My dad was fortunate enough to move here the last 9 months of his life (I wish we had moved him sooner). The 2 bedroom that we wanted had to be renovated and it turned out beautifully. I cannot say enough good things about this facility, and it is all due to the staff and house manager. From day 1, Meghan, who became his favorite caregiver, enthusiastically greeted us. From that day on, his care was exemplary. They worked with us on any issues, medical or otherwise, they made sure he ate and they showed the utmost …

My mother is on a waiting list at Boardman Lake Glens. It's an age in place. It's independent care unless you need help, and then it becomes assisted care, but you stay in the same room. There are three different buildings, and they're owned by the same people. It's very clean and it smelled good. The staff was very friendly and they were interested in what you were asking. The place itself was set up very friendly. All the rooms are at least one-bedroom. You have weekly cleaning. There's a…

I think Boardman Lake Glens assisted living is wonderful and the care is wonderful. The only problem we had is that my mom needed a step up in the care and there was a drastic miscommunication between the nurse that was on the floor and the manager of the whole unit. That was all resolved and it's going just beautifully right now again. Their rooms are gorgeous. Her room overlooks a lake. She has her bedroom, own bathroom, living room, and a little kitchenette. It couldn't be nicer for her. We're so …

My mother is moving into Boardman Lake Glens the last week of July. It was a really good tour, it was very informative, and they showed me everything -- all the different options that they had. We went over everything and I was very comfortable with it. The staff was very warm and friendly, and they also seemed to be very caring. If I had a question they answered it right away. I like the view and the size of the rooms. It's very clean, the place smelled good, everything was very well marked, and they had nice…

My mother-in-law is currently at Boardman Lake Glens. They've been very good and very caring. They keep in contact with us if she's having some issues. We liked the place because it was smaller and it had two wings, and they didn't house more than 20 people in the whole situation. We were able to visit before COVID when she first went in. We were impressed with the size of the rooms. She has a living area and a separate bedroom. Because it's smaller, we felt it would be a better fit for her. It&…

We are so incredibly grateful for the care that our parents receive through the loving staff of the Highlander building. Just last night I walked in to say goodnight to my mom right as [name removed] was tucking Mom into bed. It was the sweetest thing to observe and reminded me of how fortunate we are. My husband's parents are right across the hall. We love the level of care, the food, the attention and the compassion our parents receive. Thank you Boardman Lake Glens!
