there are not many organizations that provide as broad a spectrum of services as we do we have a hundred and thirteen independent living apartments and thirty-four assisted living apartments we began offering a Glen meadow at home program which provides home health services to people either in their apartments at Glen meadow or in the surrounding communities my name is Tim coats and I am the executive director of Glen meadow the original home was found in 1884 in the south end of Springfield and it was started because a group of Springfield citizens recognized that there was no place for quote unquote gentle women to live in their advancing years I think the history of Glen meadow there are those traditions of carrying their traditions of compassion their traditions of integrity this organization is rich in integrity for over 125 years I tell people an orientation that one of the greatest joys of this job are the relationships that we form with the people who work here and the people who live here and the people who work here that's the real enrichment I think for most of us I'm Tony and my wife died a we live here at home I'd learn about glam metal services when I got a was getting a vertical or dizzy spell or something and I talked to my doctor and he says uh Tony he says you kind of go into an emergency room and they'll take it from there and they set up arrangements to somebody stay with Dottie as long as I'm in the hospital and she was well taken care of and they made sure somebody was the liver around the clock I'm Esther Burroughs and my husband Bill and we are very happily ensconced at Grand Meadow and I can't believe how well it's turned out for us from your ears after big business we just turned the key one day and said that's it and so I came to a point where we just have to sit down and say you know what you have to look down the road we don't have a ourselves to everything here but you know we pick and choose what we want to do there's not a lot to choose from more than any other retirement community I had two couple bridge games there's plenty of bridge going on here and there are lots of exercise classes if you want their movies that you can see everybody who works here they aren't very very nice when you're always ready to say good morning and you see them in the hallway and they're friendly the help in the dining room everybody knows you by name everybody does and I can't think of any exceptions the apartments are cleaned once a week if you need anything you just pick up the phone and call the concierge desk and you know within minutes it's taken care of if you have a light bulb or something these replaced or a leaky sink you just crawl up and I'd say within 10 minutes someone's up the door I'm going to help you out and fix it for you quite a few new relationships it's like living in a big co-ed dormitory you just know everybody you have to live here to experience it the main thing is for what Dottie is they come over and keep her company watch TV weather or read read tour or something and that helps her out a lot and I feel comfortable that I can do things and I know she's covered they're very accommodating and if you have any kind of a problem you saw you got to do is call I'm really surprised that that amount of services they have available I wouldn't hesitate to call them again for anything besides that with the service of them getting out but I'm very satisfying I can't complain at all blend Minow gives me a peace of mind and that helps them off a lot you know I don't I don't worry about nothing anymore now if anything happens for me I won't be home I just checked with them they'll take care of everything and it's I'm very contented my meadow caters to the people we serve whether it be residents this building or clients in the community my number one treating each person as an individual and never to recognizing we work for them and whatever their needs are it's our responsibility to figure out how to meet those needs sometimes that can be really challenging sometimes it can be really hard to do but I think in the long run it's also a very rewarding thing to do and that's what our reputation is our reputation is around meeting people's unique needs and it really is the relationship that it's all about it's not how well someone fixes a door that's not working right it's not how well someone drives a van it's not how well someone cooks a meal and those are important but it's about the people who are behind that and the people that are involved with the person receiving the service and the respect the mutual respect that flows between those two people that makes one metal Union some of the more common themes we hear from people who live in this building is why didn't I move here sooner virtually across the board people are so delighted after they've moved in and made the choice to live here glen meadow provides the services people need in the place they call home whether it's in the house you've lived in for decades in an apartment at our Long Meadow campus or in a senior housing development or nursing home we invite you to learn more
