The Glenn Buffalo is a senior living community at 201 1st St NE, Buffalo, Minnesota, and it serves adults 55 and older who want a mix of independence, safety, and a bit of extra help when they need it. The place has options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, with a focus on faith and spiritual care-it's a Catholic, faith-based community and keeps up regular events that tend to both body and soul. The Goodman Group manages the day-to-day work, and Odom Health & Wellness handles certain care services, and the team on staff offers support all day, every day. Residents can choose from several kinds of homes, like apartments, townhomes, single-family houses, condos, and even luxury apartments, plus many of these homes have modern touches like washers and dryers, air conditioning, fitness centers, and even hot tubs, pools, or scenic patios if people want a spot to relax. Folks who have small dogs or cats are welcome, and that seems to bring some joy to the community. The operating hours run from Monday to Friday, from either 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM or 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, depending on which record you check, but the building's closed on Saturdays and Sundays, and details about leases, rent, or parking aren't listed. There's a memory care unit for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, where special programs like Gentle Touch Initiatives help keep things familiar and comforting, and staff offer therapies to reduce stress and confusion. For those who need a little help with things like bathing and dressing, assisted living staff give personalized support inside each person's own apartment home, and housekeeping, laundry, meals three times a day, and transportation come standard, which takes some worry off people's shoulders. They've got outdoor and indoor community areas designed for mingling or relaxing, along with organized outings to local places like Buffalo Lake, Music in the Park, and community luncheons, plus life-enrichment activities that help residents feel connected and active. Spiritual care, community events, and social opportunities highlight the friendly and close-knit feeling you'll find at The Glenn Buffalo. Their website, theglennbuffalo.com, might have more up-to-date details, but much information about fees, exact amenities for each home, and utilities wasn't available. All told, it's a community where seniors can find support, social connections, and chances for both quiet days and active ones, with dedicated care close by if needs change.
Friendly, homey but staff concerns
I find it friendly, homey and pet-friendly - clean, large rooms, excellent meals, lots of activities and a strong staff-to-resident ratio, so I'm excited about the care. It's more down-to-earth than upscale, and I have concerns about staff turnover, unresponsiveness (I was even told not to talk to staff), fall/safety risks including a recent hip fracture, and missing items like dentures/hearing aids/glasses. Overall a great place but check management stability and safety before committing.
