Building on a Strong Foundation - Elim Park

The Elim Park Lifestyle
Elim Park promotes active living, and a lifestyle in which residents are
encouraged to grow spiritually and maintain their independence.
With the hassle-free benefits of housekeeping and maintenance, a
restaurant-style dining venue, and endless opportunities to
participate in travel, entertainment, and the arts, there is never a
dull moment. The calendar is overflowing and we have something
exciting planned for everyone.
Residents serve on committees, such as the Resident Food
Committee, taste-testing and submitting ideas for new menu items.
Many of our residents are also volunteers, offering valuable services
that range from clerical work to ushering at concerts in Nelson Hall.
The addition of our Fitness and Wellness Center in 2008 has had a
huge impact on the way residents design their lifestyle. In both independent
living and healthcare, more and more residents are choosing
to take advantage of the health benefits of diet and exercise.
At Elim Park Place, residents decide which dreams matter most; Elim
Park is just the vehicle they use to pursue them.

Prehabilitation
Success
Fred Beck
Fred Beck and his doctors were
amazed at how quickly he recovered
from his knee replacement
surgery in March 2009. Fred credits
this to the “prehabilitation”
program he followed, designed by
Elim Park’s Wellness team. By
using three different leg strengthening
machines for several weeks
prior to surgery, he was able to
regain strength, range of motion,
and normal gait in record time.
Fred still continues his exercise
routine, and concludes, “It was
the smartest thing I ever did. I
heartily endorse it.”
