I am originally from Scranton and moved to Florida in 1999. My parents and sister still live in the area. I work in skilled nursing in Florida but not associated with Elan Nursing and Rehab. My dad was recently admitted to Elan and I want to express my sincere appreciation to the staff at the nursing center. They have been wonderful through a very stressful time, and my father is starting to settle in. The team has been so nice and responsive with my family.<br><br>Again, thank you to the Elan team for everything you do every day

If this place is a disgrace than it's important to file a complaint so that things can change fir the better. Action speaks louder than words.

My husband had been in the home for less than a month. He was recuperating from an operation. He was given the strengthening exercises & nourishing food that he needed. He was very thin & they provided him with a comfortable sleeping mattress. The place seemed clean whenever I visited. There were no odors in the hallways. He was on the second floor. The social worker was an excellent person, helping me with all my concerns. I never did get to meet him. They also washed my husband's personal clothes. I believe the nurses were so attentive & a person brought my husband Ed a daily devotional reading. Someone provided Ed with a radio as he doesn't watch tv. He doesn't drink coffee, but he was given coffee everyday. There was no way he could get hot tea. He didn't complain because that is not his way. Overall being at The Jewish Home was a good experience.

This was the most disgusting place it was my misfortunes be a patient<br>I would rate it a nightmare. All employees with the exception of a few nurses were rude nasty and completely uncaring. The rooms were not the cleanest either<br>Why would it take one hour and ten minutes to answer a call to use the rest room
