I have been a resident (independent) for 17 1/12 years. The community is just the right size (# of residents). The staff is welcoming and friendly, although I do not need care services, it's important to know it 's available. A resident can be as involved in the community as they whish to be. I Recommend MW!

I would highly recommend Glen Crest to others. Our overall experience with this facility was great. My mother loved their food. They had a lot of activities, but my mom was stubborn about participating in them. She couldn't remember to go. Dementia.
