Fargo Elim Senior Living Community sits in a quiet neighborhood and gives seniors several living options depending on their needs, since folks can choose from independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing short-term rehab, skilled nursing long-term care, and hospice care, all in the same place, so there's help if things change over time or someone starts needing extra care, and the community is associated with Cassia and works hard to support each person, since they've got trained staff, a registered nurse on duty at all times, and on-site physician visits to make sure residents get good health management. People living here find furnished apartments with studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms that have full kitchens or kitchenettes, large windows with blinds, private baths that include grab bars and walk-in showers, and climate controls for personal comfort, plus there's satellite TV and basic Wi-Fi. The dining is simple and thoughtful, with three meals prepared daily using good ingredients, with menu choices, daily snacks, and beverages included in the rent, and they offer continental breakfast, dinner, and supper in a homelike setting, so meals are never an afterthought. Folks enjoy scheduled housekeeping, weekly linen changes, and light cleaning so regular chores aren't a constant worry. Every apartment has an emergency alert system, 24-hour supervision, and an urgency response system for safety, plus up to three services a day and two reassurance checks, which brings peace of mind to many, especially those with health needs or mobility concerns. The care team will help with medication, bathing, dressing, and transfers, including up to two-person transfer assistance, and there's detailed help for those who need more medical management or complex care, especially in the Assisted Living Plus+ group. There's a full activity calendar, where activity professionals organize educational programs, travel seminars, social events, arts and crafts, entertainment, and even guest speakers, and there are clubs, activity groups, and a family party room to keep life interesting and social. Residents also find both indoor and outdoor spaces like cozy living rooms, outdoor patios, gardens, and a library for reading or relaxing. The spiritual life program is strong, with a Spiritual Director named David, staff chaplains, group prayer, Bible studies, men's groups, and a non-denominational chapel, with spiritual care for residents and family members who want it, plus there are devotional services both onsite and offsite. There are beautician services with professional stylists for haircuts or barbering, and transportation is available for scheduled trips out to restaurants, attractions, and entertainment, so people aren't stuck indoors. The skilled nursing center is set up for short-term rehabilitation after hospital stays or for those needing long-term or medically complex nursing care, and there are therapies like physical, speech, and occupational therapy available, with personalized care plans for each resident. Family and visitors can gather in the party room, and the staff helps organize move-in coordination for new residents. The community's facilities are handicap accessible, allow close pets, and focus on making daily life smooth and comfortable, while keeping safety and social needs in mind. The staff and engagement team take their time to know everyone and encourage friendly connections, and the commitment to spiritual and physical wellness shows across the sites. Fargo Elim Senior Living Community received the Best of Senior Living Award for its care and support, but families usually pick it because of its range of options, its clear routines, and the steady feeling of community and support that folks notice-there's no hurry, just a feeling that life can move along with good company and the right help nearby.

3540 S University Dr, Fargo, ND, 58104- Assisted living
Friendly, supportive staff; nursing inconsistent
I moved my mom into Fargo Elim and overall I'm pleased. The staff are consistently friendly, empathetic and responsive - timely with messages and very supportive to families, even during COVID - and they made my mom feel at home and helped her make friends. The building and grounds are beautiful, clean and accessible (short halls, accessible showers, laundry on every floor), and her one-bedroom is adequate. Food was generally okay - good breakfasts and big portions, though sometimes bland and meal information/dietary options were limited. My main concern is occasional inconsistency in nursing follow-up with doctor's orders. It's a calm, smaller community I would recommend, though it's on the pricier side.
