My grandmother was at Elmcroft of Dillsburg. It was very clean and very warm when you walked in. It definitely gave us a good first impression. The service was excellent, but we were not happy with the staff. They were rude, and they didn't return phone calls. We did not like the people there, which was one of the reasons why we left. She participated in bingo and that was pretty much the only thing that she would do, but they definitely had activities there. The dining area was very clean, and the food was decent. There was a craft room and an activity room, but she didn't really do a whole lot.

My brother has moved into Elmcroft of Dillsburg. My mother, aunt, and father-in-law were there before. Everybody has been very friendly. They have taken good care of my brother. He likes it there, too. The staff members are very good, very nice and attentive. My brother also says the food is good. They're doing the best they can during this COVID; they absolutely have no COVID in the place.

Elmcroft of Dillsburg is open, clean, and had caring staff. The people were very friendly, knowledgeable, and had good staff to patient ratio. It had a lot of activities for the residents on a daily basis. They had outdoor areas, garden, and sitting room for the residents. The grounds were really nice, the rooms were well-maintained, clean, it had some basic amenities the person would want to, and enough individual privacy for one to feel independent. They had shuttle services, movies throughout the day, and exercise classes.

Elmcroft of Dillsburg is understaffed and not well trained because they yell at the residents, and a lot of times the residents need to go on meds but they don't seem to get a lot of attention. My dad is incontinent but some days he would go many hours without being changed. The care isn't really great. The activities are OK, but that's about it. He fell and they called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. The hospital said he's not getting enough care and he had a couple bad rashes on his body. The food is not bad. He was there for a month, but they tried billing us for three months because they wanted 30-day notice before he leaves. Even though we already pulled him out of there, they still tried charging my dad for an extra month.

Elmcroft had a pleasant environment and good amenities, like a library, but it took independence away from my mother. The people seemed very nice, but it just wasn't a good fit for us.

My mom will be moving in to Elmcroft of Dillsburg in a week or so, and it is very nice. Everybody is very friendly and open. We liked the atmosphere and rooms. The staff seemed to be very good. The dining room was beautiful; they seemed to care about the residents' appetite and preferences.

Elmcroft of Dillsburg was my pick of the four places that I saw. They had nice-sized rooms. I really liked the lady that interviewed me and asked the questions. She was very caring and very concerned and still keeps in touch with me. I liked the atmosphere of the place. The residents seemed like they were happy and enjoyed being there.

With Elmcroft, all they offer was a little studio apartment. That's not going to work for my parents. They need at least a living space and then a separate bedroom. The place was just not right for them, but everything seemed good. Everyone was very nice. Space-wise, I would not recommend it.

We visited Elmcroft, and it is very nice. We really did like it, but it does not have extended care. My mother doesn't want to go a place if she needs to be there for an extended period of time that she would have to move some place else, but it is very nice. The amenities are excellent, and the staff is very nice. We did see some people in the dining room. We saw people out and about, and we were impressed with it. I just think it is very nice, it is decorated nicely, and the staff is very nice.

The room size at Elmcroft was just a little bit smaller. I thought that they were acceptable. The staff was very confident, very cheerful and knew what my dad needs. I thought everything was clean, nice. We saw that there were some activities going on while we were there. They seemed appropriate for older people.

We had mom at Elmcroft of Dillsburg. Their rooms are excellent. I like that it's all in one floor and they have 24/7 nursing care and they are very attentive.

I like Elmcroft a lot. Mom stayed there for seven weeks. It's light, has an open floor plan, it's smaller in size, and there's less than 100 residents. Even the manager and staff participates in activities. They each take interest of those and they share it with the residents. One of the chefs I think comes and plays the piano with them and one of the community development director does trivia with them, so they're very hands-on.
They always knock before they come in, they call her by name and didn't call her "honey" or "sweetie", so I'd say they respected her. She isolated herself a little bit, but that has more to do with what was going on with her. She was in a lot of pain and she was trying to deal with whether or not she would go back to her apartment. And she did, and then just today, she decided that she needed to go back to Elmcroft. So she's actually going tomorrow.

It's close to us. My mom's been there since April. She's being treated very well.

My mom is currently in Elm Croft Senior Living & Memory Care. We chose this facility because it's just close to where we live. She's been staying there for 2 months now. The staff are all nice. What matters to us is that they treat her very well in this facility.
