Resident and Family Reviews
After observing a change in personality where my Mother was not participating, skipping meals, and not feeling well much of the time, we felt a move was necessary to hopefully break the cycle. Moving to The Elms of Lynchburg ’s one-floor facility with a smaller community has proven to be beneficial as she is receiving more personalized attention. Staff members encourage participation and the medical team responds efficiently to questions and concerns. The overall cheerfulness and happy feel of the facility are welcoming to Mom and make her feel proud of her home.
