When the time came to relocate my older sister to a memory care facility, the Elan staff worked wonderfully to meet our needs in a timely manner. All the staff has embraced her with so much affection, that she truly feels at home. She is going on a year's stay there, and we have never observed any negativity towards her and our family. Thank you for being there for her and her needs!! Gabriel Chapa

Everyone is so friendly and helpful! The food is excellent way better than what we were use to! Everyone makes my Mom feel special! We moved here so excited from our family perspective my mom was hesitant to move, but now she is so happy she made this move. We are too. We are grateful for Misti the community relations director. Marti the executive director has helped us with anything we needed and we are greatful. The activities director Amy is amazing and they have a ton of things to keep my mom active. Kevin the maintenance director also has helped us in anyway mom has needed. The care staff is awesome and so are the housekeepers. We are thankful for this community.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Elan Assisted Living! The community itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly sets it apart are the people. Every single caregiver and staff member we’ve met has been so sweet, genuine, and truly passionate about their work. You can tell they aren’t just “doing a job” — they sincerely care about the seniors they’re helping every day. For me, it gives such peace of mind knowing my mom is not only in a safe and welcoming environment, but also surrounded by people who treat her with kindness and respect. Choosing Elan has been such a blessing for our family, and I’m so grateful for the care and love they show.
