I love Elmcroft of Shallowford. It was just too expensive for us. I know the lady who toured me around, and she was full of light. All their residents were doing activities, and they did not let COVID bother them. They were eating at their tables with flexi flags all around and they were doing bowling down the hallways. The staff was very nice. It was a very, very nice and upscale place. The rooms were nice, too, and they were doable. They had some rooms where they had two people in it. My dad probably wouldn't mind that since he was in the Army and he's used to have roommates, but I wasn't quite sure about that situation. It's located in a busy kind of area, but you don't necessarily have to go out there because they have beautiful courtyards to walk around in.

I visited Elmcroft of Shallowford. The staff seemed to be fine, and the apartments were extremely small. The dining area looked nice, and just like a regular restaurant. I saw a theater room, but I wasnt that interested because of the small rooms.

We liked Elmcroft because it was smaller, and all on one level. We were familiar with the reputation of the food, which was very good. The staff has been wonderful; they were wonderful before we move, and they were wonderful since.

Elmcroft of Shallowford was a little bit older than the other place we visited. Their memory unit was also smaller. The staff that assisted us was very helpful, and we had a nice visit. There was a lot of interaction with the residents there. The dining area was really nice.

Elmcroft has studio and apartment style accommodation. It was good, and the staff was excellent. And what I like the most was everything in one level.

After visiting many assisted livings in the area we picked this one. We have had mom here for over a month now and she loves it! It was hard for her to move from her home but she is adjusting just fine. All she does is call me to tell me what she has done today and how sweet all the staff is to her. I was so scared at how she would take the move but after visiting everywhere I knew Elmcroft was the best. It is the feeling you get from everyone who works there and the residents (I talked to many of them white no staff around) have nothing but good things to say! This was the best decision we have ever made!

I looked at Elmcroft of Shallowford. It was a nice facility, but it was a lot older than the one I picked. There were a number of things, but the biggest on it was that the bathroom was off the living quarters rather than off of the bedroom, and that is the major point. Plus, it was $1000 a month more expensive. I looked at a couple of their rooms, and I don't think they were as big as what my mom got at the other facility.

My family friends have moved 2 relatives into this assisted living and have told many friends (3 that I know of are there now). All I hear is how caring and knowledgable the staff is. So I decided to check it out for my parents. Just like they said, from the entrance I was greatest with a smile, the staff I talked to knew all the answers to my questions and even gave me their cell phone just in case I had more! The residents were all out and about, very active and social. I knew when I walked out the door that this was the place for my parents. My parents like their 2 bedroom apartment, love the food, and have jumped in on all the activities and outings. I am so glad my friends sent me here, my wife calls Elmcroft of Shallowford a hidden gem that has changed our lives for the better!

My husband and I moved my parents into Elmcroft of Shallowford a couple months ago. We visited a lot of places and after many family discussions we decided on this loctaion. It was the best decision we have ever made! The staff always goes above and beyond their job to make sure the residents are safe, cared for, and happy and the food is great! We were scared to make the move at first but after seeing my mom make all these friends and getting into all the activities and my dad going out on all the men's outings and enjoying himself we knew thsi was the perfect place for them. Most of all, we can sleep at night knowing that my parents are secure and have 24 hour help if they need it.

I recently moved my parents into Elmcroft of Shallowford based on some recommendations from friends. My parents were not happy about leaving their home but once I took them to tour and they met with the marketing lady who introduced them to residents and staff they began to open up to the idea. They are loving living there! I use to get calls multiple times throughout the day and now I'm lucky to get them when I call, they are always at activities and outings with the other residents. The staff is wonderful too! They really seem to care for each resident like they are their own mom or dad. I would highly recommend this Assisted Living!

We got my uncle and aunt in an assisted living and they are now in Elmcroft of Shallowford. We chose this facility because they have larger rooms and they are all in one-floor. Their staff is good. They are very cordial, friendly and helpful. They offer plenty of activities there and my relatives can avail themselves whenever they can. My uncle is on oxygen 24/7, so he has a difficult time going anywhere, but his wife is going to lunch with some of the ladies there.

My aunt lives in this facility. I am happy with the care she is receiving, the staff is friendly and knows the names of each family member that visits. My aunt seems happy when I visit and she is always clean and alert. I can call and check on her at any time. My children like to visit during activity time. They enjoy playing the games with the residents. I recommend this facility but would suggest you get to know your loved ones caregivers and visit at different times of the day.

I visited this facility
I had visited this facility and many other facilities in the area for my grandmothers care. The care was sub par. I saw one of the techs got into a patients room and use her phone she had left the door open for all to see. I was not pleased with the greeting I recieved as a potential client I felt that I should have been treated a lot better than I was. As I arrived the front clerk was rude. It was as if she did not want to assist me.
Memory Care Reviews for Elmcroft of Shallowford

We're pleased with Elmcroft of Shallowford. We're just upset because of COVID, we can't be over there all the time to monitor what's happening to my mom. So far, when we see her, she looks OK. The staff members are all OK. They're friendly, kind and seem to be on top of things. She's in memory care, and we can't go into that part of the faciity. When we see her, they bring her out into the library and we have to sit 6 feet apart with masks on and things like that, but at least we get to see her. They do exercises every day, they supervise them during games and puzzles, and they keep them kinda busy. The activities now are different from pre-COVID days, whereas before, it was great. They had entertainment all the time, and we could actually go out there all the time and we would have different schedules on who's gonna be there. Of course now with COVID, no one's gonna be there.
