It didn’t take long for Ernie and Anne Nagy to start feeling like part of the Glenridge family. In fact, they were already getting to know their new neighbors even before they moved in.
“A sense of community is so important to us, and The Glenridge gave us a number of opportunities to get to know the people who would be our neighbors,” says Anne. “So we were able to contact them, meet them for lunch, and get to know them all before we joined. We just felt like we were already surrounded by friends.”
Having a strong support network was always a priority for the Nagys, whose careers in management and consulting gave them an appreciation for the importance of taking a long-term view. Another catalyst: the experience of helping their older parents navigate sudden health challenges.
“We are very aware of how unexpected change can come into life, and we’re both planners,” says Anne. “We wanted to take charge of our future, because we know the stakes.”
The couple did plenty of research to explore their options and find the best fit. But when they tallied up the results – with healthcare, lifestyle and community all factored in – both Ernie and Anne agreed: The Glenridge was where they wanted to be.
“Everything is here, soup to nuts,” says Ernie. “We have not had one day of regrets.”
Since moving in, the Nagys say life at The Glenridge has lived up to every expectation, and then some. “We’ve made more friends in six months – I mean, really close friends – than anywhere else we’ve lived,” says Ernie. “Everybody’s here to enjoy life and support each other.”
Adds Anne: “It’s given us peace of mind, security and dependability. People look out for each other, and anything you need is right on campus. You can’t put a price on that sense of comfort.”
The bottom line? When you move to The Glenridge, you’re part of a family. A circle of friends. A support network. A close-knit neighborhood united around shared values and traditions. And that comes with something truly special: a feeling of deep connection and total confidence in the future.
