Julie 2020-06-09 We put my mother in Élan Westpointe a year ago. Our experience isn't good, it's got poor management and they oversell and under-deliver. They have more activities advertised than they actually do. Their nursing staff is so good but the management is horrible. Their food is okay. I wish they have a stronger management that has more ability to control the staff and enforce corrections that need to be made. And I wish they're a company that pays more attention to the upkeep of the facilities and pays more attention to their residents' needs. Just because they're old doesn't mean that their opinion doesn't matter. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Mary 2020-01-23 Elan Westpointe is a beautiful place. The staff is a very friendly. She toured us around and she was excellent. It is a very cheerful and very spacious place. They have a very open and airy dining area. The apartment is very cheerful. I think my mom is going to like it very much. She is going to be moving in next week. They have people that plan activities during the day. They take them shopping, they have a movie theater, they have a wine bar and a coffee bar, they have a place where you can get sandwiches or snacks all day long, they have a beer garden, and they have a place where you can have some plants. They have people come in and do entertainment and wine tasting. Of all the ones I toured in the area, Élan Westpointe is the best one that I saw. It was beautiful, and I was thrilled they had an opening. I visited this facility

Linda 2019-12-20 I chose Élan Westpointe for my mom because I thought it was a place that was not picky about where you sit when you eat. She had a problem about getting her feelings hurt when she sits at the wrong table. But the same thing happened there, the people who are seated at their table will not give up their seats if someone new comes to sit there. I also chose it because the rooms were light and airy. Mom's on the second floor and she's in a very light room with a good view of New Braunfels from her room. She says the food is okay, she only goes down for lunch. She likes to cook in her room because she has her microwave, and she likes her toast and coffee. She doesn't go down for dinner because she's not hungry, but she does have food that she can make in her microwave or toaster if she does get hungry. They have activities during the day, they have trips where they take them to shop or at Walmart. They also have an RN there, she works with Pak Medical Group and the nurse can come to the room. She had some blood work done and they are following up on it for her. And that's very nice because she can schedule her nurse practitioner to come see her any time and the nurse seems very good. The staff is perfect and the chef is terrific. It's quite expensive but it's worth it, but they didn't have adequate parking. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Resident 2018-11-29 Élan Westpointe is very a nice place and spacious. They give you all the right answers, and the food is not any better than all the other nursing homes. I would say it's a great place for assisted living, but if you're coming for great food, then don't bother. They have nice activities. If you want to stay busy then you can stay busy. They have a good activity director, and that's really important. She always welcomes suggestions and stuff like that. The pet answer around here is, "We're going to look into it," but they never get back to you. That's the reason why a lot of things aren't successful, because of the lack of communication. It's part of the problem here. They're short staffed. For example, it took them four days to get the trash in my room picked up. And you have to argue with them because they'll argue that I don't have much trash in here, but I don't want it sitting around because there's diapers in there for four days. They said it won't happen again, and then it happened again. I had to argue with the person who picks up the trash. Attitude is everything. We're having problems getting help, which is really bad. The food seems stale and tasteless. I am/was a resident of this facility

Gloria 2018-06-26 I was very impressed with Elan Westpointe. It was well kept and did not smell. It was like entering an apartment building. During the tour, all the residents looked well kept. It was a very nice experience. They do the laundry and they also have a dining area. I met some of the staff who would work with my husband and assist him with his medication. The bathrooms had roll-in showers and holding bars. They also had a small exercise room with equipment for moderate type of exercises. They had movie nights with popcorn, Bible studies, Church services, and a van that could take them to doctors' appointments. The food smelled really good even though I was not able to try it. I visited this facility

HS 2018-03-27 We went to the Élan Westpointe assisted living and memory care sections. The staff seemed very caring. The facility was very new and very trendy. The rooms were over the top and very beautiful. It did not look like an assisted living place. You would think you were in a hotel in the mountains. It's a very beautiful place. I visited this facility

Linda 2017-10-10 I placed mom in the memory care of Elan Westpointe. They're fantastic, they're taking good care of her, and going above and beyond in making her happy. They take her to symphony orchestras. The food is more than sufficient, very well-done, and they have a very good chef. They have memory activities, all types of painting, artwork, Bingo, and social hours every Friday. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Visitor871551 2016-12-27 Élan Westpointe's price seemed to be very high in comparison to others. The guy that was showing us around commented that he didn't know if he could show us any apartments because sometimes people don't really like anybody looking at their rooms, which was ridiculous and a turn off. It didn't feel welcoming. We didn't even get to eat in the dining room because he didn't want to take up anybody's seat, which was a turn off, too. The facility was nice and the smallness of it was good for some people. It didn't have much; there wasn't a pool there. You get less square footage as well. They were also going through some company and employee changes. One lady showed me around, and when I went back a week later, she was gone. It seemed unstable, but they were going through a transition. I visited this facility

Annette 2018-09-14 What I liked about Élan Westpointe was the fact that people could age out in the facility. The staff seemed very nice. It was a large facility so there was lots of space for activities. One thing we didn't like was the fact that they didn't have one big room for my parents-in-law to live in. They'd have to use two rooms that were next to each other, so we'd have to use one room as a bedroom and one room as a living space, meaning we'd have to pay for two rooms. The facilities and activities were nice though. They have a lot of outings for their residents. My father-in-law could participate in the assisted living field trips as well as the memory care field trips, which I like. They have a nice game room and crafts. I also think they'd be very good with my mother-in-law as far as memory care activities. I still think they should have one room big for couples though. I visited this facility

Hi Julie, thank you for relaying your experience to us at Elan Westpointe Assisted Living. We greatly value the feedback from all our visitors and guests. Our goal is to consistently improve upon the overall resident and visitor experience every day. We believe our management team is the best in the business and it disappoints us to here that you do not feel the same. The strength and success of our departments begins with leadership from our managers. Put simply, our team would be lost without their guidance and support throughout this year’s tragic events. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic has limited the number of activities our residents are able to participate in. As we begin our government designed phased rollouts, more activities will start to become available for our residents and guests. If you have any ideas to share or would like to speak with us directly, please message us at Wecare@csrliving.com. Once we receive your message, we will place you in direct contact with an executive team member who will discuss any concerns or ideas you may have. We greatly appreciate your patience during this difficult time and hope that your family is doing well.
