Review for Elan Gardens, Inc

Elan Assisted Living is great. Unfortunately, Elan Skilled Nursing is not. Skilled Nursing has addressed issues, but new ones keep arising.

Elan Gardens

I feel like everything is a 5 except my Dad complains about the food. That may be the difference between a kosher facility and him not understanding the difference in meals. I can say that my Dad is there short of 2 months and he has improved so much. The PT , [name removed] has him working hard on getting better with steps and more conscious about moving his body for his health. [name removed] in activities tries hard to get him to join everything but he likes the live entertainment they offer most. Going to lunch and dinner and talking with others has been a great help to his mood. The entire staff has been so kind and patient. I'm very grateful for all of them. I feel like his quality of life has improved a great deal.

Pretty Good

Good intake. Medication application Good. 1st weeks he had a lot of attention. Arranged for PT. PT stopped. Laundry is building up. Room not straightened after I was away for 3 weeks. He needs a shower more often. Soooo... started out real good, but complacency setting in. But he is needing more care than was expected. Waiting for memory lane to open.

Over the top amazing

It’s amazing. I’m so blessed to have [name removed] my dad there. He is so cared for. The place is spotless. The food is great. The activities. My dad has a great life there. It’s not a room. It’s an apartment. A lovely place he calls home. My stress level is so much better. I am not worried like I used to be. Elam Gardens is a hidden gem and. I’m so blessed to have found it. Thank you. A place for Mom.

Elan Gardens experience

We were extremely happy with the entire experience. They worked very hard to keep mom engaged and active. Everyone was extremely pleasant. It felt nothing like an old folks home!

Tour Review

Our family had an in person tour with Elan Gardens, Inc. and all of the staff members we had met with, we found to be very professional and they did a very thorough job with the tour. We ultimately had found a community that was just a little bit better of a fit.

My Tour Experience at Elan Gardens, Inc

The place was nice. Price was crazy but said it doesn't change based off level of care. The lady made me feel pressured like she was giving the room away unless I put deposit down right then. She made me feel rushed through the appointment as well.

Community Tour

I thought Elan Gardens was nice. Everybody we interacted with was very nice. But it was too pricey, and I also though it would be too big and overwhelming for my loved one.

Highly recommend

We chose Elan Gardens mainly due to the location and the price as well as the staff was very friendly. I got a lot more information from them during the tour than I did at the other facilities we looked into. Their rooms have satellite so mom has all the channels that she wants to watch. They are also individually set up to control their own heat. I would recommend to others looking.

I like it

The staff have been helpful and encouraging. This is a nice clean community. The food is good and they do offer some nice activities. This is a smaller community so mom does receive more attentive and hands on care. I would recommend this community.

So homey and caring!

We moved mom from living in her own condo in FL to Elan Gardens. The entire experience has been effortless! The entire staff is not only helpful but really understands not only Moms anxiety but our's as well. No question is a bother and any request is accommodated. Of course, this is a huge transition for our 89 year old Mom and there have been hiccups but we are so happy with her progress. The activities are abundant and varied. The activity director keeps all engaged and helps when needed. The resident aides are all very compassionate and are around the facility to assist residents all day and night. There is a Kosher kitchen which presents some issues for our Mom but the food is all cooked fresh and on premises. There are alternate choices at all meals. We made the right choice!!

Best Senior Living in Clarks Summit-Scranton-Wilkes Barre Are

Elan Gardens Inc. was just what my mother needed and just in time! My mother was suffering from Dementia and several other health care issues. I was told she needed to go to take the tour of the facility and I just loved everything about it. The Administrator and Assistant Administrator were both there since the facility was opened. How many times do you find a non-profit facility under the original management. The residents all live in their own private apartments with 24 hour nursing on site. Nurses are the only staff that administer my mothers medications and her health seems to be actually improving. If you are lucky enough to find an apartment for your loved one at Elan Gardens, I highly recommend it. [Removed] Philadelphia , PA

Excellent

We love Elan Gardens! Nothing is too much for the staff. Everyone is so helpful. Our Mom has something to do all day long. Before moving to Elan, Mom spent a great deal of time at home. Now she is on the go and loving it.
