Here we are in the midst of a pandemic and I am so blessed that my grandmother is at Elms Haven. The staff and families have gotten together to make sure that residents are safe, well taken care of, given love, and attention. We have daily calls with updates on Covid-19. We have a family support group that helps each other during this time and provides snacks for the nursing staff. We love the staff so much and appreciate everyone at Elms Haven.10 stars for care, communication, and community!! Elms Haven is a nice facility. I adore all of the staff and appreciate them all so much. They take wonderful care of my grandmother and all of the residence there. Not only do they care for their needs but they really listen to their stories. I am there almost daily and really feel that they don't consider working there as a job but as a passion. Thank you all so much for your dedication!
