I visited Elmcroft of Kingsport. We only spoke to one director and she was very pleasant. We were there mid morning and we only spoke to one person. She showed us both their senior care as well as their memory care. I did not see any activities going on or being presented because, like I said, it was mid morning and they hadn't begun their activities for the day. I really can't say a lot about Elmcroft. The staff was very informative, very pleasant, and explained everything really well. The seniors were allowed to visit each other outside on days that were nice enough for them to sit out front. It wasn't as comfortable as other places for seniors that I had visited.

Wish I could share a photo of the food served here. Most of it is unrecognizable and unappealing. Considering a cost of nearly $50000 per year, it shouldn’t be too difficult to provide tasty and appealing meals.

Elmcroft of Kingsport was absolutely wonderful. They took their times with us during our tour and showed us the different rooms they had. The personnel there is fantastic. My dad has been there for 5 weeks now and he's glad I put him there and not somewhere else. It has turned out to be a blessing. The rooms are a good size and my dad has got a bed and chest of drawers. I like that they keep them active and they keep activities going all the time. The food is great and they do it restaurant-style. The seating they have is really good because my dad gets to sit with people he's met. My dad is in their assisted living side. It's all-inclusive so you pay one price.

Everything at Elmcroft of Kingsport has been great. It's your standard assisted living with a memory care part for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Everything looks fine, and the place is clean. My mom is content. They do special events and meals. Their staff is very supportive of people going through a hard time.

My tour at Elmcroft of Kingsport was very thorough. It had a different feel to it. The largest room they had was 192 square feet, so you're living with a twin bed, a night stand, and a TV. The closet was adequate. The facility was very nice but old. They had a nice courtyard, but I didn't see anybody doing anything, and I was there for almost two hours. It felt like it was a place for older people who are not mobile. It's too quiet. The lady who took me on the tour was very nice, but she herself was very quiet. There weren't any smiles, kidding, joking, or laughter. It was all business and matter-of-fact. The place was like a clean and quiet nursing home as opposed to an assisted living place.

I was going to move my wife to Elmcroft of Kingsport since it was quite a bit cheaper and very nice. I dealt with the manager and was quite impressed with her. The dining area was quite nice. They gave me a jar of strawberry jam that they made as part of an activity, and it was quite good. I was quite pleased with it.

Elmcroft has been great for my brother and I am very satisfied. The surroundings are fine. It’s not a very large place, and they don’t have anywhere to walk. The food is fantastic, but my brother is on special diet. The people are very personable and take care of my brother.

We went to Elmcroft at Kingsport and really, really like it, but my loved one was not just ready. The community was very nice, good, and clean. They had some small or bigger apartments. They looked really nice and you can bring your own furniture. We had lunch with them, and the food was very good. Their dining area was very clean, and everybody was very friendly.

Elmcroft of Kingsport turned out to be a perfect place for us. They have wonderful staff. The place was active. They have some exercise equipment that they can use independently. There is an arts and crafts center that has guided activities of all kinds of variety. There are trips that they take regularly by van with the activity’s director. It might be a hike or a walk or they go out for lunch.

Our visit with Elmcroft of Kingsport was OK. The staff that helped me tour the community was good and answered my inquiries about the place. Any question I had, they answered it. They showed me the rooms and the dining room. The only thing I did not like about it was that they just had a bedroom. However, it was clean. The staff showed me the activities room; nothing was going on that day, but it looked like they had different things for them to do there. They had a little nice porch to sit on and a nice room where a lot of people could go in and sit. The dining room looked really nice.

The person who showed me around at Elmcroft of Kingsport was lovely. I just did not like the feel of it. It seemed dark inside, but they seemed to have a lot of personal interaction with the residents. The rooms seemed a little smaller.

I went online and I found Elmcroft of Kingsport. The facility is good. It has been almost three months since he has been there. The staff are also good. The only thing is, I think the room can be kept cleaner. When I went there the last couple of times it smelled really bad. They have activities, but he doesn’t participate so I'm not really familiar with them.

My grandmother was a resident until she passed away recently after a brief illness. From the very beginning, the staff of Elmcroft treated her and us like family. They were always so professional and respectful. The facility was always clean and the dining room staff and food were top notch. When changes had to be made to her diet, they accommodated her so well. The nurses, director, and caregivers were incredible and so supportive during Gran's illness. We miss her terribly, but know that She was surrounded by angels at Elmcroft.

Everyone at this community is so caring. The minute you walk through the doors you can feel a difference and know you are in the right place. My brother has been at this community for 4 years and loves every minute of it. He has never been happier. When he first moved to Elmcroft he was depressed and didn't want to do anything. Now, he is a different man. He is outgoing, well taken care for, participates in all the activities, LOVES the food, and helps out whenever he can. We are so glad to have our brother at Elmcroft of Kingsport and would recommend it to anyone looking for a community for a loved one.
