My mother is at Elmcroft of Sherwood. It's very clean, very neat, and it's close to where my wife and I live. It's the closest assisted living place that's not a straight up nursing home. Everybody has been very nice and very helpful.
Her room is very nice. She has a single room. The staff has been very helpful and very pleasant. Everybody is very kind and looking out for her. She hasn't really had a chance to do any of the activities because we just moved her in from out of state, so they're trying to keep her in her room because of COVID for at least the first week or so. People can wave if she leaves her door open. She hasn't really had a chance to get to know anybody there, except for maybe some of the staff members who had come in and helped her.
The facility is very clean, well maintained, and very nice. There's no kind of mess or smell or anything like that. It's very nicely kept and very neat. They were less expensive than other places, and they offered more room options and more space for my mother. Money wise, it's the best value we found. Even with COVID they actually allowed my wife to go in before we made a decision to look at the facility, so they were very kind about that.

My mom was at Elmcroft and felt at home. Barbara T. was so genuine and thoughtful as I struggled with finding the right place and right people to care for my wonderful mom!

My visit to Elmcroft of Sherwood was fine. I thought the rooms were great. If my mother had to go into one, this is probably the one I would pick. The staff was cordial and knowledgeable. During the tour, they explained how things work, the financial cost, what's available, the options, and so on. I didn't have any complaints about it. There were several people in one area. When they showed me around, they had one area for games, movie nights, and things like that. I was shown the options that they had for meals, and the place was decorated for the holidays.

The only one I visited was Elmcroft, and my mother is staying there now. She loves bingo, and they have bible studies and worship services; she’s been to those. She loves the garden in the compound in the central area, and its got building all around it. They’ve got flowers and bird feeders. She just loves it; she’s had a good time, and she loves the time. It’s very clean; they redecorate often. They put some new carpets in and have done a number of things before my mom moved in. The staff is phenomenal -- very friendly and courteous. They have been doing a good job. We have been impressed.

Elmcroft of Sherwood was extremely expensive. There weren't any senior staff there, just the maintenance man, but we took the tour anyway. The community was really nice, clean, and very well kept. The room was nice, and for one person, it was spacious and well kept. The paint, layout, and location were good. I was inquiring for my mother-in-law and step-father-in-law.

Elmcroft of Sherwood was a good place with nice rooms, but they did not have an opening. This was the place I would have preferred Mom to go. It did not have an overpowering smell like in other places. I've heard good things from people I know.

I chose Elmcroft for the location, but we absolutely loved it when we saw it. It was so beautiful. My mother in-law is not really active, but she does like going to Bingo there.

The staff at Elmcroft of Sherwood was very accommodating. I didn’t have an appointment, but they took the time to take me through the different types of rooms. The rooms were small, well maintained, very pretty, and homey. I got to meet different staff members and toured the eating facility, the recreation room, and the physical therapy areas. They did a very good job.

Elmcroft of Sherwood is an awesome facility. Their grounds are immaculate and very well-planned-out. They have private areas for family members to go into. They are very caring. I have not tried eating there, but their dining room is awesome. Overall, I had great impression of the place.

A family member is at Elmcroft of Sherwood. The thing that I liked most about the place is how nice and caring the people are. We chose a regular apartment, and it was adequate. The food is delicious. With their activities, he goes to work out in the gym area every day. They have a pool table. The place is very homey.

We decided to place my brother in Elmcroft of Sherwood. He is mentally ill, and the price has gone up to more than his monthly income, so it's really too expensive, but they're working with us and keeping it below his monthly income. I would recommend it because they give a personal touch to their clients. They meet his needs. With his mental illness, he requires some different handling than most of their clients, and they are willing to do that. For instance, the fire drill is very difficult for him, and the director goes and stands with him during the fire drill. I've never eaten their food, but my brother is satisfied with it. He is in assisted living, but he doesn't really need all of that nursing care, so I was hoping to get him into the independent care.

My visit at Elmcroft was fine, and I enjoyed it. The staff was quite realistic. I only saw one room, and it was not going to be large enough, but it was fine. There was a religious service going on as part of the activities, and when I went there they were signing up for an upcoming craft.

The first thing I noticed is Elmcroft was gorgeous and beautiful, it was nice; it's assisted living. It's apartments, and they're up to date. They give them a lot of independence. But there's not nearly enough staff to take care of people like my mother. They can have microwaves and refrigerators. Mom has two refrigerators, but mom doesn't need a microwave because she'll put it on for 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds. They have what they call a courtyard. The building is built in a square, so they can go out and be in the courtyard but not escape.
They have physical therapy there. They have a beauty shop where they can get their hair done, and also they do shopping trips. One thing that they do there is they try to find out what their dream was like, what did you always wished you could do. One lady always wished she could paint like an artist, and they brought somebody in to do an art class and let everybody do their own picture.

The facility is very clean and nicely appointed. The entry area is not just a facade like other places but truely an inviting area and carried through out the facility. If you are contemplating coming here or looking for a place for a loved one, it would be very difficult to find a nicer facility or a more helpful staff.
