Community Reviews
Awesome activities director
reviewed on: 08/07/2013 by AnonymousThe activities director is awesome; they are very involved with the residents. There just seemed to be too many residents for the amount of care providers they have. The residents here seem to have a very wide variety of abilities and need different levels of care, so it seems like a distraction for those residents that do not need as much care. It was a pretty good community but just wasn't the right fit for our loved one.
They Know Memory Care
reviewed on: 06/18/2013 by BrandonWe chose this community because when my sister visited it, the staff really gave her the idea that they knew what they were doing. She had visited other communities and this one really showed that they knew more about how to deal with memorty care then the rest. We have had a couple of issues here and there but the staff does try and correct them as best as they can. One of the issues was when I went to visit my mom it was during a shift change and seemed to be a gap in coverage but since then have not had any problems with it. The other issue involved the care services, my mom had and issue and they could not tell me how or why it happened eventually the issue went away on its own but I did not feel confident in that they knew what happened. No one could tell me anything about it. The setting of this community is really beautiful and appearance wise I would give it a 5 out of 5.
9 months in...
reviewed on: 11/16/2018 by AngieMy experience with Elmcroft began back in February of this year...9 months ago. There have been good times and not as good times but all in all, the good outweigh the not as good. It’s difficult for anyone to give up their freedom and their home/lifestyle. Elmcroft has been good in that respect. There are daily activities of all sorts and outings to various places on certain days. The food service could be better but three meals a day with choices has to be difficult to plan and prepare perfectly every meal. At times, I have felt the costs are too high for the services received. When I step back and realize that the stress and daily pressure a caregiver carries, it’s worth every dime!
Unique place
reviewed on: 12/19/2015 by AnonymousI use to work in nursing homes. I feel that this place does a lot for their people, it smells good and not like urine. I like the decors and the hugs that they give to the residents even the cooks are nice and that's hard find. Unique place.
Helpful Staff!
reviewed on: 06/23/2017 by AnonymousMy loved one has recently moved into this community and so far things are going well for him. The staff have been helpful and made sure to accommodate his needs as best as they possibly could. They do a great job at maintaining a clean facility for all of the residents which I was impressed with. The only complaint he seems to have is that he is not impressed with the meals he receives.
