I am/was a resident of this facility

I'm at Creekside at Elfindale and I'm really happy here. It's a perfect independent living in a community that has very gorgeous grounds. Everybody is very friendly. They have taken care of us well through the COVID thing. It's just a fantastic place to live. To me, when it comes to retiring, this place is the icing on the cake. The facility is fantastic. I eat in the dining area about four or five times a month, and I've never had a bad serving of food. We have a clubhouse where there is a…

I really liked the area at Creekside at Elfindale. The food was delicious and very good. Creekside at Elfindale was beautiful, but I got to do more tours. I only met one lady who took us on a tour and a man who waited us. Both were very nice. The place was beautiful.

My mom moved into Creekside at Elfindale. The appliances are updated, which was the main difference from other places we looked at which were more expensive. My mom is in independent living in a duplex, so there's more privacy. The staff is wonderful and very nice. My mom can participate in all the activities in the club house for free. The dining room is excellent, amazing, and beautiful with chandeliers and windows. They can have free ice cream from the ice cream bar. My mom pays for dinner meals, but she ge…

This retirement community is top notch. The food is delicious and very nutritious. They take care to prepare healthy menus and purchase higher quality selections, nice green vegetables, real butter and cream, etc. The residents are very happy there, at least all the ones I have met. The dining room is fancy, the facility is very clean, and there are many activities for the residents. Creekside is also well staffed with knowledgeable employees. I would feel comfortable having a loved one stay there.

Creekside of Elfindale was much larger than I needed, but it was very nice and new. They have garages and duplexes although they don?t have a lot of services. They go to various stores once a week, but if you have to go like to the doctors, you have to find your own transportation. They had apartments with three meals a day. They do have the separate units like duplexes with garages attached. They have a lovely wooded area, so you get to see animals. They had meeting rooms; there were people looking at some sort of…
