Glacier Hills is all about the money. They could care less about peoples health from my point of view. My opinion is they have knowingly exposed workers and residents to harmful asbestos on many occasions. From my point of view they knew it was there and dangerous but choose to not disclose it to the workers or the seniors living there and allowed it to be removed causing exposure to workers and residents with no safeguards. They were investigated by the state and had 4 serious violations for this and and settled it. They continued to risk exposure after this investigation from my point of view. You can go to OSHA and look it up under inspection #1711873.015. Report # 0552651. Citation ID #'s 01001A, 01001B, 01001C, 01001D.What do you like most about living here? Answer: I would not live here due to health risk Are there enough caregivers to handle the residents' needs, especially during emergencies? Answer: Yes Are the common areas pleasant and comfortable for socializing or relaxing? Answer: Yes How would you rate the quality and variety of the meals? (1-5) Answer: 4 Are special diets handled well? Answer: Is the dining schedule flexible enough to meet your preferences? Answer: How do you feel about the level of social interaction available with other residents? Answer: How was the units offered in this community? Answer: Do you feel safe living in this community? Answer: How well do you think the community handles emergencies or unexpected events? Answer: Are there any hidden fees or unexpected charges?
