Gardening plays an important role in the lives of many seniors, so we offer an abundance of opportunities to plan, purchase, plant, grow, and harvest. Some meals are even served with fresh produce grown by residents themselves!

Cooking Club

What's Happening

Cooking Committee

Seniors at our community are passionate about food. That’s why we offer the opportunity for residents to support in the way that best suits them, whether it’s setting the table or assisting the Chef with a signature dessert.

"The environment at Glen Oaks is very friendly and very caring. They are very attentive to the needs of the residents and tend to them right away. The community is clean, updated, and inviting for families. It’s a lovely home away from home."
