My mom moved into Elm Terrace Gardens. It's not very large, but they go from independent to assisted living, and they have a section for memory care and nursing right in the facility. It's close to home, she has a one-bedroom apartment, she has a living room, two walk-in closets, laundry facilities right in her room, and a walk-in shower. She's in independent living, but we have a caregiver that followed her there, and works with her two days a week. The staff is extremely pleasant, very helpful, they have a system where if she doesn't open her door in the morning by 10:00 am they come and knock on the door to make sure everything is OK. She also has a bracelet. All she has to do is push the button for assistance, and there are pull cords in the room. She likes the food, she has eaten things that she likes, and that she has not eaten before. They have a dining room for the evening meal, they have a self-serve cafeteria, she has a little kitchen in her apartment, she has a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and cabinets. So she can bring an extra bottle of water or an extra drink with her. The staff is wonderful. They have a service when they move her and a woman packs up her furniture, clothing, and toiletries. Then the woman follows the moving truck to the new home and unpacks everything for her. That's a great service. They publish a monthly calendar, they have a van that takes them on excursions, shopping, or to the drugstore, and they go out one night for ice cream. All they have to do is sign up. Every quarter they have a Sunday brunch where they invite the family to attend. All you have to do is sign up and say how many people are going to go. You pay for the food, but it's something special. They have church services, a communion service, and one day a month they have mass for them. She gets two meals a day, and she can choose what the meals are. The people are very nice, and when we moved her in the place was pretty spotless.

Elm Terrace is an option we're looking at. The cost is a little more on one end than the other; you don't have to put a lot of money upfront, but the monthly fee is expensive. They've got a pool, but I didn't like the cafeteria so much; it was like a buffet thing. We had lunch there, and it was very good. They had a Catholic mass every month, and they distribute holy communion on Sundays.

I went to Elm Terrace Gardens which is in Lansdale. It was like a high-rise apartment building in the middle of the town, and it certainly had some positives to it, but I did not like the apartments as much. The train station was a walking distance. The dining area was very nice. I had a meal there, and the food was fine. The dining area looked like a restaurant.

Elm Terrace Gardens is a small facility. It is downtown, so it doesn't have shops or anything inside. However, it was recently remodeled and beautifully done inside. It was a very well-appointed place for the money that they were charging. It was a little bit cheaper. Food there was good.

My mom is on Elm Terrace Gardens' waiting list. I thought this facility was welcoming and homey. The residents there looked clean, well cared for and content. The room that I saw I thought would meet my mom's needs. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and sincere. They said they would get back to me and they did. We did talk about their activities and they did have regularly scheduled activities. That's one of the things that made me choose them.

My mom is on the waiting list of Elm Terrace Gardens. It is our choice because she likes it better and the price is right. It is a cheery and happy place. She also likes the activities and we are impressed with their outside trips. The young lady at the front desk is very helpful. Their rooms are in a perfect size for her. They had four dining rooms and they are beautiful.

Love this place!! The rooms were HUGE, unlike any facility I have ever seen! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Residents seem really happy and are always involved in activities. It felt just like I was visiting my mom at her home! She loves, I love it, I would recommend to all my friends.

Over all The Elms at Elm Terrace Gardens was/is a decent facility. There were two sides to the facility. One for more sickly guests and a side for the ones who could better take care of themselves. In my personal opinion it was under staffed for its size. Quite a few of the people I spoke with who lived there seemed starved for attention or needed something they could not get for themselves. Other than that the people looked well cared for and for the most part relatively happy. It was very clean but did not feel "homey". The rooms were on the small side. Much like a hotel or hospital room. It had more of a hospital feel (and smell!) to it than a home. The grounds were well kept and clean, and it was easy to navigate the area inside and out. It was difficult to find a representative to speak with after looking around.

Nice facility, clean, friedly and for the most part upbeat. In my visits I have usually viewed strong commitment and values coming from the staff....from the top down. Seems that many activities are offered to keep residents busy if they choose to be......or checked on and some time spend if they choose to be more on their own. I expereinced one gent who is just very down about being placed ANYWHERE...it is one of those heartbreaking siutaions...but it is refreshing to hear the staff sit and talk with him, assuring him..he will make friends and soon will feel he is again part of something. This isn't the most visually appealing place..but it is clean and nicely maintained. The staff clearly shows profesionalism.
