The Elms
I love it here at the ELMS. Residents and staff are so kind and happy. My apt is spacious and I have a lovely view from my balcony. The food is good and I love visiting with the other residents. There is a lovely park nearby and Pacific University campus is beautiful and within walking distance.

Review for The Elms Retirement Community
It's a good experience. I picked this community because of th eprice, and I did not need assisted living in one of the places that served meals. The food is good.

We felt welcomed and not judged when we first walked in
The friendliness of the staff, activities, and value for cost it gets a 5+++. For their inside activities, they are great but we are disappointed all excursions are not available for walkers of any type. I completely understand with space limitations but was hoping for at the very least fold up flat walkers. The value for cost is Incredible pricing and hopefully there won't be a huge increase if the Covid referendum is passed.

Great Affordable Independent Living
I would recommend you check this community out for your loved one. This is a good place and affordable for your loved one. The Elms is for those who are more independent.

Review of The Elms
I really like it here. It is close to just about anything you would want! Lots face it - no place is 100% or like home, but we come close here. I have told my children and friends I don't want to leave here unless it is feet first or have to have assisted living. In other words, I really like it here.

Great management, staff, meals. Spacious one bedroom has large kitchen – eating area separated by a wall from the living room. Can walk to Safeway, bi mart, library, post office. I am very happy here

I am very disappointed with this facility. There is nothing welcoming about this community and I would not recommend it to anyone. It feels like a [Removed] and it smelled awful here. When you walk in, the main lobby just felt so empty. There were a few ladies sitting in the lobby knitting but they did not look happy about anything. The tour guide didn’t look professional at all. She was in shorts and a cut off shirt like she had been gardening not to mention she was late. We were so put off that we didn’t do a thorough tour at all.

Older Establishment
We toured the Elms Retirement Community. It is an older establishment and did not seem as well-kept as other communities that we had toured. We chose another community that was more updated, cleaner, and brighter.

Nice place
The Elms is a pretty nice place. They do have trips and quite a few activities for the residents to participate in. The staff is very nice also. They let the residents here give feedback on how things are going and what could be improved. I think that is wonderful.

more value here than anywhere else
I am very happy here at The Elms Retirement Community. Everyone agrees that there is more value here than anywhere else. I am very lucky to have found this facility. There are plenty of activities for me but they could use a little more. The staff members are really eager to get the residents input. For instance we are having a meeting soon to get the residents to let them know anything they would change and just general input. I love the location and I love the attitude of everyone here. The food is fantastic, I get to socialize while enjoying my meals. I am just so very lucky to be at this facility.

These people are just wonderful. They go above and beyond.
These people are just wonderful. These people go above and beyond. For the price, what they do is amazing. The only thing is that there is no transportation to my loved ones doctor. They always go on trips at least once a month. Once a week they go to alternating stores. The Elms Retirement Community is an absolutely wonderful place. Everything has been going great. It's a nice place. Five stars all the way.

very pleased
The communication they have with the family is very good. Everyone there is very friendly. I have been very pleased with The Elms Retirement Community and my mother is very happy there. My only complaint would be the smokers. Some of the employees stand outside the kitchen door and smoke, and you can smell it a little in the halls. Other than that everything has really been great.
