Our family had an in person tour with Elan Gardens, Inc. and all of the staff members we had met with, we found to be very professional and they did a very thorough job with the tour. We ultimately had found a community that was just a little bit better of a fit.
The place was nice. Price was crazy but said it doesn't change based off level of care. The lady made me feel pressured like she was giving the room away unless I put deposit down right then. She made me feel rushed through the appointment as well.
I thought Elan Gardens was nice. Everybody we interacted with was very nice. But it was too pricey, and I also though it would be too big and overwhelming for my loved one.
We chose Elan Gardens mainly due to the location and the price as well as the staff was very friendly. I got a lot more information from them during the tour than I did at the other facilities we looked into. Their rooms have satellite so mom has all the channels that she wants to watch. They are also individually set up to control their own heat. I would recommend to others looking.

The staff have been helpful and encouraging. This is a nice clean community. The food is good and they do offer some nice activities. This is a smaller community so mom does receive more attentive and hands on care. I would recommend this community.

We moved mom from living in her own condo in FL to Elan Gardens. The entire experience has been effortless! The entire staff is not only helpful but really understands not only Moms anxiety but our's as well. No question is a bother and any request is accommodated. Of course, this is a huge transition for our 89 year old Mom and there have been hiccups but we are so happy with her progress. The activities are abundant and varied. The activity director keeps all engaged and helps when needed. The resident aides are all very compassionate and are around the facility to assist residents all day and night. There is a Kosher kitchen which presents some issues for our Mom but the food is all cooked fresh and on premises. There are alternate choices at all meals. We made the right choice!!

Elan Gardens Inc. was just what my mother needed and just in time! My mother was suffering from Dementia and several other health care issues. I was told she needed to go to take the tour of the facility and I just loved everything about it. The Administrator and Assistant Administrator were both there since the facility was opened. How many times do you find a non-profit facility under the original management. The residents all live in their own private apartments with 24 hour nursing on site. Nurses are the only staff that administer my mothers medications and her health seems to be actually improving. If you are lucky enough to find an apartment for your loved one at Elan Gardens, I highly recommend it. [Removed] Philadelphia , PA

We love Elan Gardens! Nothing is too much for the staff. Everyone is so helpful. Our Mom has something to do all day long. Before moving to Elan, Mom spent a great deal of time at home. Now she is on the go and loving it.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
