Meals
 |
|
The fee in all levels of care
includes three meals a day plus snacks.
Independent living residents can come to the
dining room in the main building (see photos)
for all three meals, or take groceries from the
dietary department back to their apartment or
townhouse and do some of their own cooking if
they wish. Residents may also choose a food
waiver and receive a reduction in their monthly
charge. Menus are prepared under the guidance of
a registered dietitian, and special diets are
planned in accordance with physicians’ orders.
GlenWood’s meal service is provided by Aladdin
Food Management Services, Inc. of Wheeling, WV. |

care unit includes both nursing home and skilled

GlenWood’s medical director is
Dr. Charles J. Mirabile, a Princeton physician
who specializes in geriatrics. He is one of only
a few medical practitioners in West Virginia
credentialed by the American Medical Directors
Association as a certified medical director. He
visits GlenWood to check on residents nearly

appointments can be scheduled and the resident
can receive these services without leaving the
facility. |
