- Janene Swanson ★★★★★ February 15, 2025
Elim was absolutely phenomenal with the care of my husband in his recovery from cancer and life-altering colo-rectal surgery! His mental health improved by leaps and bounds, and he gained necessary physical strength and skills to prosper at home. From his case manager, Lindsay, to the kitchen staff to the care staff, everyone was so kind, attentive, and intentional in their care. Clean, fresh facility with comfortable areas to gather with family and friends, and food that was deliciously prepared. I would recommend Elim 100x over! I have never witnessed better! Thank you, Elim, for giving my husband back his zest for life!

Employees were great! Everything else, not so great. Look elsewhere first. Can't hang on to staff, if the empoyees won't stay, my love ones won't stay, it's that easy. They were always trying to pull something over on my family, financially.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
