Enter Glencroft.
âAs local hospitals struggle to provide care and find enough space for patients, Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale is stepping up to the plate. Patients needing full-time nursing care for COVID-19 recovery are being redirected to a recently dedicated COVID recovery wing at Glencroft,â said Greg Sexton, a Glencroft spokesman.
An empty unit was remodeled for those needing special care.
âThe overflow quarantine unit is called Joshua Tree and offers 13 rooms designed for COVID-19 recovery. Glencroft is working with several local hospitals â Banner, Honor and Mayo â for overflow patients. Specifically trained medical staff from Glencroft care for the patients in private rooms with around-the-clock care.â
