Disclosure Information
With more than 25 years experience, we at The Elms realize the anxiety seniors face with making a move into a new home. Keeping this in mind, we have made becoming part of our Elms’ Family as easy as possible. There are no long-term commitments. There are no buy-in fees. The Elms is a month to month rental where every resident receives the following services at no additional cost:
The Elms is a "SMOKE-FREE" community
Monthly Rental Rates
Rates reflect single occupancy only. For an additional person, add $ 1,800.00 per month.
Refundable security deposit equal to one month’s rent is required upon entrance.
*A 25% surcharge will be added to the security deposit for all residents who have pets.

When assisted living services are needed to help our residents maintain their independent lifestyle, the following are available:
Administration of Medications $ 550.00 per month
Insuring that our residents receive the medications they need as prescribed by their physicians is vital to their quality of life. As a result, those residents who receive assistance with medications are assured to receive what medications they need, when they need them by licensed nurses or certified medication technicians. In addition to the actual administration of their medications, the following services are also provided: re-ordering of medications, medication changes, physician’s communications, family communications and quarterly assessments.
On the occasions when a resident has been out of the community for a period of time due to a medical procedure, an episode or an extended leave of absence, it will be necessary to re-establish the resident in our medication administration program. This will include but is not limited to a State mandated re-assessment of the resident, confirmation by the resident’s physicians of all of their medication orders, new instructions to the resident and the updating of their personal medication administration record (MAR). Residents will be charged a flat rate of $150.00 for this service. In the event it is necessary for our Resident Care Staff to develop a “Wellness Plan” that includes Hospice Coordination, there will be a flat rate charge of $250.00.

Wellness Management Fee $ 20.00 per quarter hour
A resident may need to be seen by our nurse but does not need the full support of our “Assistance with Medications” program. Physicians may request special steps be taken to prepare for a procedure or surgery, coordinate lab work, arrange for a temporary transfer to hospital or rehabilitation facility, or the resident may just not feel well and would like the nurse to check on them. When these occasions arise, this service is available.

Morning and Evening Dressing and Comprehensive Daily Hygiene Assistance $ 500.00 per month
This personalized program is designed for those residents who may need help with getting dressed and undressed. Care Aides are available to reach those hard to reach buttons or help with those elastic stockings that are just too difficult to put on alone. This service also includes a variety of personal daily hygiene services. Don’t struggle, we are glad to help!

Assistance with Bathing $21.00 per shower
Bathing can be one of the most dangerous parts of any resident’s day. That is why our staff of personal care aides is available to provide assistance with showers and keep our residents out of harms way.

Daily Light Housekeeping $ 250.00 per month
Regardless of the reason, some residents like to keep their suites looking their best on a daily basis but are unable to maintain them themselves. Our housekeepers are available on a daily basis for bed making, bathroom touch-ups, dusting and vacuuming, in order to keep your suite beautiful and safe.
