Tenant issues and concerns are brought to the attention of management by a Tenant Association, a group made up of tenants of Glenmore Manor. Tenant meetings are conducted in an atmosphere that allows each tenant’s concern to be addressed by management and to bring about swift resolutions.

Support service staff will help with apartment repairs and maintenance which is critical in one’s ability to remain in the community and out of an institutional facility. As one ages in place, the home serves an increasingly important function: as a location for the delivery of services and a stabilizing and familiar part of the older person’s life.
