Glacier Hills Retirement Community
The Wellness Garden is an accessible therapeutic courtyard garden designed to provide the Glacier Hills Care and Rehabilitation patients with a backyard setting that pleases one’s sensory modes (smelling, seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and remembering). Regular garden programs incorporate the (6) dimensions of wellness (emotional, intellectual, physical, social, spiritual, and vocational). Garden features include: automatic entry doors with an overhead retractable awning, curvilinear raised (trex) garden beds with individual water spigots, adjustable shade canopies, adaptive tools, accessible ‘Whisperglide‘ swing, a vertical planting wall, a water fountain, conversational seating nodes with accessible outdoor furniture, multi-seasonal perimeter planting beds, and an outdoor sound system with satellite radio programming.
