My mother lived in the Towers for seven years. She enjoyed the activities and made close friendships with two other residents. They went to Mass, dinner and activities together. The staff were very kind and focused on her interests. My mother is an avid bird watcher. The staff and other residents organized a small, charming garden near the patio with plants and bird feeders where residents could bird watch. As my mother's needs increased, the staff worked closely with me to add services in order to keep her life safe and happy. The aides who workrked with her paid attention to her needs and preferences and always communicated with me the ways we could best support her. The nursing staff was always alert and followed her needs closely. I greatly appreciated their steady communication with me.
When my mother moved to memory care, I depended on the support and the expertise of the the staff. The aides who care for my mother are very attentive and have arranged for phone calls with mother every day. I can tell her what is scheduled, when I will visit and what will happen each day. The entire staff responds quickly to my calls and is always responsive.

My mother lived at The Glenn-Hopkins for just over four years. We visited about a dozen different senior living arrangements before we made our choice. Besides the very pleasant surroundings, the primary reason we chose The Glenn was Mom’s ability to attend daily mass. She started in an independent apartment and as her needs changed she moved into assisted living and finally into memory care.
I found the staff to be very attentive in each of these living arrangements. They kept me informed and provided guidance as Mom’s needs changed. I always felt good about choosing The Glenn as the staff would call her by name, knew what she liked and didn’t like, kept her involved in their many activities, and made sure she attended mass every day. While everyone’s situation is different, if your financial situation allows, I highly recommend The Glenn-Hopkins.

The Terraces just seemed to suit my parents' needs. So far, we're happy with it. It's nice to know that they're in a place and they have their three meals a day. If they need help at night, they can ring the button and they'll be there. They have activities there, but they haven't been able to do too much because they've got so many people coming in to give occupational therapy and physical therapy. The room they have is very nice. They were very accommodating for whatever they needed. They've had their apartment cleaned only once, so it seemed to be adequate. I had them do a little extra and they didn't mind doing that. I was satisfied.

My mother is in the Terraces. We have good experience there. I think they treat the residents nicely. They have a 24-hour nurse and I am satisfied with the type of caring she is getting. The amount of services they can offer someone impresses me. They have a lot of services and social activities. My mother is in a one-bedroom apartment, which I think is small. It is like a size of a single apartment in California divided into two. The food seems like small portions but my mother is gaining weight since she move there. However, it is very expensive and I will recommend it to others as long as they can afford it.

Our dad was a resident at The Glenn for several years. The staff brought friendship, comfort and expertise to our family and our dad, Bob. Everyone knew his name and that filled our hearts with gratitude. This community truly allows seniors to explore new friendships and activities. Highlights included going to the Twins game at the new stadium, and sitting on the beautiful patio watching with wildlife with his grandchildren, but the daily building of friendships gave our dad the feeling of home each day. He told his children many times, "Please do no make me leave this place. This is my home." And it was!

We recently moved my dad from across the country to MN so he could be close to family. It started out as a one-month temporary stay which he extended twice and then decided to move permanently. We are just thrilled that he loves it there so much! There are always people to talk and dine with and the staff, especially Lisa, have been incredibly patient and flexible. I cannot imagine a better place and am so grateful for his wonderful experience at The Glenn. He is healthier and happier, and my sisters and I are glad that he has easy access to so many services. I highly recommend this community!

We work with hundreds of locations across 15 different states with our wellness program and The Towers of The Glenn Hopkins has one of most fun and energetic groups that take our classes. The building as a whole is so beautiful and clean and the staff are so helpful. The residents are very personable and it feels like your right at home after walking into The Towers of The Glenn Hopkins. Thank you so much for being one of the best senior communities that we work with.

My Mom and Dad recently moved to the Glenn in Hopkins and their overall experience has been exceptional. The staff has been great every step of the way from the first orientations, the move in process and now the continuing support of helping Mom and Dad settle into their new home and life style. Honestly I do not think the whole process and transition could have gone any better... Many thanks to all...

Our family has had an Aunt and Uncle,Aunt and now my parents who are currently living at The Glenn Hopkins.There were many reasons why our family continued to choose this senior community.The most important one is that the staff has a great deal of compassion for its residents.They have helped us in so many ways.When you or someone in your family is looking to move into a new community, spend some time at The Glenn. Hopefully you will see and experience what our family has at the The Glenn

My parents were introduced to The Towers at The Glenn-Hopkins in 2013. They lived there for several months and then it became necessary to move them to The Terraces. As they were both approaching their nineties, their daily needs demanded additional services from the train staff at The Glenn.
Our family enjoyed having dad at The Glenn, where 17 family members could visit him often. We lost him just this past April.
The Glenn provided superior care. While he participated on his own, he enjoyed the many activities that are offered. He enjoyed being involved with the men's group, daily Mass, playing bingo and as a retired farmer, he loved his mealtimes.
After dad passed away my mother decided to move to a one bedroom apartment. She has continued to enjoy the same activities as my dad did, especially the coffee nook. The Glenn provides a very safe and nurturing environment for her.
If you are considering The Glenn-Hopkins for your loved one, you will be very pleased.

I am/was a resident of this facility
I moved to The Glenn 2 years ago, long before I expected to need their services, but at 84, and with 8 children, I thought it best to decide "what shall we do with Mother" if I became unable to decide myself in the future.
I do use the shuttle that seems to go somewhere every day. But I'm independent enough to use the city bus system to get anywhere I want to go. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the residents are friendly, going out of their way to befriend each other. I came here from Elk River (which now seems so far away) and delight in the closeness of theaters and events in Minneapolis-St Paul. The city of Hopkins has been a revelation to me. This tiny town has kept its small town feel yet has a movie, an art center with a theater for concerts and plays of all sorts, some really good restaurants, a full line grocery, a branch of the Hennepin County library and many antique and other retail stores. (Our building has its own library, too, with large-print books delivered by Hennepin Co every quarter and hundreds of our own books that residents are welcome to borrow. And it's open 24 hours a day!)
There is a Catholic Church in Hopkins,too, but we have our own chapel where Mass is celebrated almost every day.
Before I moved here I toured six other facilities and it was without a second thought that I chose The Glenn.

St. Therese was very institutionalized. We really did not take a tour. We walked in to set up the tour, and we did not like going back because of the way we were treated. It was unwelcoming. There had a security guard sitting there which kind of made me a little nervous. It looked like it was beautiful, but not when you first walk in.

Great facility, good caring staff. I have been there visiting once or twice a week for past two years and it is always clean and well maintained. The downside is the Gentle Touch medical support staff-a disappointment with their lack of professionalism and high price.

St. Therese was a very nice facility. I was quite impressed. The staff was good. But they did not had a pool and my dad needed one for his water aerobics. They didn't have all the criteria that I was looking for.

We visited St Therese Southwest and we liked it except its location seems to be isolated. The rooms were fine and their staff seemed nice.

This new facility is very well done. The Glenn has all the features a to make the place inviting for senior independent living. The grounds are beautiful. The opportunities on campus are varied enough to accommodate many different interests. Yet there is a grocery store and restaurants just a short walk a way.
My 88 year old parents moved to the Glenn recently. The staff have gone out of their way to be helpful. The dining staff are always friendly.
My parents are independent at this time. It has eased any concerns that I have had about their future living arrangements. I know that if they will need assisted living arrangements it will be a smooth transition to accommodate them.

St Therese Southwest is a newer facility in the city of Hopkins. When you initially step inside you notice the rich décor and light bright facility with plenty of windows. This is a Catholic faith based residential facility but they welcome seniors of all religions. Residents I visited there loved the gorgeous flower gardens, and the fact that pastoral care was available onsite. They felt as though they were treated with respect, and loved the fact that they could live independently while having the security of knowing that staff was available when they needed it. This is a gorgeous facility with many acres of scenic land, yet convenient to shopping. Hopkins is a very safe community with a low crime rate according to local crime reports. This is an A+ community that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for high quality placement for their senior family member. Residents who I visited stated they were grateful that the facility is so affordable.
