MaineGeneral Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care at Glenridge is a 125-bed facility specializing in compassionate, high-quality dementia care. As a dually certified nursing home, Glenridge provides both skilled nursing and long-term care services.
Glenridge serves as the primary long-term care training site for the geriatric medicine fellowship, offering fellows a unique opportunity to follow patients longitudinally throughout their stay. Fellowship faculty members play an integral role in clinical care, serving as the primary providers for most of the patients and fulfilling the role of medical director. Faculty are present on-site five days a week, working closely alongside a highly skilled geriatrics nurse practitioner to ensure comprehensive care.
This strong faculty presence supports robust clinical supervision and a rich educational environment. Fellows will gain hands-on experience in nursing home admissions and discharges, managing complex geriatric syndromes, advanced care planning discussions, and leading interdisciplinary care teams that include physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, activity coordinators, dietitians, pharmacists, nurses, and administrative staff.
In addition to clinical training, fellows are encouraged to apply quality improvement methodologies to enhance resident care and can engage in quality improvement projects. Those with an interest in medical directorship can deepen their knowledge of practice management through ongoing, immersive experience at Glenridge.
