The Glade is an on campus adult day center created in 2006 to provide Glenaire residents and people from the Cary community who are living with the early stages of dementia and/or other age related challenges with a place to spend their day. We are a social model day center for individuals ages 62 and older who are in need of socialization, stimulation and structure. The spontaneous laughter and positive conversation combined with the talents and caring nature of our staff create the core of what makes The Glade a special place.
