About This Community

Welcome to The Glenmary at Evergreen!

At The Glenmary, we are a diverse and special group of people who are dedicated to providing seniors with a lifestyle that meets their personal and social needs in an atmosphere of love and care. Our staff is highly trained in their areas of expertise to address the care needs and concerns of seniors. We have some of the most dedicated and talented individuals working here at The Glenmary!

The Glenmary is one of the few gated senior communities in the Memphis area. What makes us really special is our location in Midtown Memphis, which is in one of the most beautiful, historic and accessible areas of the city. Our team is committed to providing a safe and secure upscale living environment for seniors. This includes our 24-hour concierge services that are available to all residents.

We are fortunate to offer a variety of floor plans to meet your needs at The Glenmary. We have studio, 1-, 2- and 3- bedroom apartments available across the community. Each home includes stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite counter tops! We offer you a variety of sizes ranging from 574 square feet up to 1221 square feet!

The Glenmary is located in the Vollintine Evergreen National Historic District. We have our own private locked entry gate onto the Vollintine & Evergreen Greenline that is a 1.7 mile urban greenspace converted from an old railroad track. The Greenline provides a natural, serene space for members of the community and beyond to exercise, walk their dogs, observe wildlife, or even visit with fellow users of the Greenline. From “The Springs” to “The Arbors” to “The Gardens” to “The West End,” you can get to know the different sections contained of the Greenline, Midtown Memphis’ Urban Forest.

Award winning housekeeping services are provided at The Glenmary as part of the living experience in our community. Our housekeeping staff will come to your apartment every other week to clean bathrooms, dust, vacuum carpets and mop hard wood floor surfaces. Your service also includes sanitizing your kitchen and we will wash and dry your bed linens and towels. Some other highlights of our community include our Country Store just off our Grand Lobby where you may purchase snacks, drinks and personal care items and charge them to your apartment.

Our residents like to use our Grand Lobby for relaxing and socializing with our guests, staff and other residents and it is a busy area with family and friends stopping by. We have a beautiful Bistro and Library available to our residents just off the lobby. Here we offer complementary coffee and cappuccino all day while our residents relax, visit and enjoy our media area. Our residents also access the free Internet in the bistro using one of our computers. On any given day you can find a group of ladies playing Bridge or a group of men playing Poker in our Bistro! We have a beautiful Hair Salon that is one of the most popular places in our community. Our Beauticians provide a full service beauty shop for the ladies and barber services for men. All you have to do is stop by or call, make an appointment and our staff will be glad to take care of you!

All residents have their own mailboxes that will allow them to check their mail at any time in the convenience of our building instead of going outside. Each mailbox matches an apartment number and becomes part of the resident’s mailing address. If a resident needs to send mail, they simply bring it to the Concierge desk and we will make sure the Postman picks it up. If you have packages arriving via UPS or FedEx, our Concierge staff will sign for them and let you know that you have a package waiting for you downstairs.

If you don’t feel like cooking tonight in your apartment, you can always join us in the dining room. We serve 3 delicious meals a day, restaurant style, prepared by our Executive Chef and his staff. There is always a choice of entrees to choose from along with our daily specials. We also offer our residents the Midtown Room, which is a private dining room for special occasions with family and friends free of charge.

One of our unique features is our in-house movie theater for planned movie nights, arts appreciation and special sporting events. It’s not uncommon to find our theater packed for the Super Bowl, the Academy Awards and other special programs that appeal to our residents. The Parkway Club is another wonderful place in our community that has a dance floor and a stage where we host bands and live entertainment throughout the week. We also hold a regular Happy Hour each Friday afternoon where we serve snacks and an open bar. The residents look forward to this social hour every week! We also use this room for bingo parties, auctions, birthday parties…the list goes on and on… Residents also rent this room out for private events such as weddings, family parties, baby naming and special events. There are lots of activities to choose from when you live at the Glenmary!

Many of our residents enjoy our fully equipment fitness center that is available for our residents and their guests. This gym is also a great place for physical and occupational therapy needs when our residents return home from a rehabilitation stay. Our crafts room is where our Activities Director and staff gather with residents to do arts and crafts projects. Their works are displayed around our community and inside the resident’s home.

The Glenmary is one of the few senior communities that have an outdoor pool and cabana for their residents. This is a great place to being grandchildren, join a water aerobics class or just float awhile in the comfort of your very own backyard pool! Our Activities department will also use this area for our annual Beach Party and other social events using our cabana club house kitchen and grills.

The Glenmary has an Assisted Living community housed on two floors within our building. For those residents living in this part of our community, we provide medication management, meals, wellness checks and other support services to allow them to live as independently as possible. Our Assisted Living community is led by a nurse and we offer 24 hour nursing oversight for these residents. For the most part, our Assisted Living residents participate in all community activities but there are also some special things that take place dedicated to these residents. Our Activities team can be found in Assisted Living every day providing numerous activities in a smaller setting so that these residents can remain fully engaged and participate in our community.

At The Glenmary, we have a fleet of three buses that we use to escort our residents out into the community. Our transportation team can take you to the doctor or to shop at local establishments so there is no need to have a car while living at the Glenmary. Our buses run regular routes to the local malls, restaurants and community events.

My brother is at The Glenmary at Evergreen independent living, the place is good. He's doing ok there, they're nice and accommodating, and they helped us out a lot. His room had a balcony, and a walk-in closet, and the appliances were nice. He's not a big fan of the food. He has several medical problems and needs to be on a special diet, and at one time they were serving mac and cheese when he can't eat that. I called and talked to the staff, but they said that all he had to do was let them know and then they will send him a special meal. But he tried to let them know, so that's the only thing. They have a lot of activities.

I will be moving into The Glenmary at Evergreen. I'm very satisfied so far. I chose it because of the price. Everything I need will be there. There are other people there around my age to get to know and to visit. They've got a lot of activities going on to keep me busy. I'm looking forward to the move. I really didn't meet too much of the staff, but the ones that I met were very nice. They seemed to care about what my concerns were, and they answered all my questions. They have card games and different things going on.

I went to see The Glenmary at Evergreen yesterday. I was looking for independent living and I noticed that there, it was a mixture of independent and basic care. One thing that I noticed was that the place had so many levels to it. I think it was something like 11 or 12 floors and I would have nightmares. As for the facility itself, it was nice. There's even a swimming pool there. I just always have a problem with heights. It was a nice little place and the only problem I had was the multiple floors.

The one I liked most is The Glenmary at Evergreen, but they didn't have any openings. They have independent living and then they have a couple of floors of assisted living. I liked the place; I really did. The woman that took me on the tour, I really liked that. That only thing is that, when I called back, she never returned my call. I really wanted to be put on the waiting list at that time. The third time I called, the person wasn't there, and they said, "Can I send you to her voicemail?" and I said, "I've called already and she's never returned my call. I just wanted to ask her about any openings or if I could get put on the list." And the woman said, "Well, we don't have any openings right now, I can tell you that." So that's the only thing, I'm just really disappointed because that was my first choice. It's an older building, but it appeared to be very clean. The room I looked at was just a one-bedroom, but it had plenty of room. It had a nice-sized balcony, and I was looking for that. It's almost like having another room, and I like being outdoors. It had a room for me to put a small kitchen table. The appliances were nice-looking. They had a theater, and they had restaurant-style dining. It was a gated community, which I like. The most important thing is that it's just right down the street from where my son and granddaughter live. The staff member took me on a good tour. She introduced me to several people. The people I delt with over the phone, the people there at the front desk, and even the residents were all very nice and complimentary.

My son is now a resident of The Glenmary at Evergreen. I like that on certain schedules, they will take him to his doctor's. The food is pretty good. There is a variety and it's warm. It's down in the dining room. It has a good physical appearance. It's all very well kept. I'm pleased with it. They've got a swimming pool and they do water aerobics in the summer. They have a girl who's in charge of things to do. Yesterday, when I went by there, they were getting ready to have a St. Patrick's party in the dining room, and the whole place was decorated for St. Patrick's. They decorate for each of the holidays, major or minor. They're allowed to have pets up to a certain extent, and my son has his dog there. The staff has been very good to my son. If he can't get down to the dining room, they will bring his food up.

The Glenmary at Evergreen was very nice, and we're considering talking to them again. I spoke with a gentleman, who was very courteous, and gave us some information. They were busy, but he gave us a very thorough tour and answered all of my questions. The place was very clean, and the staff looked very professional as we walked around. You could see that it was a professional organization. We saw cooks in the kitchen preparing food with very well-maintained stainless steel equipment. It was very well kept. There were people in some of the gathering rooms, and everybody seemed to be having a very nice time. Their rooms were clean, too. They were larger than some of the others that I've seen.

The Glenmary at Evergreen is probably where my mom is going. I visited their independent living last month. It's reasonably priced, and the neighborhood was good. It seemed like the facility was good. The staff was professional and friendly. The place is good but it's an older facility, so it could use some updating. They had a salon, a library, a movie theater, laundry areas, and transportation.

I had an in-person tour at The Glenmary at Evergreen. They were kind of hidden away. I didn't like their location. It was in an outward part of town, and they were kind of hidden away. They were doing renovations, so it was kind of a mess. I wasn't impressed. Even with the renovations, it still wouldn't appeal to me. They need to do a lot of updates in there. It was average. The staff members were OK. The staff gave me somewhat of a packet, but it left out a lot of stuff. I didn't get a lot of information on what amenities and things that they offer there. It appeared to be clean. It's an outdated facility as well, so they need to renovate and update. Some of the rooms were very big. I like the spaciousness of it, but it kind of like if you live in a nursing home or a hospital.

I did a tour of The Glenmary at Evergreen. It was OK. It didn't seem nearly as comfortable and the staff wasn't as personable as the other place. I saw the independent living. I did not tour the assisted living facility; it was still locked down. It's the only place in our immediate location that provides assisted living, so it's certainly worth looking at for assisted living. The facade seemed great.

The Glenmary at Evergreen is a little bit older but seemed nice. The staff was really nice. The food was OK, but it was more cafeteria type.

I really liked The Glenmary at Evergreen because the area was beautiful. They had different sizes and layouts for the rooms. The staff was very friendly and very thorough. They had a pool and they had transportation available for shopping, movies, doctors' appointments, outings, and trips. They've also got assisted living and nursing care, aside from independent living. I saw the 1-bedroom, the 2-bedroom, and the efficiency apartments. I actually wanted the small one because it was nice and it had a balcony.

The Glenmary at Evergreen was a straight tower. I was able to see their list of activities, which included exercise, trips, outside activities, bingo, game night, and movie night. They had a lot of activities going on. It was awesome. I loved it.

The Glenmary at Evergreen was bright, cheery, and clean. The people were very nice snd said they would put in new carpet and paint any unit we decided to stay in. They have a three-bedroom unit with a balcony. I like everything about it. I saw lots of activities, and also, they provide three meals a day.

My mother has been living here for the last two weeks and she is so happy! If you want an upscale community in Midtown Memphis, take a look at the Glenmary. The people who work here are so, so nice and compassionate. We love the Director, Mr. Hanover. He made the move very easy and he helped my Mom get settled in and introduced her to lots of people. Mom is very happy with the meals and I join her once a week for lunch. Mr. Hanover told us it is like restaurant and he was true to his word. I enjoy the meals as much as Mom! Another feature that we are very happy with is the Activities and Programming. Mom has lots of choices that are of interest and appropriate. She loves the Friday Happy Hour and the morning Line Dancing classes. They do a lot at the Glenmary to keep the residents active and engaged and that is exactly what we wanted for Mom. Again...very happy, happy at The Glenmary!!! Thanks to all of you who keep an eye out on my Mom.
