Elmcroft of Lake Jackson

Elmcroft in Lake Jackson, Texas is wonderful. Our mom has been a resident there for 7 years now, and I can tell you from experience that the management team and all who work there are very caring people. Our mom is a diabetic and she is monitored very closely at Elmcroft, which resulted in her health improving 110% within the first year. She enjoys a variety of activities and has many friends. My sister and I are truly grateful to see our mom so happy, and to hear her refer to Elmcroft Assisted Living as "home".

Elmcroft of Lake Jackson was really nice and clean. Everybody was nice and great.

My experience at Elmcroft of Lake Jackson was great. I loved it, and I loved the people there. They were great and very kind, caring, and helpful. I thought they were beautiful, calm, and clean, and if I had to choose a place for my dad, that's exactly what I would choose. I got a schedule of activities, and it was on a daily basis. They had something for them to do and try to keep them entertained. I was there at lunch time, and I thought the dining room was nice. The place had no smell, and I could go in there and I sat down, ate with my dad, and had no problem eating the food or was worried about if I'm going to get something. I was very impressed with Elmcroft and the people care. They were so caring, and not one but 2 people came out, talked to me, and showed me around. They explained it to my dad even though he was not really comprehending, and they tried so hard.

Elmcroft was comparable. There were residents out and about and all seemed happy. The staff was all friendly and they seemed like they actually cared about their residents. Everything was clean, nice, neat, and new. They would take a bunch of them to a concert at the Global Junior College to see country singer, about which they were all excited. I like they have a bus service that took the residents to Walmart, pharmacies and doctors' visits, which was a plus. All of the residents that we spoke to seemed very happy and didn’t mind being there. The rooms were a little bigger than others and had a little refrigerator. It’s spacious, and all the rooms we saw had windows, which is a plus.

My grandmother was in Elmcroft for four months around two years ago. The people working there were fine, I really can’t complain. The facility is average. She had a one-bedroom, with a living area, a bathroom, and a refrigerator. The food wasn’t on par with my grandmother; she didn't like the food and she just wanted to be at home.

Elmcroft of Lake Jackson is more for people who needs medical care. There were lots of people in wheelchairs and a number of them actually have carers who come everyday to be with them in their apartments. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. I've observed everybody across the board has been very good and helpful. Their accommodations were sort of like a hospital. The rooms were set up like an apartment but not like it are over at the other facility. The bed is visible from the entry way, sort of like a hospital. My husband has gone to give Sunday evening little ministry in the dining room and the residents were eating while he was taking, they have a nice plateful of food and they looked like they're really enjoying it. They did have activity calendar but it was not as full of activities for the people. They did have transportation provided for those who are able to get out.

How do I thank Tracy and her team enough! I visited Elmcroft 2 years ago for my mom, but decided to go with independent living instead. Boy what a mistake I made......we got her there in the end but we should have had her there the whole time. The warm and fuzzy feeling you get from the first time you walk in the door is Great!!!! The love and care they gave my mom was nothing but WONDERFUL!!!!! From the house keepers to the floor staff to the managers I can't say enough good things about them all!!!!!!! So, if you ever have the need for assisted living I highly recommend Elmcroft of Lake Jackson and the whole team there. Don't stop doing what your doing!!!!!

It looked very nice when I toured the facility. They used silver wares and food is good. They have 3 meals a day, but price-wise it wouldn't leave money to do anything. I have planned things for the summer and I wouldn't be able to do these things if I live here. It's a good place but it's just not the place for me at this time anyway.
