4.4 · 33 reviewsI will say that being here is a lot of human and I thought it would be. I never thought I would like living in a community this size, but it has been a pleasure in a lot of ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The residents are really sweet and nice. I can say that I’m enjoying it more than I thought. The price is good but high, but I guess that comes with wanting something nice. In some ways, I wish it was a little less, but I guess we get a lot for what we do get charged. The one good thing is that we are supposed to not have to fix anything. It’s been a lot better than I thought it…

What I liked about Glenmont Abbey Village was the sense of community they had. You could see there were a lot of people, women mostly that I saw that were walking around together. I like the amenities that they had, the game room, and the activities that they had scheduled. There are quite a few things that you could do almost every day of the week if you wanted to be there. You can have your social activities and not have to go out and drive or anything like that. The other thing I liked is my son lives right down the road.

What I liked about Glenmont Abbey Village was the sense of community they had. You could see there were a lot of people, women mostly that I saw that were walking around together. I like the amenities that they had, the game room, and the activities that they had scheduled. There are quite a few things that you could do almost every day of the week if you wanted to be there. You can have your social activities and not have to go out and drive or anything like that. The other thing I liked is my son lives right down the road. I didn't see any outdoor things that were available. Everything was indoors. The staff said they had a garden, but she didn't show it to me. It was raining, so that's probably why. I went inside two of the units. The units were nice and looked comfortable. I've been to places where they provide you with a storage area where you can put things. There was no storage there. You had one closet where your coats go and everything and then there was a closet in the bedroom. It was a good size. The one place I went, the elevator was outdoors, so you had your own entranceway, which I kind of liked better. This place you had to walk out of hallways and there's your room. The other thing that I didn't appreciate was, that you put your trash outside of your door on the day it's collected and they come by and pick it up and I'm like, that's nice. Then when I looked at the paperwork you have to pay for that every month that someone comes and takes your trash. It wasn't that much every month, but I didn't think that was appropriate to charge me for that.
Its a very nice, pleasant environment. A majority of the residents seem happy. The staff is not efficient. The support to coordinate medical transportation is not available. Overall it is a nice place for older residents that are for the most part independent and can live without support

I toured Glenmont Abbey Village. It was very nice, but the room they had available was just too far from the central activities, and it would be an outdoor walk for my mother-in-law. So, that just wouldn't have worked. It was a lovely place. They had great amenities. I believe they had the pool, and they had classes. The staff was very professional and very friendly. The building seemed very clean, and the room was very nice. They had a washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, and microwave.
I toured Glenmont Abbey Village. I was looking for a one-bedroom, one-bath, and they didn't have any one-bedroom, one-bath available to show me, so they showed me a two-bedroom, two-bath. The grounds are beautiful. The apartment was lovely. The people were very friendly, and the amenities were okay. I did not like the fact that they give you a price for the month for your rent and then they add another $300 on top of that for fees you have to pay monthly, which I did not care for. So the rent is not what they say they rented, which I found to be very deceiving. I asked them to call me when they had a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment available, and they told me to get on the waiting list to see it, which would cost me $500, and I said, 'No, thank you.' And that ended the tour. They also charge $3 a month for pest control and $165 for a garage. You have to pay for your own cable. You have to pay for your own gas and electricity, and they told me everything was included.
The staff at Glenmont Abbey Village are very professional, very helpful, and very friendly. It seemed to us like it's a really nice community, a place to be. It actually seemed very, very nice, very homey, and clean, but I needed something with a two-bedroom, not a one, and also I needed something on the first floor because the apartments were mainly on second floors, and I'm claustrophobic. So, I can't do elevators all the time, and I would have to do an elevator every day if I wanted to stay there. That was a downfall to me, not the place itself, except for maybe the square footage of it. Everything I saw actually was very nice, even the people that lived in the building that we saw along our way of touring the place were very friendly. They went out of their way to try to accommodate us and they kept in touch with me. I can honestly say they were amazing people.
Two years ago when I moved in to the Abbey, my experience with the previous management was poor. As a result I was never really happy here. Things changed recently when new management took over. Upon learning of my experience during a meeting, Letha, our new Manager, apologized for how I was treated and immediately made things right. Although it was far too late to do anything about the filthy condition of the apartment when I moved in, Letha promised she would have maintenance immediately take care of the repairs that were never done. She kept her word. Tylor, the new Maintenance Supervisor, did a fantastic job making all the necessary repairs, and then some, going above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the work. Kudos to Letha and Tylor!
Nice place to live!
