What this means for your family

The Vi at the Glen is widely praised for its resort-like atmosphere, high-quality dining, and seamless transitions between levels of care, making it an excellent choice for independent living. However, families considering the memory care unit should conduct a thorough tour and ask specific questions about staffing ratios and safety protocols, as there have been isolated but serious reports of care concerns in that specific area.

“VI AT THE GLEN is a highly-regarded continuing care retirement community that residents and families frequently compare to a luxury resort or cruise ship. Reviewers consistently praise the attentive, professional staff, high-quality dining options, and the ease of transitioning between independent living and higher levels of care. While the vast majority of feedback is glowing, a small number of critical reviews highlight concerns regarding potential bait-and-switch contract practices and reports of inadequate care in the memory care unit.”
