Everyone is very friendly! They are like family.
My dad has the studio and its perfect size. Very accessible. Laundry is very accessible, central dining room isn't too far away. I would absolutely recommend IV of Traverse City to others looking.

My loved one is younger than the average resident but she's adjusted so well and we consider this place a true blessing. It's been amazing for my mom. Not perfect because there isn't a place that's perfect, but perfect for my mom!

Warm and Welcoming - Highly Recommend
My mom's recovery from a broken ankle led us to Glen Eagle. They offered a short-term apartment with supportive care staff and accommodated pets. The studio's back door offered convenience for her dog’s needs.
During her stay, my mom appreciated the warm, welcoming staff and the opportunity to socialize - and so did her dog!
However, a couple of issues arose:
1. A resident above inadvertently caused a hindrance by discarding bread near my mom's outdoor door, making it challenging with her wheelchair-bound status -- her dog consumed the bread and briefly fell sick.
2. While the dining experience offered varied and delicious meals, my mom noted a shortage of her preferred salads and green vegetables. The tempting desserts posed a bit of a challenge, but no complaints!
Overall, Glen Eagle provided a supportive environment conducive to my mom's recovery. Despite the minor inconveniences, the facility's amenities, caring staff, and pet-friendly policy made it a positive experience.

Your next fabulous chapter
My mother is currently a resident at Holiday Glen Eagle and everything has been great for her at this facility so far. The housekeeping for an individual apartment is fine. The meals are good. They offer a nice variety and also have a Chef on site. The move in process was easy for us. I would 100% recommend Holiday Glean Eagle to family and friends! We're very happy with them!

Review for Holiday Glen Eagle
It was recommended by A place for mom who had recently placed others there who had gone through aid and attendance process and were happy. I had toured it a long time ago with my dad and perfect location and great reputation. It's been absolutely awesome! My mom lost her husband in July and my sister and I were so worried about finding a safe place for her closer to me and Glen Eagle has been absolutely perfect. My mom loves it. She talks about how cozy her apartment is and how kind and friendly the staff and other residents are. Glen Eagle was a miracle for my mom!

Review for Holiday Glen Eagle
Price, inclusive care available. More home apartment like living instead of hospital like setting. The people are so caring and attentive to my dad for the short time he was there. He passed away in September. I would recommend to others.

Review for Holiday Glen Eagle
Glen Eagle feels like home. It's very laid back. Meals are good, staff is friendly and I love my apartment. I came from another complex that I didn't trust. "A Place for Mom" advertised and I called the number. She set up an appointment with Glen Eagle for me. I came here and looked at the 1st apartment and then 3 others. I was sold on the 1st apartment. The people are very friendly, the food is good and I can have all the privacy I want. I love my apartment and love where it's located in the complex. I am very blessed for "A Place for Mom"

A Nice Community
We really appreciated how accommodating the staff members were during our loved ones' move-in and finding the correct room for her that would work best for her and her dog. Being a pet-friendly facility was a big factor for us. They have a lot of different activities going on all the time, they have fun in-house activities as well as day trips - they go to different shops, and restaurants and during the holidays they went to look at Christmas lights. Based on our experience we would have no problem recommending Holiday Glen Eagle to other families.

Reasonable stay but bad at the end.
After unfortunate circumstances that forced a close relative to leave because the room was not safe to inhabit, management agreed to refund the days he couldn't stay. They delayed for weeks, and then payed only 5/8 of the amount agreed on, in spite of about 20 reminders, defaulting on the rest. Very shabby treatment all in all, and the experience in total left an ugly final impression.

It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. My mom is very happy there. Everybody is very friendly. Glen Eagle was just a great, great fit. The apartments are beautiful. We toured several places before we made the decision and are happy with our choice. The food was a little iffy for a while, but now that they have a new chef, it's perfect. She's vey happy, and we've very happy as well. I would recommend them to anyone.
