My mother moved into Elmcroft of Muncie and pretty much everything is fine. We're very happy so far. It's very nice, very clean, we really liked most everybody, and we have no problems with anyone, they're very friendly people, and they're good workers. They might be short staffed, but they sure do work. Her room is very nice, and the dining area is really good, very clean, very nice, and homey. The food looks fine to me, and they give her enough to eat. They have very good activities. They have two ladies who are always encouraging my mom to participate. She really likes to socialize, but doesn't want to play game. Despite this, these ladies have actually encouraged her to the point that she's doing all these things she wouldn't normally do, so we're happy with that. She goes to exercise class in the morning at ten, after that they go to another room to read the newspaper, five to seven residents go in there at a time and they talk about it. My mom really enjoys that. They also take them outside. My mom doesn't participate in everything, but she does things. There's a large circle inside, and she can walk around there ten times, but when she first moved in she couldn't even walk to the dining room, which was halfway around, so she's made some big improvements since she's been there.

Elmcroft of Muncie's staff is great, very friendly, and helpful. The grounds are very nice. The rooms are very nice and well taken care of. They put in new carpeting and paint before my mom moved in. The price is a little high, but the care is worth it.

Thank you for your kind words, Carol! There is no greater honor than to be trusted with a very special member of your family.

We visited Elmcroft. I like it very much. I was talking to one woman who lived there, and I asked her if she knew a friend of ours, and she said she knows everybody there. I like that, and we live right next door. I like everything about it. I like the homey atmosphere and the décor of the whole place, but I did feel the rooms were a little small. They gave me a copy of their calendar, and it was amazing. That would be what I would enjoy a lot: the activities. Every day, there is something.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We have a friend who lives there, and we take him to church. One day, he was ill, we took him home early, and I went in with him to explain what had happened, and the person we talked to was very sympathetic and helpful.

We have placed my mom at Elmcroft. She has been there now for 2 months, and she is adjusting very well. It's a very nice place. It has a memory care unit, and my mom has Alzheimer's. Everyone is really good. I have been there when they served lunches, and they looked really good, but I've never eaten there. Mom has gained 11 lbs since she's been there, so I take it the food is good. It's a 1-bedroom apartment and it has a restroom in it. It doesn't have a shower because of her having Alzheimer's and the hot water issue, but it has a bathroom in the room. We got it as small as we could because smaller is better for her.
I wish that there was a little bit more activities, but they keep them very busy. She loves all the activities. They have movies almost every day, and they play bingo. They have trivia and exercise class. They go for van rides. All the help is very nice, and she loves it. There's really nothing I didn't like about it. I hate to move her, but it's going to happen sooner or later because she will have to do the Medicaid thing and they don't offer it at Elmcroft.

This facility appeared to be well kept and clean. The meals served in this facility were of a high quality and they tasted fairly decent. The staff was pleasant and friendly. The only problems were that my great-grandmother was not receiving the financial advice and assistance that she required. Her finances needed to be better looked after and they were not being taken care of appropriately. My great-grandmother also had difficulties navigating the facilities and would occasionally get lost. The staff at this facility was always able to locate my great-grandmother in a fairly timely manner, but I feel that this did pose somewhat of a hazard to her health. One thing that I did enjoy about the facility was the piano they had set up for the residents in one of the sitting areas. Residents and guests were able to make use of the piano for their enjoyment and entertainment.

Elmcroft of Muncie was really nice. They had several different dining areas and a nice common area where everybody could go and watch TV or whatever. The place was clean and well maintained. It was a really pretty community. The rooms and the building were nice. It's a locked unit. The residents looked clean.
