A family friend who recently passed lived at Glen Crest for several years. We visited quite often. She was very happy and comfortable living there. The apartments are very generous in size plus they offer storage, if needed in another part of the facility. The building is very clean and comfortable. Car service and housekeeping are available, if needed. The food is good and everyone that I met was very nice. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. Some activities are available and they get a calendar every month. Being an independent community, they don't pressure residents to attend activities, it's up to them. What we liked also was the size of the building, not overwhelming.

I visited this facility
Glen Crest is small and nicely located, and a couple of stories high with an elevator. It was very clean and people were very hospitable. I stayed for dinner; the food was very nice, and I sat with some very nice people. It did not offer a lot of recreational or physical activities, but people played bridge. I would like to be able to go into a pool, but they didn’t have that. There, you’d have to hire someone to take care of you if you needed extra help. The facility has transportation and isn't too far from shopping. The rooms were very nice, and most of them had an outside area or balcony.

I visited this facility
My mother chose Glen Crest. It was cheaper than the other facilities. They have three floors and the rooms are pretty big. They have small tables in the dining room; we ate there and the food was excellent. They have a chef and he does a pretty good job. The staff seemed to be very friendly and the residents enjoy a good relationship with them. The residents we talked to also thought highly of the food and of the facility. A lot of the activities are resident-initiated instead of staff-initiated.
