Here at Elm St. Assisted Living, we have
learned that as we age,
luxury comes to mean
something very personal. 
As we arrive at needing assistance,
having that helper be someone we know
and who knows us,
is the true meaning of luxury.

"My mother was a resident at Elm Street. She was able to bring her own furniture, some of which my father had built, and enjoy her own room and bath.  When I visited the home was usually filled with the aromas of the wonderful home-cooked food they served.  It was really nice for my mother to be able to sit at the dining room table with the other residents and reminisce about periods of their lives they all shared.  Jill Wallace and the staff became such advocates for my mother’s care and shared their knowledge about what to expect as she became more feeble and confused.  I cannot recommend this facility high enough and hope they have an opening for me when I need it!"

A Small Facility Means Personal Service

56 Elm St has only six rooms and five staff.  This enables the staff to have time to enjoy getting to know the residents.  They are able to facilitate hobbies and activities.  It means that mealtimes are simple and quiet enough that the confused resident can handle the stimuli and the hard of hearing resident can have a conversation.  It means that the resident is reassured by the familiarity of staff.

All of our residents find that, as their needs change, their home at 56 Elm St. Assisted Living changes with them. If a resident finds she needs more assistance with dressing or bathing, for example, her level of care will also change. "Just as would happen in any family setting", says owner Jill Wallace,  "accommodations are made as personal situations change."

 56 Elm St. has the feel of home. Each of the six private rooms has its own half bath, telephone, and cable hookup. There is wireless internet access throughout the building. The large living room offers a computer,  a piano, a "community" TV, and numerous books and cozy corners for curling up and reading. It has become a "favorite spot" for residents and their guests. There is space enough for musical groups, sewing circles, or storytelling.

In another wing of the building there is a lovely yoga studio, HeartSpeak, and a massage therapist.  Elm St. Assisted Living offers residents a free monthly appointment with the therapist, and free weekly yoga or exercise classes.  The HeartSpeak space is also used by various community groups, music performances and rehearsals, and Sunday morning Friends Meeting.  It is ideal for family gatherings and holiday celebrations.
