Overview of Elim Health Care Center Elim Health Care Center offers nursing home care, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, respite care, and skilled nursing in Fargo, North Dakota. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space, while independent living is intended for residents who do not need daily care. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site, with short-term rehabilitation and long-term care available, and hospice care addresses end-of-life needs. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time away, and the range of care levels may suit someone whose needs grow over time.
The center has 88 beds, giving families a clear sense of its available capacity. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units can accommodate residents living alone, couples moving together, or someone who wants a separate bedroom.

A salon, barber, spa, gym, library, chapel, and restaurant give residents access to grooming, wellness, reading, worship, and dining spaces on site.
