I toured Glen Meadows Retirement Community. It was very, very nice. It was gorgeous inside, and they made the rooms look like new before each resident moved in. At that time, you actually had to purchase the apartments. It was a three-room apartment consisting of a bedroom, a living room, and a small kitchenette. Then they could move to continuing care from there. The only bad thing about it was that my father is legally blind, and he would have to make his way down this long hall to an elevator, which he could not do because he could not see. However, the place was lovely. The dining room even looked like a restaurant, with all the napkins on the table and you order what you want. The grounds were also lovely. The lady who I dealt with, she was also very lovely. It just wasn't a good fit for my dad.

In my humble opinion 24 hour home health care service should give there clients there medications , take out the trash, change the sheets on the beds, not service spoiled milk, and fill out the daily care sheets at the END of there shifts not 15 minutes after the START of a 8 hr shift . In my humble opinion for about $570 a day.

My 93 year old father was living in another local retirement community in Towson. Four years ago the price of his apartment was going up dramatically, so I decided to compare where he was living to other retirement communities. I found Glen Meadows and it was a much more affordable community. While it was price that motivated me to move him at a very healthy 89, it is obvious now that I did the right thing. First, Glen Meadows is a smaller more intimate community. The whole staff is very attentive to my father's needs and treat him with dignity and respect. When I am not in towsn, I can rely on the Executive Director to give me a call if she or one of the staff become concerned about my dad. I am able to then address the situation. It has given me peace of mind. Secondly, the food is excellent! The chef and his staff prepare meals with FRESH ingredients and no repetitive, frozen, "institutionalized" foods are served. Our family often joins dad for the delicious Sunday brunches and we have even opted to enjoy Easter brunch there instead of going out each year. Dad always says there is plenty of variety. Thirdly, the activities are numerous. Dad enjoys the movies, but there is so much more to do. Being Catholic, he also appreciates receiving communion at Glen Meadows. Also, transportation is available to special events (which are planned) or just to go shopping. Dad gets a ride to church every week. Our family is more than delighted with the move to Glen Meadows, but it is my father whose opinion matters most and he enjoys living there.
