Overall Review

Cons

  • pro The facility needs an update and the atmosphere wasn't very cheery.
  • pro Wasn't able to sample the food nor were we offered any samples to take with us.

  • pro The entry to its Memory Care wing is very visible to public area traffic and appears quite forbidding.

Review

Elan of Spanish Springs receives a mix of positive and negative feedback from reviewers. One of the main advantages of this assisted living facility is its location, which is described as very walkable. Residents also have the option to pay for an amenities card that grants access to activities like golf. However, some reviewers feel that the facility is in need of an update and that the atmosphere lacks cheer.

During a tour, one reviewer found the staff welcoming and informative, and appreciated a checklist provided to help with their decision-making process. However, they found the entry to the Memory Care wing to be forbidding due to its visible security measures. Another visitor had a more positive experience, describing Elan as wonderful and praising the knowledgeable and caring staff who seemed genuinely concerned about their mother's needs.

One common theme among reviewers is the presence of nurses at Elan, which is seen as a significant advantage compared to facilities with only certified nursing assistants (CNAs). However, there are mixed opinions about the quality of food, with some reviewers expressing disappointment while others note improvements. The cleanliness and staffing levels also come under scrutiny, with several reviewers suggesting that improvements are needed in these areas.

Overall, the majority of reviews convey a positive experience at Elan of Spanish Springs. Many emphasize the caring nature of the staff in creating a homey atmosphere. Activities and entertainment options are praised as well. Some reviewers mention feeling like part of a close-knit community and appreciate having access to 24/7 nursing care.

One reviewer contemplating moving into Elan noted that while some apartment sizes may be small, they still provide enough space for comfortable living. They particularly enjoyed observing residents engaging in activities such as singing, dancing, and crafting during their visit.

However, not all aspects receive praise; one reviewer describes their experience with the memory care unit as unsatisfactory due to limited activities and what they perceived as warehousing clients rather than providing adequate care. On the other hand, another reviewer expresses great satisfaction with the community, highlighting fabulous staff, excellent food, cleanliness, and a wide range of daily activities.

In conclusion, Elan of Spanish Springs offers a caring environment with positive aspects such as accessible amenities and attentive staff. While there are areas that could be improved upon, many residents seem content with their decision to live in this assisted living facility.
