Admission Welcome to Elk Run Assisted Living Community! Elk Run takes its name from the adjoining Elk Run Meadows Open Space. We strive to create the most responsive, innovative, and progressive care environment available. We provide programs and services that contribute significantly to our resident's quality of life. Following is a guide to assist you and your loved one in becoming a member of our Community.

1st - Visit us! Our facility has all the amenities of a fine hotel, with more programs and services than your typical assisted living facility. (See our amenities insert)

2nd - While taking a tour, ask for our admission packet. By filling out the forms, you enable us to gain a tremendous amount of knowledge about your loved one. We want and need to know their functional capabilities, cognitive abilities, social likes and dislikes, hobbies and food preferences. We will then create a care plan tailored to meet the specific needs of your family member. If you see a room you like, put down a deposit.

3rd - Submit the application for residency. This will reserve a place for your family member to receive the best care, in a socially strong environment, at the earliest possible time. Our facility is popular and admission is not always automatic, which is why we advise those interested to get on the wait list as early as possible. Applications can be found inside our admission packet.

4th – As the time draws near for your loved one to become a member of our community, we will need to have the admission packet completed. This must include a copy of the resident's most recent medical history and physical from their physician, and if applicable, copies of your Power of Attorney or Guardianship papers. By taking the time necessary to provide us with all the requested information, you enable us to do our job to the best of our ability.

5th - On the day you move in, you are encouraged to bring your family member's own furnishings; however, we can provide some furniture at a reasonable additional cost. All clothing should be marked with a permanent fabric marker, to assist us in identifying resident’s laundry as we wash it.

6th - Stay in touch. You are always welcome to visit Elk Run. If you are so inclined, please consider volunteering. Volunteers help with activities, or help residents write letters, read, or reminisce. Attend our special ceremonies on holidays, birthdays, or with guest speakers. Without your feedback, we'll never reach our full potential. We enjoy talking with you and learning more about that unique individual, now a resident at Elk Run.
