Glenmeadow Celebrates Nick Testa as Director of Dining Services of the Year

LONGMEADOW — Glenmeadow announced that Nick Testa, director of Food and Beverage, has been named the 2026 Director of Dining Services of the Year by the Senior Dining Assoc.

Testa joined Glenmeadow in 2023 and quickly distinguished himself as a collaborative, innovative leader. Just months into his role, he successfully guided dining operations through a 16-month construction project that impacted two major venues, ensuring exceptional service was maintained throughout holidays, events, and daily dining.

He also led the opening of Glenmeadow’s new Doorstop Lounge and the implementation of its CCRC liquor license, enhancing the overall resident experience.

“Nick’s creativity and warmth shine through every interaction. He brings joy to the dining experience at Glenmeadow,” said Meaghan Carrier, vice president of Resident Experience. “Residents consistently praise the experience he and his team create, describing it as welcoming, joyful, and even magical. Nick has elevated dining into a vibrant and engaging part of community life.”

This national recognition from the Senior Dining Assoc. honors Testa’s leadership, positivity, and commitment to excellence in senior living dining. He will be formally recognized at the SYNERGY 2026 Conference, taking place this week in Charlotte, N.C.
