Bristol Glen, a UMC Community

Bristol Glen, a UMC Community Bristol Glen is dedicated to compassionately serving older adults, so all are free to choose Abundant Life.

Abundant living at United Methodist Communities is guided by our team of associates who bring empathy and energy to their work, every day. Our associates share a special bond and connection with the people they serve and care for. We also believe that an abundant life should embrace the spiritual, emotional, physical and social aspects of one’s life. This focus on cultivating and nurturing the who

le person translates to a meaningful and enjoyable lifestyle. Whatever you are passionate about is what we are passionate about. Life at United Methodist Communities is not the same-old, same old. An abundant life takes shape in so many ways: stretch your mind with amusing puzzles and games, hop on board as you take in an antique car show, see what’s cooking at a colorful culinary workshop, join a line dance to show off your moves. With a never-ending variety of activities and amenities you can rekindle those things you love and explore new pursuits. And best of all, you’ll have like-minded people to enjoy the memorable moments and engaging events you create at United Methodist Communities.
