What a beautiful way to experience fall in Iowa! 🍁🚂 Our latest field trip took us to new heights!

Our residents took a scenic trip aboard the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad, where we enjoyed beautiful views of the Des Moines River Valley dressed in its autumn colors!

The highlight of our journey was crossing the famous Bass Point Creek High Bridge, towering 156 feet above the valley below!
We’re already looking forward to our next outing! If you’d like to learn more about our community and the adventures we share, we’d love to welcome you in for a visit! 😊

It's the season for spooky costumes, haunting decorations, and hair-raising horror movies! 🎃👻 But when it comes to retirement living, nothing is scarier than a lifestyle that doesn't fit your needs.
Take the fright out of retirement living with 24/7 support, delicious chef-prepared dining, engaging activities, and plenty of opportunities to stay active and connected.
The only thing scary about all-inclusive retirement living is how much you'll love it! 🎃

Bingo in a whole new light! 💜✨

While we love the classics, we’re always looking for ways to change things up every once in a while, so we transformed our lounge for a night of Cosmic Bingo! The same game we know and love, but a whole new experience, and our residents were glowing!

At Glen Meadows, the next experience is always just around the corner. Come see what we’re up to next!

One of our favorite spots on Main Street is our community puzzle table! 🧩 Residents stop by to add a piece or two, while others just enjoy seeing the progress.

It’s a simple little thing that brings us together, and we love that! Stop by and add a piece anytime! 😊

Glen Meadows has officially kicked off our Pen Pal Program with a local elementary school! 💌

An entire class of students has been paired with our residents, who were absolutely thrilled to receive their first letters this week!

We’re so excited to watch these friendships grow through every letter exchanged, leading up to an in-person meet and greet! There is so much we can learn from one another, no matter our age, and we love creating opportunities to bridge generations and build meaningful connections.

This is just one of the many ways we bring our community together! Stop by for a tour and see what life at Glen Meadows is all about! 😊

There’s something special about feeling truly at home. 💚
A place where you can be yourself, spend time with friends, enjoy the things you love, and leave more of the everyday responsibilities behind. That’s retirement living that feels like home—only better.
Come experience it for yourself!
