    Compassionate professional care with heart

    I'm very pleased with Elegant Care - compassionate, professional 24/7 staff (Rosemary, Sharon, Audrey), daily medication monitoring, excellent home-cooked balanced meals, spotless private rooms, and residents treated like family with good dementia/hospice support. There were a few communication lapses and isolated incidents of rudeness/neglect reported, but overall I highly recommend this well-run, caring facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is predominantly positive, with multiple reviewers praising Elegant Care, LLC for compassionate, attentive caregiving and a home-like environment. The most frequently cited strengths are the around-the-clock availability of qualified staff, consistent monitoring of medications and medical conditions, and a family-style atmosphere where residents are treated with dignity. Several reviewers named individual staff (Rosemary, Sharon, Audrey, Nellie) and the owners as especially caring and professional, indicating strong person-centered relationships between staff, residents, and families. Many comments emphasize that residents are safe, comfortable, and well looked-after, with staff who respond quickly to concerns and keep families informed with timely updates.

    Clinical and day-to-day care aspects receive strong positive mention. Daily medication checks, cooperation with hospice services, and administrator involvement in addressing clinical issues (for example, skin care recommendations) are repeatedly noted. Dementia care is specifically called out as a strength, with consistent caregivers and Spanish-speaking staff contributing to better communication and culturally appropriate care for some families. Practical routines—like Sunday shower access, birthday celebrations, organized clothing and personal items, and private rooms that residents can furnish—contribute to residents’ sense of dignity and quality of life.

    Facility and hygiene themes are also prominent. A majority of reviewers describe the home as very clean, with spotless bedding, clean towels, and well-kept private rooms. Homemade and well-balanced meals served family-style are frequently praised, with several reviewers describing the food as delicious and nutritious. Reviewers value the hospitality and the small, home-like atmosphere that many staff members foster, including efforts to make special days meaningful and to ensure comfort “100% of the time.” Additionally, some families note the facility is an affordable option with straightforward, peaceful visitation.

    However, there are notable negative reports that introduce a degree of inconsistency in the overall picture. A minority of reviews report serious concerns: rude or yelling staff, instances of poor English or communication barriers, and descriptions suggesting neglect (reports of soiled diapers and a horrible odor). These accounts describe feeling unsafe or unwelcome during visits, and in at least one case a visitor found staff to be uninformed about a scheduled visit. Such reports contrast sharply with the overwhelmingly positive accounts and suggest variability in staff behavior and performance across shifts or among different employees.

    Activity programming and amenities receive mixed feedback. While personalized attention and special events (like birthday celebrations) are praised, a few reviewers requested more activities tailored to lower-functioning residents, indicating a gap in engagement programs for people with greater cognitive or physical limitations. One review described the facility’s amenities as “bare bones,” which aligns with comments about it being a lower-cost option—suggesting that while essentials and care are generally strong, some non-clinical amenities may be limited compared with higher-end facilities.

    In summary, Elegant Care, LLC appears to provide strong, compassionate caregiving for many residents, with consistent strengths in 24/7 staffing, clinical monitoring, clean facilities, and quality homemade meals. The environment is often described as family-like and peaceful, with staff who go beyond basic tasks to personalize care. At the same time, several serious negative reports—particularly around communication barriers, occasional unprofessional behavior, and isolated hygiene/neglect concerns—indicate inconsistency that prospective families should note. Patterns suggest the facility delivers high-quality, affordable assisted living for many residents, but with variability that makes direct observation, careful questioning about staff training and supervision, and attention to activity programming for lower-functioning residents important considerations for families evaluating Elegant Care.
