Response from Elmhaven Manor
September 26, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave this review for Elmhaven Manor. We apologize for any discomfort you and your loved one experienced during your initial tour of our community. We are committed to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for all our residents and their families. We understand the importance of flexible leasing terms. We are constantly evaluating our policies to ensure they meet the needs of our residents, and we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to refine our offerings. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your family. Please feel free to contact us directly with any further comments or concerns.
I'm currently a resident at Elmhaven Manor. I like it here so far and my apartment is very nice. This facility is a retirement community. They do have housekeeping. What they do not have, if you need it, is constant care. They do have a way of checking on people who may be fall risks. There are help/call pull cords in almost every room. They have multiple activities so you can participate in what you want. The meals are once a day are good and they will deliver to your room. The cost is $13.50. You buy tickets to use for each meal and don't have to eat. Use them when you want. They do control amounts that you receive. The meals are a little high on starch and sugar content. This is a very good facility I would recommend it as long as you are mobile and fairly independent. Most of the residents are over 65 and some have been here as long as 15 years. This facility is not cheap, but in pace with other facilities in this area.

I'm currently a resident at Elmhaven Manor. The cleanliness at this facility is great. The staff are wonderful. I have not attended any activities because I feel that a lot of the residents at this facility aren't friendly. Also, the resident community is not culturally diverse at this facility.

ElmHaven Manor is not assisted living, so if you or your family need that, look elsewhere. But ElmHaven is an exceptional place for retirees. We have a great activity director, and there is always something going on.

They do very well with planning activities, games, and food, but it would be nice for them to put plug-ins in the hallways sometimes there a little smell on the first floor. I love their courtesy.

We are glad your loved one is happy living in our community because we are happy to have them. Never hesitate to have your loved one contact us should there be anything we can do for them. Thank you.
The residents at Elmhaven Manor are very friendly, helpful, open, and talkative. We felt as our loved ones were moving in - having residents like that was almost a comfort to them which we thought was important. The activities do seem limited at times but everything they do offer our loved ones are really enjoying. We think the value is great and we would recommend Elmhaven Manor to other families based on our experience so far.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. This is a nice, clean, and peaceful place. The staff I have worked with have been very nice and friendly. There are options to dine in the dining room or cook in their apartments. The apartments have a full kitchen in them. There are two communal laundry facilities on each floor. My loved one enjoys the activities offered.

February 22, 2022Thank you for this wonderful review! We are so glad that your loved one has had such a great experience with our staff, as well as the dining options. Please let us know if there is ever anything we can do to serve you.
It's a very nice place. The office and the people are very good to all of us. There's two of them in the office who do everything for us. Our maintenance man is fabulous, and he his constantly cleaning. You never see him sitting down. Everybody is happy and friendly. The only trouble we had was we were quarantined all through Thanksgiving, and during that time we lost one of our residents to the virus. While it's hard to be quarantined, it was the right thing for them to do. It shows that they care. When we are up and running, we have so many activities it's unbelievable. And it's a good value. You could rent an apartment for the same amount as you pay here, but I get so much more here. They've been very kind to me - they're just great. I can't tell you how nice it is to know that even though I'm alone in this apartment, they check on me and know daily how I am.

December 3, 2021Thank you for this great review! We are so glad that you have had a positive experience with our staff and are enjoying all of our activities. We hope you enjoy living here for years to come!
It's a pretty good place, and I like living here. I like the people. Everyone I've met has been very nice. I like that I can be independent, and I like my apartment. It's a nice size. I wish it was better suited for wheelchair living (counter height and cabinets and things), but I manage. I don't really eat here. I tried the food a couple of times and didn't like it. But we're getting back to doing activities, and I've had a lot of fun with that.

Overall, it hasn't been bad. My loved one has been very comfortable here, in her apartment as well as with the other residents. I've had no cause for alarm. The value is pretty good. The rooms are great. The maintenance people are great. My loved one doesn't have to wait if something's broken. They routinely check on things proactively. The food has gotten so much better recently when they hired a new company. It was like night and day. There's been new management at Elmhaven as well. The office staff keeps the door locked, and they won't talk to you face to face. That kind of ticks me off, because if I have a problem, I want to speak to someone directly and not have to leave a message. A lot of that could be due to Covid though. And before Covid, my loved one liked it here because it was just so alive. There was lots of social interaction and engagement going on between the residents. So again, any changes are due to Covid. We like that there's been a clinic here to give vaccinations to the residents. And I believe they've done a great job of protecting their residents during this time.

I chose Elmhaven Manor because the apartment size is very nice. It is handicap friendly and everyone here has been nice. They promised me a rent reduction as well so it was the best deal at the time. Overall it has been a good experience and I would recommend them. I am excited for things to get back to normal so we can do more activities.

[Name removed] has been living at Elmhaven Manor for a few months now and loves it! The facility is clean and the staff are wonderful. He only uses services that he specifically needs, but, if at any time in the future he should require more help, it is available. So glad "A Place For Mom" helped us out and found the perfect spot!

My parents are comfortable there. It has a very cozy atmosphere. Residents are very nice and extremely helpful. Lots of things activities too. The only negative aspect is the food. Parents would eat downstairs if it were. Residents have stated that it could be improved. Parents have a great kitchen so this (at this time) aspect is a moot point.
