The range of care types may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, because multiple levels are available within one community. With 240 beds, Elmhurst Care Center is a larger community with more residents and staff, and its programs serve a larger group.

Religious services provide an option for residents who want faith-based support, and a doctor is on staff alongside the nursing and medical services.
Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.
