Elk Meadows Assisted Living was nice. The lady who took me around seemed like I sort of took her off guard, but she showed me the room. Mainly, we went in the memory care because my husband has Lewy Body dementia. She showed me one other room in the assisted care living part. It was where you go for respite care. She gave me their list of prices. They're more inclusive with their prices, instead of having all these other charges on top of what the base prices are. I liked that better as far as pricing went. The rooms were very nice. They were a little bit bigger. They were nice and clean. However, it was a red flag when they didn't know I was coming. The other issue is that I had been trying to call them on the phone myself for several days; no one picked up the phone. When I got there, there were people at the desk. They were not answering the phone. You can leave a message, but then no one calls back. The person who took me around was very good. The facility itself is a little bit older. The paint in the hall is darker. It's kind of a tan color and not quite as bright and cheerful as the other place was, but it was nice.

This place was horrible! The food was always cold, burnt, or late. Call light sometimes took 2 hours to be answered. Low staffed always!!!!!! the staff run all the time, because it may be only 2 people there in the evening total. The rugs never get cleaned, nor the bathrooms. My mom wanted to stay c...

This place was horrible! The food was always cold, burnt, or late. Call light sometimes took 2 hours to be answered. Low staffed always!!!!!! the staff run all the time, because it may be only 2 people there in the evening total. The rugs never get cleaned, nor the bathrooms. My mom wanted to stay close to home so we did not move her. But she suffered greatly for it and so did we. The place had 3 ED's in one year. No one wants to stay! I would never recommend Elk Meadows, its worth the drive to find a quality facility that can pass a state survey.

The Activities Director, [name removed], is so fun and outgoing. She really makes a difference on a daily basis. I’ve never known an assisted living community to do so many fun things.

The Activities Director, [name removed], is so fun and outgoing. She really makes a difference on a daily basis. I’ve never known an assisted living community to do so many fun things. This month, a group went out to visit Llamas on a farm. A few days later, horses came into the building to visit the residents. The Executive Director, [name removed], is compassionate and you can tell he just wants the best for his residents. The location is lovely, the views out the lofted windows are beautiful. Peaceful and serenity, a good place to be...
