BEST of the BEST Four United Church Homes (UCH) communities were voted Best of the Best in the 2021 Readers’ Choice contests sponsored by local media groups. The awards covered numerous categories. Mid-Ohio Valley residents have participated in The Marietta Times Readers’ Choice contest for more than 15 years. Readers submit completed ballots which are tallied, with winners named in a special section of the newspaper. The Marietta Times publisher said the annual reader’s poll is one that shows the social return on investments each business in the community makes. The Glenwood Community
The Harmar Place Community
Two communities were readers’ top choices by The Marietta Times: The Pines at The Glenwood Community was named the Best Assisted Living community; The Harmar Place Community was chosen as the Best Skilled Nursing and Extended Care community in the Washington County area for the third consecutive year. “We’re honored to be voted the best assisted living community in the area,” said The Glenwood Community Senior Executive Director Linda Dailey. “We take great pride in our community and in the quality of care we provide to our residents. It’s gratifying that members of the local community recognize and appreciate that commitment.”

“The care we provide is person-directed, and our staff focuses on residents’ individual preferences and needs,” added The Harmar Place Community Administrator Sue Boulton. “Staff have close relationships with our residents – we’re like family here. A large percentage of our staff have worked here for many years and their familiar faces offer comfort to our residents.”
