Overall impression from the reviews is strongly positive. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize high-quality care, a broad continuum of services, and an extensive set of amenities. Many comments describe The Glebe as a top-of-the-line, newer facility with attractive grounds and mountain views; residents generally seem happy and reviewers reported pleasant interactions during tours. The combination of multiple care levels (assisted living through total care) and statements that pricing "includes future care" contributes to an impression of comprehensive, long-term planning and security for residents.
Care quality and clinical services are consistently praised. Reviews call it a "total care" facility with top-notch care, and they specifically highlight an on-site physical therapy department, fitness programs, a gym, and a new salt-water pool. These references suggest the community supports both rehabilitation and ongoing wellness options. The availability of shuttles and structured fitness services indicates attention to mobility, access, and preventive health as part of the living experience.
Staff and management receive positive marks in multiple reviews. The staff are described as large, friendly, pleasant, and helpful; tours left a favorable impression and personnel were noted as professional. Maintenance and housekeeping are called out as reliably handled, and several reviewers appreciated that maintenance tasks and property upkeep are covered, which reduces resident and family burden. These operational strengths reinforce the perception of attentive management and day-to-day reliability.
Facilities and amenities are a major strength. The property is large and described as beautiful and well-kept, with multiple reading areas and a variety of on-site options: multiple dining venues (casual, formal, bar), hobby spaces (wood shop, sewing/knitting/painting rooms), a thrift shop, bike rentals, and cottages or on-campus housing alternatives. Housing descriptions are mixed but often positive — many rooms are noted as nice, with fully equipped kitchens and regular housekeeping, and some reviewers cited decently sized apartments. The presence of multiple recreational and creative spaces supports a vibrant, active community life.
Dining is a standout but nuanced. Many reviews praise the dining as excellent with restaurant-style service and a very good menu; multiple dining venues and a beautiful dining area were specifically mentioned. The community also offers takeout and delivery options. However, at least one reviewer observed the takeout or to-go food looked unappealing, indicating that while in-restaurant dining is strong, off-premise meal presentation or packaging may be an area for improvement.
Activities and social life are prominent positives. Reviewers frequently note numerous events, lots of activities, and a full calendar that includes fitness classes, crafts, and social outings. The availability of creative hobby rooms and group opportunities (painting, sewing, wood shop) plus amenities like bike rentals and a thrift shop contributes to a sense of an engaged community where residents can pursue varied interests.
The most consistent concerns relate to cost and space. Several reviews call housing "expensive" and reference high monthly fees, particularly for cottages and on-campus houses. Some respondents also described rooms as small or felt that pricing was high relative to room size. These comments indicate that while many reviewers felt the overall value (especially given the breadth of services and future-care pricing) was positive, affordability and perceived space per dollar are important potential trade-offs for prospective residents.
In summary, the aggregated reviews paint The Glebe as a well-regarded, full-service senior living community with strong clinical and wellness offerings, a broad array of amenities, and a staff that leaves positive impressions. The facility's scale and range of options—multiple dining venues, robust activities, rehab and fitness facilities, hobby spaces, and housing choices—are major selling points. The primary caveats are cost and occasional remarks about smaller room sizes and the presentation of takeout meals. Prospective residents and families who prioritize comprehensive services, numerous on-site amenities, and long-term care security are likely to view The Glebe very favorably; those with tighter budgets or who prioritize larger in-unit living space may want to probe pricing and floor plans more closely during tours.
