Glen Meadows

Everyone is so friendly! Help is always available. So many activities, daily . I looked at other retirement or senior living communities, and this best suited us. If you don't want to fix meals, you don't have to; all three meals are prepared for you. Each lunch and dinner, you have a choice of entrees, vegetables, soups, and desserts. A salad bar, salads, and fruits. Each Sunday, there is a brunch that includes prime rib as one of the meats. Several desserts, too. If you don't feel like going to the dining room for a meal, you can have it delivered to your room for free.

Great people! A place you’d want your mom and dad living!

I’m not complaining about anything! We love it here at Glen Meadows, and I thank the Lord every day for guiding us here. I just wanted to let you know what a great job Bernadette and Neal are doing here! They manage with friendliness and concern for our welfare, they fill in with excellent proficiency if another staff member is gone, especially in the kitchen and dining hall! They are available and out and about! We finally have managers we thoroughly enjoy! Thank you!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoy everything here at Glen Meadows: our large, comfortable apartment, three excellent meals a day, social activities and exercise, nearby shopping, but especially our friendly residents and employees. It meets every need and relieves us of the care and responsibilities of a house.

This is a fantastic independent living community. The food is great, and I love the weekly housekeeping. The staff is great, too.

I’m not a resident, but I interact with residents and staff weekly. Everyone seems very happy to be there. The kitchen always smells amazing, and there's always some sort of activity going on. It seems like a wonderful place to live.

We moved to Glen Meadows 1 1/2 years ago, after living in our WDM home for 52 years, we enjoy everything about it! Meals are fantastic, employees are all invaluable and friendly; many various activities and social times. Our apartment is large and comfortable, with excellent maintenance throughout the building. The location is close to all shopping needs, doctors, and the interstate. It has everything we need!😊 C Jefson

I visit this community often, and I have to say, they do an incredible job. The staff treats the residents like family, and the residents themselves always have smiles on their faces. The events they hold for the residents and for the public are very entertaining. It is resort-style living at its finest. A huge plus I’ve noticed is that you pay month to month, so there are no contracts or leases. If something comes up, it isn’t a massive headache to leave. They thank you for spending time with them. I almost wish my parents were ready to live here now so they’d be closer to me!

When you walk into this building, you’ll see nothing but happy, friendly faces! The staff is extremely helpful and personable, and the residents are welcoming and inviting to anybody walking through the community. The building is well-kept and very clean, and it is clear very quickly that the staff and the residents put lots of love, care, and attention into it. It's a wonderful place!

Everyone is so nice and helpful there. Made me feel like I was at home by just touring! I’ve looked around at several communities but this one by far has hit it out of the ballpark with their wonderful staff, yummy food, fun activities, and even their prices!

Glen Meadows staff and residents are kind and genuine. During my tour, I met many and right away could imagine living there. The food is amazing. I wish I would have known about Glen Meadows sooner but glad I found this now! So excited to make this my home. I already feel like it is.

It has been a wonderful life-changing experience for me. In addition to how wonderful the staff is here, the other residents are all so caring, supportive and friendly. It just feels like home with an extended family!

Beautiful community full of beautiful people, a great place to live or work!

Beautiful community and amazing residents!

Nice building and great atmosphere!

I love everything about Glen Meadows! This is where I would want my parents and grandparents to live. The residents and staff are amazing! This community is so welcoming and the people here make it feel like home. I love coming to work every day! Worth checking this place out if looking for resort lifestyle living 😊

This amazing senior residence was an awesome find for my dad and his companion. The complex itself is beautifully designed and built to be attractive, warm, welcoming, and ever so pleasing for residents and visitors alike. But once you are within and soaking up the beauty around you, or enjoying the fine dining (TRULY fine!), it becomes impressively apparent that it is the PEOPLE who take Glen Meadows over the top! I have often quipped, more than half seriously, that I am sure people seeking employment at Glen Meadows have to pass a superlative personality test. And IF they can prove they have amazing personalities, they are then allowed to fill out a job application. From the managers to the maintenance people, there is not one who is not smiling, accommodating, welcoming, supportive, caring, and concerned for every resident, regardless of age, abilities, or mindset. It is indeed a close-knit community and EVERYBODY is fully integrated—including family and visitors!

We found the perfect retirement community for our parents! Not only does it offer resort-style living and accommodations, but Mom and Dad will never have to be apart as they need more care. Instead, the care will come to them in their own home. The staff at Glen Meadows is a bonus and they genuinely care and look out for each resident as if they were family.

Glen Meadows is the gold standard for the independent senior living. They have thought of everything we might need or want to make life comfortable and healthy. The staff are awesome, kind and caring. Food is excellent and there are many activities available for us.

Experience comfort like home, care, and vibrant Community Life. We know because we live here and it’s a great place.

I have had experience with both living in assisted living and having a family member as a resident in assisted. My experience with Glen Meadows Senior Independent Living has been nice. Downsizing and moving is a daunting experience, but I have received a lot of help from RLC; which made it easier. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a very warm and "family" feeling at Glen Meadows.

Glen Meadows has been a perfect fit for me. The staff are all supportive, friendly, & encouraging. The food is excellent with many choices & great salad bar. Glen Meadows has a beautiful theater and many rooms for activities, a pool table, a large library, a craft room, a puzzle room, a poker table & table games. The convenience food area is open 24 hours a day in case you miss a meal or get a late-night craving.

We love living here! We can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to live here. No more planning, shopping, carrying it all in, putting everything away, cooking, serving, and cleaning everything up. All three meals are provided here every day along with snacks, ice cream, and popcorn. We even have prime rib every Sunday! All so awesome! We pinch ourselves every day and thank God that we are living here.

This is such a caring community, staff and residents alike. My dad and his companion moved in at the start of September and they have been SOOO happy! Dad’s family, all of us spread around the country, really appreciate the beautiful, bright, warm, welcoming and supportive community at Glen Meadows! The food, the environment, and accommodations are beyond compare!! 👍🤗❤️

My husband and I have lived at Glen Meadows for 4 months. It truly has replaced our aging home of 52 years with convenience, new friends, helpful and friendly employees, excellent food, and NO cooking! I enjoy having my laundry in the bathroom, our apartment is roomy with large walk-in closets, a full kitchen, and soundproof walls. We have a great group of friendly residents, so mealtime is social time if you want. Many varied activities are offered throughout the week, our favorites are the daily exercise classes, suited to everyone's activity level. With the healthful food choices available, the fitness room/exercise classes, and the long hallways for walking, it's easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle, even with a 24/7 ice cream machine available! We are truly thankful for our new home!

We have tried for many years to get my elderly father into an amenable senior residence, but have met tremendous resistance…until he found Glen Meadows, in West Des Moines. He is not only blissfully happy there, but his family is blissfully happy for him!!! It is billed as all inclusive resort style living for seniors. It is not an assisted-living or nursing facility, though they partner with companies who can provide that assistance in their apartments. The staff at Glen Meadows are amazingly wonderful, caring, friendly, supportive people! Although we have contracted with one of the partner agencies for in apartments assistance, the general staff all clearly like and are invested in Dad‘s, happiness, health, and safety. I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful setting this is! The food can only be raved about, truly, and the environment is so open, bright, cheerful, beautiful, and welcoming. They have a guest apartment that can be booked for a nominal fee, for guests of residents, and I avail myself of that as often as possible…not only to visit Dad, but to indulge in all that Glen Meadows has to offer everybody!!! Love, love, LOVE this place!!! ❤️
