Glen Eddy sits on 35 acres of landscaped grounds with lots of green space, putting greens, and gardens for vegetables and flowers where residents can walk on paved paths or sit outdoors on private patios, porches, or balconies, depending on whether they live in one of the 82 one- or two-bedroom apartments or one of the 16 two-bedroom cottages, and those cottages come with attached garages, gas fireplaces, built-in bookcases, cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, and their own outdoor areas. All residences have individually controlled heating and air conditioning, step-in showers with seats, solid surface countertops, fully equipped kitchens with stainless steel appliances, in-apartment laundry, on-site storage, and utilities like phone, cable TV, and Wi-Fi included, so residents don't have to worry about those details.
Glen Eddy feels quiet and homey, but it's also got a sense of activity because of their fireside lounge, art studio with lots of light and supplies, library with a fireplace and big windows, woodworking and hobby room, beauty and barber shop, and indoor heated pool with safety features and a seascape mosaic, perfect for swimming, exercise, or just relaxing, and there's always something planned on their full calendar of activities, outings, and wellness programs like EmpowerU. Residents eat meals in bright dining rooms with large windows and a brick wall, served restaurant-style by staff, and the food ranges from fine to more casual, always aiming to be nutritious.
Security and safety remain a focus, with a 24-hour security staff, emergency call systems, and daily safety checks like bed making, trash removal, and touch-up cleaning, so family members feel peace of mind that their loved ones have help in reach if they need it. Scheduled transportation takes people to appointments and shopping, while maintenance, housekeeping, linen service, and snow and trash removal keep things running smoothly and free up time for people to enjoy more social, recreational, and educational programs. Pets are welcome.
Healthcare support covers a wide range with independent living, assisted living, nursing and rehab, adult day care, memory care, and home health services, and Glen Eddy does offer short-term respite stays of fourteen days up to seventeen weeks. Residents who need extra help, such as at The Terrace at Glen Eddy, get assistance with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, or taking medicine, and skilled nursing, therapies, and case management are handled by licensed nurses and care assistants who are on duty at all hours, with podiatry, dental, psychological, and outpatient mental health care services also available as needed. Glen Eddy operates as part of St. Peter's Health Partners and keeps services in line with Medicare, Medicaid, and state licensing standards. They have a strict COVID-19 visitation policy requiring proof of a negative rapid test and masks for visitors.
The main building feels welcoming and distinctive, with a turret at the entrance, covered drop-off for comfort in winter or rain, and the lobby's elegant sitting area offers comfortable chairs, warm lighting, and ornate décor, showing off the emphasis on both comfort and safety. Glen Eddy tries to mix privacy, with well-designed private living spaces, and opportunities for lively social activity, offering residents a setting that feels both secure and open to meeting others and trying new things as time goes on.
