Elkton Manor

My sister is happy at the Elkton Manor. At first, we didn't have nowhere to put her, and they took her. She's happy there. They really take good care of her with her condition. She's dying of cancer, and they keep a close eye on her. She's a heavy smoker and that's the only one we found where she's allowed to smoke, and we didn't want to take that away from her with her dying. As long as she can get up and go to smoke. They're just all around good people. At certain nights of the week there's no med tech there, so if you're in severe pain and it's after 11:00, you have to deal with it. It's very clean. They get three proper meals a day and it's good quality food. You got to watch cholesterol and sugar and all that stuff, but they have healthy meals, too. They're allowed to go out and walk and do activities. They are allowed to go to the Elkton Community Center, and they do activities down there.

Elkton Manor, although an older facility seems to satisfy the needs of many elderly people with all types of health issues. My grandmother stayed there until she passed away in July of 2010. It seemed to all of us in the family that she was well taken care of and the staff were a friendly group of people. Since it is located in a small community you get that small town feel. All of the other residents quickly made friends with my grandmother to the point it was like they were family. If emergency health care was needed the attendants and nurses would not hesitate to call 911, then the primary contact on the resident's paperwork. I would only recomend Elkton Manor for those who have slight mobility problems the hall ways are not wide enough to get a motorized scooter or wheelchair through well enough for them to house someone needing that kind of assistance.
