We chose The Glen at Hiland Meadows since it's the one that we feel would be the best for my friend. We took the tour and it was wonderful. I would highly recommend it. They showed us the floor plans and they took us to the apartments that were being cleaned and were ready for new residents. They had a list of activities every day and it was quite extensive and very impressive. The person during the tour was excellent, did a wonderful job, and answered all of our questions.

My mother is at the Terrace at the Glen. It is small. There are 43 studio apartments. This facility is very cozy. It is spotlessly clean. Everyone is very kind and taking good care of my mother, and she is very happy. I would highly recommend it.

I toured The Glen at Hiland Meadows, but it was very expensive. The appearance of the place was excellent. The person who gave me the tour was a very nice woman who knows what she's doing. She has been with the community for a long time and was very friendly. I haven't tried the food, but it appeared to be very nice. They had a lot of activities for the residents, and transportation to the stores and other places around the area. The rooms there were also very nice.

The Glen at Hiland Meadows has everything; however, it's very expensive. All of their common rooms are luxurious and spacious. The dining area is very beautiful and comfortable. The food is delicious. The apartments are lovely and very very clean; however, for people who are moving out of their homes, they're small.
