Elmhaven Manor

I went to Elmhaven Manor two weeks ago. It was beautiful. It was very new. It was very clean. The actual apartment was very nice with a balcony. The staff was very nice, very informative. They do not have a cafeteria. You have to order out at a restaurant. I have no complaints about it at all. It was very modern, it was very accommodating for my mother with the elevator. They had pull cords in the rooms. It was a bright place with nice sunlight and it was just very nice. They do have activities, but I did not see any elderly people walking down the hall. There were cards, puzzles, and there was a beauty salon.

My husband and I were at Elmhaven Manor. We were real happy there and we loved that place. Their maintenance guys were great and everybody was very friendly. They probably started up some of the activities now, but we were there when the pandemic started and they shut everything down. So, it was pretty boring. They didn't want you to really come out in the hallways unless you went down to get your mail. They have a little beauty shop, food if you want to get one, and a big kitchen to cook in. If you didn't want to cook, it was like $9.00 a person to get dinner. They were very, very friendly, very helpful, and the food was good. They have a little store with a lot of essential things that you could buy, like milk, bread, pop, ice cream, boxes of goods, and all kinds of stuff, which was nice. We lived on the ground floor and had an enclosed patio, which I really liked. So, I would highly recommend them.

My tour at Elmhaven Manor went pretty well. The issue was the shower. The apartment was really clean, it was a nice size actual apartment. It was a one-bedroom apartment. It had a full-size kitchen in there. It was really clean. It was move-in ready. The issue was just the shower wasn't accommodating for my mom. Everything else would have worked, but the shower wasn't accommodating. It was nice. I would have loved that one. It was right up the street, and it gave her a little patio balcony area out there. There were lots of pluses with that one. There were some utilities that you have to pay for, but the price was $1500. The lady told me $60 for both gas and electric, which would have brought her up to $1600 and we're still well underneath that, but no meals were provided yet. She would have to make her own meals, or I would have to go over there and cook it and that wasn't an issue, and I didn't see that being a problem. I would have chosen that one because of the price, and the location is OK. Overall, it was nice. The staff was welcoming. I didn't have a problem with that one. Maintenance looks good and cleanliness was good, too. Some amenities weren't included, which was fine, and that's something we were willing to go ahead and do, but the shower just wasn't going to work.

The lady that toured me at Elmhaven Manor in Pontiac, her name's Paige, was very nice. It's independent livng and the place was very clean. It did have an institution feel when you walk in. I didn't like the fact that it was kind of small. To me, it reminded me of an institution. They're very accommodating though. My ex-husband would prefer a smoking room and he would prefer a shower and they have that. The problem with Elm Haven is they only provide dinner and you have to pay $270 a month to eat dinner there, which I felt was extremely high, even though their prices were very, very good. You have to almost pay for everything extra too. They have a beauty salon and barbershop and laundry rooms. They have a convenience store that I thought was nice. If you'd need milk or bread, you just go down there and get it. The rooms were nice too. The dining room was elegant and it was big and spacious.

I'm going to sign a lease with Elmhaven Manor. I was able to tour it, and I was very impressed. It was very clean. I like the way it's situated. I'm also on the waiting list for one of the independent bungalows, which is in the back that has a garage. I don't want my car sitting out in the elements. They put me on the waiting list for one of the bungalows, and it's affordable for me right now. The staff was very helpful during the tour. The rooms I saw were very nice. They were a little small, but it's only going to be me so that's OK. It was very livable, and they were nice. I like the way the bathrooms were. You don't have to climb over in a tub. It's a shower, where you just walk in so you won't be tripping at all when trying to get out of a shower in a bathtub. I like the way everything is set up. The amenities I like with them is that I can pick my meals. I don't have to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner if I don't want to. They have an activity room. You can go down to the lounge, where you can sit and talk. I like the fact that they have a doctor and nurse that come once a month. They have a pull cord push button in case something happens at night, and I love that. If you need to see a doctor or a nurse, you can put your name on the list (that's if you don't have your own doctor).

My mom just moved into Elmhaven Manor. They were having a special on the rent and my mother was on a fixed income and was trying to get the best possible situation for the price. Everything was fine, but because of COVID, a lot is going on. The apartments are nice, it's medium-sized. The dining area is very nice, it's clean, it's nice. They have arts and crafts, fitness, and they have a movie theater.

My aunt has moved into Elmhaven Manor. We were able to visit the community personally. When it was apparent that it was very serious they allowed us to go by ourselves and looked at the apartment physically. It is great. The community is very friendly. Everyone seems very nice. They welcomed my aunt and they said, "You're going to really like it here." I'm very impressed with them. The staff members are so helpful. It is a very nice place.

My mother-in-law lives in Elmhaven Manor. It is the one that she picked. It is very clean and looks like it has been remodeled recently. They have lots of amenities. Lots of people are walking and talking around. They only serve one meal a day, but my mother-in-law doesn't eat that much. They don't have car service, but they have two different kinds of shopping. I don't think all of the food is fresh, but my mother-in-law seems happy enough with it. It is a nice place, and her room is very nice. The staff members seem to be very cooperative. They had a market last week where people could bring things in to sell or buy.

An awesome community for seniors. The activities are endless and the food is delicious. My aunt loves it here!

Elmhaven is a nice and newer facility, but they don’t have as many activities. The staff was very good. There are one- and two-bedroom apartments. They have musicians come in, do crafts, and have physical therapy and a beauty parlor.

Elmhaven Manor was wonderful, but it was just strictly senior living. My husband, my brother, and I went there and saw the accommodations, which were nice. The people were very friendly. It was very clean and had a lot of activities going on all the time. The only drawback was that there’s nobody at the facility from 8 at night to 8 in the morning, and it doesn’t elevate to assisted living. The price was right, and the rooms and apartments were all lovely and decent. We looked at a 1-bedroom apartment, and there were ample storage closets. The kitchen had electric instead of gas.

Elmhaven Manor was clean as can be. It had no smell, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I only met one lady, and she was very nice. There were one-bedroom and two bedrooms. What really impressed me was the location. It was neat, clean, and the rooms were nice. The one bedroom was livable and very nice.

We ended up finding Elmhaven Manor. So far, it has been a fairly smooth transition. They were helpful for the most part. They have an excellent activities director who is really involved with all of the residents there. She does a lot of activities with them. Other than that, it hasn't been long enough to make a judgment yet. They have in-house activities. They do weekly church services. They have movies every Saturday, but they have community service, like community activities with concerts at a local venue, picnics, barbeques, arts and crafts, and bingo. They do cards, like bridge tournaments. So far, with one exception, all of the staff has been really, really good. We had a little bit of an issue with the manager. She was a little bit difficult, but everybody else was very, very helpful and just a joy to work with.

We were happy with Elmhaven Manor. The rooms were spacious and the staff was great. The food was not to be desired but it was a work in progress.
