A Nice Place
reviewed on: 07/06/2020 by AnonymousWe were very happy when my mom was at Elmcroft of Grayson Valley. The food was good, Room size and layout of the community were adequate. The staff was good to us. They have outdoor space for the residents to use.
Very nice place!
reviewed on: 11/10/2014 by AnonymousThings have gone well overall with Elmcroft! It's a very nice looking place, and everyone we've worked with has been very friendly! The lady who handles their sales, as well as the head nurse, are both so energetic and so good with the residents! They're always doing little things to make people smile! The head nurse had a few different costumes that she wore around Halloween, which I thought was cute. The staff have been right on top of any issues we've had, and they've been very accommodating helping Mom get settled in. When it was time for Mom to move in the bed we ordered for her hadn't arrived yet, and they were happy to lend us one to make sure everything stayed on schedule with her move-in!
Clean place, friendly staff
reviewed on: 05/29/2015 by AnonymousOverall I think they do a good job at Elmcroft of Grayson Valley! It is a nice looking. clean facility, and the staff here all seem very friendly and helpful. I'd give them high marks across the board! One thing I think they could improve would be to have more people available for wheelchair assistance, sometimes it can take a bit before someone is available to help get my loved one to the dining room.
This Community Is All High Marks
reviewed on: 06/07/2016 by AnonymousI have enjoyed the pleasure of working with A Place For Mom. Mike was my advisor and he is very nice and gave me all the information that I needed to make a decision for my mom. Everything was set up quickly and I would definitely refer anyone to A Place For Mom to get the best results. This community is a lovely place and my mom is doing fine. I have nothing but high marks for the staff and community of Elmcroft of Grayson Valley!
Shaky Start
reviewed on: 04/12/2017 by Terry BaggettGot off to a rough start on first two days after Mother moved in. Up to that point all was well, everything done professionally, but failed to give her blood pressure medicine to her that night and the next morning; that set me off! After that was straighten out things have gone well. Mother is on a "soft" diet and they don't always do well in following that! I'm a business man and I get upset when people don't do all they claim should should do for their client/patient; but I will say that Mother wasn't too keen on going to a home to begin with, but she tells me every day that the ladies who tend to her each day are the nicest people she has ever met. If they can keep her happy and safe then I'll be happy, but you better do your job.
