Independent Living Reviews for Elms Retirement Living Center

Elms Retirement Center has a comfortable and homey feel to it. I like the apartment, and the food is OK. I’m a little bit younger, so I am looking for some other kind of activities other than the usual ones for older residents. The staff are all friendly and helpful.

The room that we decided on was a one-bedroom apartment. For the amount we paid and everything, it’s quite roomy and well arranged. I like it. The staff is very friendly, very helpful, and go the extra mile. The food is very good. Compared to other places I’ve visited, the food has more flavor. If you’re not feeling well, they’ll help you out by having you eat at a different time, so they’re very accommodating. It’s kind of boring, but they do try to do a few things. Several times a week they have a bus that takes people shopping, and they have bingo once or twice a week. Because some of the people before we even got here at Elms used the hot tub and were irresponsible with it and let it run over, they covered the hot tub up and won’t let anybody use it anymore. They could improve on that and let people use the hot tub.

I visited this facility

The Elms was too far away for us. They showed us a dark room, and evidently they didn't have many rooms at all; just a one-bedroom studio apartment. So we just saw one that had recently been vacated, and it was dark and dreary. We only met one person from the staff, and she was OK.

Elms is pretty good. When I need to go to a facility in the future, I might consider going there. The building is modern and clean. It is a comfortable place.
