The facility is pretty nice, I think some things could be upgraded. But mom is very pleased. The staff is very friendly and quick to address any issues we have. They do housekeeping often and her room is very clean. The food is good, mom is happy with it. Communication with the family is very good. They do have transportation for appointments and dining, which is great. I would recommend them to friends and family.... Read more

My loved one is no longer at the facility. The food and activites needs to improve. The food was horrible. They served a lot of pasta, which was too much startch. The only activities they had was bingo. A couple of staff members were very rude. The director was super friendly, and the social services person was nice also. I would not recommend to other families.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community but our loved one needed memory care and it is only assisted living. What really stood out to us the most is that you could really tell how obsessed the residents were the staff, that is a very nice thing to see

The meals and dining service is like clock work, very consistent and good. What really stood out to us and sold us on the community was the overall friendliness of the staff members we met.

We chose Elmcroft of Grayson Valley because they were one of the cheaper ones in the area, especially if you have a roommate. Even though it is a shared room, they have their own bedrooms and then they share a bathroom and living room. Their administrator came to our house since this was during covid and made the transition easier for us. Their caregivers have been awesome, they treat my mother like she is the only one there. They call me about anything and have been great with communication from the get go. They have a nurse on staff 24/7 which gives me peace of mind as well. The location of the facility is great, it is centrally located to a lot of different things that you might need. I could not ask for a better place for my mom and I would highly recommend them to others who are looking.

Elmcroft has nurses on staff 24 hours which is exactly what we were looking for. The day to day staff like the ones who do the house keeping, and help with bathing are a little understaffed. As far as we are concerned they have been very accommodating to our loved one, and we have seen them being very helpful. The residents have been on lock down a couple of times which resulted in them having to eat in their rooms, but they are back to eating in the dining room. Our loved one has not complained about the food so its safe to assume it is pretty good.
Overall the community provided good care. The communication was pretty good overall. They returned calls quickly and they kept us well informed and up to date. I would recommend this community to others.

The community is starting to open back up slowly. Right now they don't have any activities due to COVID. I would definitely would recommend this community. The staff is super friendly and we are on a first name basis. They treat the residents like family.

September 29, 2017Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your tour and had a positive experience with us.
Got off to a rough start on first two days after Mother moved in. Up to that point all was well, everything done professionally, but failed to give her blood pressure medicine to her that night and the next morning; that set me off! After that was straighten out things have gone well. Mother is on a "soft" diet and they don't always do well in following that! I'm a business man and I get upset when people don't do all they claim should should do for their client/patient; but I will say that Mother wasn't too keen on going to a home to begin with, but she tells me every day that the ladies who tend to her each day are the nicest people she has ever met. If they can keep her happy and safe then I'll be happy, but you better do your job.

September 29, 2017Thanks for the feedback, Terry. Making sure your mother feels at home and is getting the proper care she needs is most important to us. If these issues still continue, please reach out to our Ethics Hotline [removed] to discuss your concerns.
I am happy with the care that my mom is getting here. The staff are nice and caring, My mom feels that the meals could use some small improvements. The variety is excellent. She likes a lot of the great activities. I toured a lot of communities. the residents here are happy and the staff are easy to talk with. i would recommend this community for other families. I would recommend this to be a great community.
