I would like to commend the staff members in memory care for doing such a wonderful (and very difficult) job. The gentle kindness and care you show the residents is beyond measure. Thank you!

Our Mom and Dad have lived at the Glenn since March of 2012. They first lived in an Assisted Living apartment and since Mom passed this year, dad resides in the Care Suites. The compassionate and caring staff, meaningful activities, true friendships and a beautiful and clean environment have all contributed to a high quality of life for our parents and much peace of mind for my siblings and me.

The Glenn is the kind of vibrant, caring senior community I'd like to live in someday. The amenities and activities are designed to involve the residents in joyful interaction...from the movie theater and activity rooms to the beautifully designed chapel. This is a place to celebrate life and use your talents and gifts in a multitude of ways. The caring staff makes you feel like an important part of the family and are always there for you when you need help. No wonder my friends are so impressed when they visit.

Bob was at the The Glenn, and it was excellent. I couldn’t ask for anything. The staff was super; when Bob died, they called us to tell us he was getting ready to die so we could be with him. It’s very beautiful. Bob has his own bathroom and shower, and the room was nice. They had little areas with fire place that you didn’t have to be with everybody; you can be alone in certain areas. The ratio was fantastic. I can’t say enough nice things. The staff really cared about the people who were there. The only thing was it was very expensive, and they do not take any aide. Bob couldn’t really participate, but they did have activities for them. They told stories, and they had an activities director that came in. The dining area was really nice, they had tablecloths at dinner time, and the food was good. It was the same food to give to anybody else.

We moved my mother here in December 2015 from out-of-state following the death of my father. There was an adjustment period due to a different care model than she has experienced before and all new people to provide her care but the staff has been very responsive to our questions and concerns. She is participating in the craft and game activities with smiles and enthusiasm and enjoying the variety of performances. I feel that she is appreciated for the qualities she brings to The Glenn Minnetonka as well. We are grateful.

My experience with The Glenn was excellent. Everything was updated, clean, and fresh. The staff was nice and manageable. It had a chapel on the premises.

My aunt just moved in to The Glenn. The main reason for choosing it is that she's in the same neighborhood where she's lived for a number of years now, so she didn't have to learn new grocery stores, post office, hardware stores, and drug stores, so it was a familiar location. It had the two-bedroom apartment she wanted. She needs help with her meals, and it had meal assistance available, plus activities and good sunlight; since she's a painter, she needed good sunlight and the extra bedroom to paint. They had some art instruction available as well, so all those things helped her select that location. They have been very helpful and had the things that my aunt was looking for.
Provider Response

We strive to offer the best services and conveniences to help make senior living as easy as possible and are happy to hear that your aunt is finding this to be true as well.

My mom was a resident at the Glenn from the day it opened 5 years ago. She started in independent living and when it became necessary, the wonderful staff at the Glenn helped us with the difficult transition into memory care. The suites are very tasteful and comfortable and the staff is professional and compassionate. They did a great job of getting to know my mom and always treated her with respect and dignity as her health continued to decline. The activities people do a wonderful job with music and engaging the residents in appropriate activities. They are very kind and professional. I would strongly recommend the Glenn for any level of care for your loved one.
Provider Response

The Glenn is a beautiful place but not necessarily a good fit for people with memory problems. It is a big facility and can be overwhelming for some residents. My mother was there for about 7 months and we finally had to move her out where she could get more hands on. She was lost there everyday. So make sure you do your homework. Assisted living is not the same everywhere, and the Glenn is not like most assisted living facility's. I learned the hard way. They do not provide any extra care without a extra charge. Staff is great there if you don't need much assistance.
Provider Response

My father moved into assisted living at The Glenn on April
18th, 2013, after a referral by a residents son and daughter. The facility is beautiful, and the staff is extremely friendly and competent. As my fathers health diminished he moved into the Enhanced Care Suites for
additional care. Inspite of his age, physical condition, and somewhat challenging personality everyone continued his care beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend
The Glenn to anyone needing Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Enhanced Care.
A very comforting and reassuring place for the family as well.
Provider Response
Thank you for sharing your experiences at The Glenn! Your comments mean so much to us as we try very hard to create an atmosphere in which our residents feel welcomed and at home, not only in the environment but also in their individual care plans, and that our families feel rest assured that their loved ones are being cared for with the upmost compassion and respect.
