Community Reviews
Very nice place!
reviewed on: 02/22/2017 by AnonymousDuring my tour of the Elms Assisted Retirement Campus, I met the nurses and the staff. The place was nice and clean. The tour guide was very friendly and took me around the entire building. We chose another community because of location, but this was a good option.
Wonderful Care for Seniors with Dementia
reviewed on: 09/23/2013 by MarthaMy father spent the last couple of months of his life in The Elms Carriage House which is for seniors with dementia. The care he received was wonderful - professional, friendly and very personal. The staff cared to know my father as a person and we're very engaged with all the patients. What impressed me even more though was the care shown for my mother as my father's daily visitor. The staff always made sure she was well fed, emotionally supported and frequently asked after her own well being. I highly recommend this program to families searching for care!

Elms memory care assisted living for my mom.
reviewed on: 05/11/2017 by Rich LongoluccoI recently placed my mom in Chestnut Cottages. This is a memory care unit at the Elms. The Elms is a respected local business that has proven to be an excellent choice. The facility is beautiful and the staff does an amazing job. I am a retired senior citizen police advocate that assisted many families over the years. When it came to dealing with my own mom, all my experience "went out the window" due to my emotions. I appreciated the caliber of the Elms more than ever. This is a difficult decision for any family. Rest assured this is a great choice.
Staff is as nice as can be !!!
reviewed on: 09/27/2016 by AnonymousChef is wonderful at making sure my mom is happy with her meals and making adjustments if needed. The staff is very kind and always helping my loved one with her bathing and morning hygiene. They offer a great happy hour at 4:00 pm for all of the residents, and have a great variety of activities. They often hold events for the families to be involved in , I am amazed by this community
