Management was as pleasant and as helpful as it could possibly have been, and the move would have been slow and frustrating without this help.

On the other hand - once we found a condo we wanted to rent we trusted him and paid him over $100 in application fees and then all of a sudden the Condo owner pulled out and he did NOT return the money to us.

The management here is…read moreincredible is one of the reasons I kept coming back to see the apartment I really wanted to rent:) The buildings are very clean and quiet and honestly even the neighbors are super friendly:) The area surrounding the buildings are gorgeous all the residential houses make it so safe and easy to take a stroll around the neighborhood on really nice days. I love my apartment it's so perfect and the natural light that I get inside is crazy beautiful:) there's so many parking spots you never have to worry when having guests come over no matter the time of day. We're also surrounded by so many stores and restaurants that you could walk to them or drive a minute or two. Honestly such a wonderful place to live with a built in gym and pool if you're really into that as well:)

Hi all, My review is…read morefor when I lived in the 55 building. Honestly, I couldn't have been happier in my place.

I would have stayed but had to move. So thanks!!

My sister Sandra moved into Chestnut Square at The Glen in August of 2023. We had done quite a bit…read moreof research and looked at three or four other communities in the region that were nice, but we ultimately chose Chestnut for a variety of reasons. First and foremost were the staff and residents. They were all some of the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. Not only were they warm and friendly but extremely helpful and very competent, as well as accommodating. The food was excellent, and the entire building was very clean, well-maintained, and quite attractive. There was plenty of programming and amenities both at Chestnut Square, as well as a short walk away in The Glen Town Center. Just across the street is a beautiful natural area with paved paths, a lake, shops, and plenty of places to explore. During her time at Chestnut Square, Sandra made many close friends and even developed a wonderful, close, and fulfilling romantic relationship with another resident who lived down the hall. The most important thing, however, was the dedication the staff had toward the happiness and fulfillment of all the residents. It really showed how happy everyone was in the community. Pretty amazing! When Sandra's health declined and she needed more assistance, Chestnut Square was able to provide additional on-site support through its phenomenal sister affiliate, Partners in Healthcare. The caregivers from Partners treated her and her loved ones like they were their own family. This was all available in Sandra's original apartment with a very thoughtful aging-in-place model, so she wouldn't need to transfer to another floor or facility. The care was exceptional, providing her with warmth, dignity, and respect. It comes as no surprise that Chestnut Square (a non-profit organization) is driven by their dedication to residents as well as staff--who all seem to really enjoy working there. Our entire experience with Chestnut Square was wonderful and provided the whole family with tremendous peace of mind!

I am so glad i chose to move her when i did. I have progressed to needing a walker and 12hrs a day private caregivers. Both are accommodated enthusiastically here. I know that this residential community has extended my life actively. The activity calendar offers something for mind, body, and spirit every day. Location is the best with shopping and medical care within a mile or two. The decor and residential suburban settings is superb. As is the residence itself. If you need it come join our club. This is the place!!!

Unfortunately, at least an our case, the administration failed to honor their multiple promises to *ALWAYS* keep our Mom's family members up-to-date on her progress. Despite multiple requests for details, they refused to give us any, and we found out that they had made the decision to both put our Mom into the Care Center *AND TO REFUSE TO ALLOW HER TO MOVE BACK IN TO HER APARTMENT* only *AFTER* they had done so. I can think of few things more unethical, immoral, indecent, and counter to every single positive aspect of the Vi than for the administration to unilaterally move a resident into the Care Center and prevent her from moving back into her apartment without informing her children at all, let alone after promising and assuring us multiple times that we would be notified right away if her status there was *EVER* at risk of changing. I initially planned to NOT recommend that anyone put their loved ones in a position where the administration of the facility could unilaterally move their loved ones into the Care Center and prevent them from moving back into their apartment without notice, but I realize that not everyone in a corrupt administration stays in their position forever; thus my context-specific recommendation of Maybe. My advice? If considering having your loved ones move into the Vi At The Glen, you should first insist that the administration sign a document stating their obligation to *ALWAYS* and *IMMEDIATELY* keep your loved one's family members apprised of any change in status and the reasons therefore so no one else has to suffer the way the administration made us suffer upon discovering their cowardly subterfuge regarding our Mom (and if they won't do so, then our firsthand experience suggests that you should *RUN* in the opposite direction). No one should have to ever be put through the emotional wringer we were put through by the unfathomable callousness of the current Vi administration, and to be clear, my 1-star review reflects only that aspect of our experience with the Vi At The Glen.

After 20 years in the VI's independent living, our 97 year old mom recently experienced a…read moreprecipitous decline in her health. After a hospital stay the week after Thanksgiving, the Vi had her spend time in skilled nursing to ensure she can safely resume independent living. We determined that a move to assisted living would be best and fortunately, an opening in assisted living was coming available. She is now successfully moved into assisted living thanks to the attentive care and attention to detail provided by the entire staff during that transition. Prior to the move, our mom was apprehensive about losing her independence in skilled nursing and assisted living. However since experiencing the care provided in both skilled nursing and now in assisted living, she is very pleased with the move. The staff not only ensured a smooth physical move, but they have spent extra attention to ensure she integrates with the residents in dining, exercise classes, art activities and more. Whenever I off-handedly ask a staff member about any question, I later receive a phone call from a nurse, therapist, or social worker making sure that I received a sufficient answer. I've been beyond impressed by the professionalism and level of care in assisted and skilled nursing. The Vi has truly impressed me and lived up to a standard that I didn't think existed anymore in the "nursing care" segment. I would highly recommend the Vi for anyone evaluating independent living options. The value that the Vi provides throughout a person's lifecycle is impressive. The care and level of support in not just daily living but during times of transition (when the help is really needed) is delivered in a personable and caring way. The Vi may not be the low price alternative, but if you are looking for quality in care, the staff, the culture, facilities and services, I cannot imagine another facility topping the Vi at the Glen. I appreciate it more now than I did before as they have delivered on what I had always hoped would still exist in today's profit-focused world.
