For years, members have been proud to say that The Glenridge on Palmer Ranch is one of the area’s best places to live. But, did you know that our employees love working here, too?
This year, our community was once again named a Great Place to Work® 2026, an independently vetted designation that recognizes workplaces where team members feel supported, valued, and treated fairly. The accolade was based in part on an anonymous employee survey where The Glenridge received a 97% positive rating.
And when employees love where they work, it shows: in superior service … an “above-and-beyond” attitude … kind and caring gestures … and lots of smiles. And Glenridge members will be the first to tell you that our employees are the heart of our community:
- “Everybody here loves their job. There are people who have been working at The Glenridge since it opened more than 20 years ago. There are generations of families among the staff – parents who work here with their daughters and sons. That kind of longevity is really remarkable.” – Don and Sue
- “When you walk around campus, all the staff members are smiling,” say members Leon and Marge. “They’re always happy. And that’s not always true in other places we’ve visited. It’s really a pleasure to be surrounded by people who are enjoying themselves.” – Leon and Marge
- “When we walk into the dining room, all the servers recognize us and call us by our first names. You feel a genuine sense of care.” – Larry and Pat
- “If anything is wrong in your home or apartment, you just pick up the phone and the loveliest staff is there to help you with everything. They really go out of their way to know you. And when you see them, it’s like seeing a dear, dear, friend. They truly become an extension of your household.” — Mort and Linda
- “The people who work here are amazing – from security to the shuttle drivers to maintenance and housekeeping. What really differentiates The Glenridge from other communities I’ve seen is the level of sincerity and the true professionalism that every staff member exhibits. You can’t put a price on that.” — Dee
From healthcare to dining to maintenance and housekeeping – and all across our campus – staff is truly like family … which makes living here very special indeed.
