?). They also head out to have fun outside the community, visiting incredible attractions in the area, like Living History Farms, Paragon Prairie Tower, Buccaneer Arena, Blank Park Zoo and the Merle Hay Mall.

When they’re feeling like a more laid-back day, seniors can stroll the secured outdoor spaces, enjoy some relaxation time in front of the fireplace or get a nice mani/pedi at the on-site spa.
