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
At 95, I don t fear dying. Let s keep the COVID-19 pandemic in perspective.
I know many my age are afraid to die from COVID-19. But I don t. Not that I m not cautious. But attitude is a choice.

To say I’ve seen a lot in my 95 years is an understatement.
Those of us who are dang-near a century old have a few stories to tell. Just ask us. If you asked me a year ago if I’d seen it all, I would have said yes.
After all, I’ve lived through WWII, the Great Depression, Vietnam, 9/11 and multiple recessions. I’ve seen civil riots, natural disasters and decades of political discord. I watched Americans moon walk (including Michael Jackson) and the evolution of space-age computers. I dodged the Asian flu, swine flu, HIV and Ebola.
