The Glenridge on Palmer Ranch sits on 150 acres with lakes, walking trails, upland preserves, and a pet-friendly environment that gives folks the chance to live around nature, and you'll find a real mix of living options, from elegant apartment residences like The Sandpiper, The Kestral, and The Ibis, to private single-family Club Homes such as The Flamingo and The Osprey, and there's maintenance-free living across all those choices, so people don't have to worry about yard work or repairs. The campus holds several buildings, including the Carroll Center with 59 private skilled nursing and rehabilitation rooms, therapy gyms, and activity spaces, plus you'll see the Kamberg Center focused on lifelong learning, whole-person health, and services for all ages, with a Living Well Clinic run by registered and licensed nurses available at all times. For those who need different care, there are assisted living, memory support in the Isle of Skye, long-term care, and rehabilitation services, all with private accommodations, which lets everyone find the right level of support as needs change, and the facility uses an exclusive Health Assurance Guarantee so residents can count on care when they require it. Staff are on duty every hour of the day, including highly educated healthcare professionals, and the community is licensed by the AHCA with license number 10453. The assisted living neighborhood features 47 private one-bedroom suites and 2 two-bedroom suites, with each area set up for easy daily living, such as bathing, dressing, medication help, and dining, and there are cleaning services, though some reports mention those could be better. People who enjoy staying busy can join in a strong activity program, with arts and crafts, community events, breakfast at the Kiltie, and special occasions like the Glenridge Luau, and you'll find family-friendly spots like the lounge areas, living rooms, and private dining rooms. There's a Glenridge Performing Arts Center with 260 seats along with an Art Gallery in the Theatre District, a Fitness Center that offers group classes, personal training, modern equipment, HAR-TRU® tennis courts, and a heated lap pool, and several restaurants and dining spots, like formal meals in the Hawthorne Room, pub classics at the Kiltie Grille, and cocktails at the Thistle Stop. Beauty salon and barber shop services are available on-site, and folks will notice community features like the Eagle Memorial, administrative offices, and security at the main gate. People can also check out classes at Glenridge Academy, join friends in the Village Commons with its spiral staircase, or just walk the grounds. The place follows the resort-style, Addison Mizner architectural look, and while there's art on display, the focus stays on offering a safe, active, and comfortable setting for seniors looking for independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or long-term care.

Beautiful upscale community with concerns
I experienced a beautiful, upscale senior community with stunning, well-kept grounds, many housing options (apartments, villas, standalone homes), outstanding amenities (theater, gym/pool, dining rooms, clubs, frequent performers) and a very active, caring resident community - staff often seemed attentive and crisis-ready (hurricane/COVID response, in-house medical/rehab services). The social life, maintenance, and programming are excellent, and dining is frequently restaurant-quality, but the entrance buy-in and fees are very high and affordability is a real issue. I was also alarmed by serious concerns: intrusive staff practices (repeated questioning, privacy invasions, temperature screenings), instances of unresponsiveness or poor communication with families, and reports of unethical or neglectful behavior (phone/wifi shutoffs, financial/management issues). Cleanliness and care appeared inconsistent in some accounts (reports of outbreaks, filthy rooms, ignored complaints), and separate buildings/limited assisted-living capacity can complicate daily life. Overall I think it's a lovely, top-tier place if you can afford it, but I would closely vet management, privacy policies, and care practices before committing.
