The sound of beloved carols in the air. The warm light of the menorah. The breathtaking splendor of our Christmas tree at the foot of the grand staircase, welcoming members and holiday visitors to share the beauty of the season.
We call the holidays “the most wonderful time of the year.” But here at The Glenridge, that’s more than a saying. It’s a feeling – and it surrounds you everywhere you look.
As we gather with friends, neighbors and loved ones to celebrate the season once again, The Glenridge is blessed to be home to a community with extraordinary heart, warmth and camaraderie – and that spirit makes our campus at truly magical place to live all year round:
- Volunteerism and Leadership. From dynamic leaders like Joan Sussman, Executive Director of chamber music organization La Musica … to therapy-dog-and-handler duo Linda Poulin and toy poodle Teddy, Glenridge members are highly engaged in the Sarasota community as top-level board members and front-line volunteers.
- Our members also make an impact through generosity, supporting worthy causes along the Gulf Coast – and also through our very own Glenridge Foundation. The funds donated by members support a wide range of causes – including arts and culture, scholarships, member wellness, and emergency relief for staff members affected by natural disasters or personal crises.
- Authentic Kindness. Doing good in the world is more than a principle at The Glenridge – it’s something our members put into practice every day. Once you move in, you become part of the “Glenridge family,” and that comes with a support network you can always count on.
“There’s a feeling, a magnetic culture – that you can’t convey in a brochure or on a checklist,” say members Mort and Linda Lichtman. “There’s no anxiety or worry at all. The energy and warmth we’ve felt living here are like nowhere else.”
During the holidays, the breathtaking beauty of The Glenridge’s 150-acre campus is on full display – and there’s no better time to plan your visit. Get a firsthand look at our extraordinary community: Send us a message or give our Life Planning Team a call at 941-552-5369.
