Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Elk Horn, IA

"We visited the Heritage House, Atlantic, and it was very nice. We toured their assisted living facility, and it was very positive. We're small-town people, so we like the fact that Atlantic is also a small town. It has a lot of appeal to us. We really like their fitness center, too. They offer yoga and workout classes and things like that. Whatever you do for fitness, it's available there. If you ride a stationary bike, an elliptical machine, or lift weights, they have it. It really had a nice selection. We met a number of the people who live there, and they all spoke highly of it. They were also friendly, and that was very positive. The staff members were not at all pushy. They had all the time in the world for questions, and they gave us a lot of material to take home and look at at our leisure. They gave us different options. We walked through the dining room and the breakfast bar, but we didn't eat anything. They did give us a menu that was lying on the table, so we got to look at it, and there was nothing that raised any red flags. The place was very neat and tidy, and looked very clean. The outside and the inside also looked nice."

"The help at Elm Crest Retirement Community is very good. There’s a closet inside the door to the room, and it’s a good size. The kitchen is right there too. There isn’t any stove, but there’s a microwave, and it has cupboards up above and a cupboard down below. There’s a small refrigerator, and the living area is kind of joined up with the bedroom. I have my bed in one end, and I have a computer too. "
