What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its caring staff and its ability to help residents thrive through engaging activities. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, there is a lack of detailed information regarding dining and specific medical management, so you should ask for specific menus and medication protocols during your tour.

Key Review Excerpts

I highly recommend Elan Gardens. We just move Mom there. She is flourishing and thriving because of the caring staff and the residents there. Lots of activities and they truly care about her. I am relaxed that she has everything she needs. The place is clean and it is a pleasant place to live and visit.
