Elan Gardens in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, offers two primary levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need help with day-to-day activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication reminders can opt for Assisted Living, while those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia receive a more structured Memory Care program tailored to cognitive needs. Both care types are supported by licensed nurses and therapy professionals on site, and the community can transition residents between levels if their needs change.

The community’s clinical support is broad. Diabetes monitoring and management are available, as are restorative services from occupational, physical, and speech therapists. Short-term respite stays accommodate caregivers who need temporary relief or individuals recovering from an illness. Incontinence care, ambulatory support, and medication management are handled in-house, and hospice care can be arranged when needed. An emergency call system and a fully sprinkled building add a layer of safety, and pet-focused programs recognize the therapeutic value of animal interaction.

Accommodation options range from studio and efficiency layouts with kitchenettes to larger apartments that can include wall-to-wall carpeting, in-unit washers and dryers, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Basic utilities, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and central air conditioning are included, and housekeeping is provided. Residents can gather around a central fireplace, relax in outdoor garden areas, and use onsite parking, although not every unit features every amenity listed.

Dining is structured around three daily chef-prepared meals served restaurant-style, with alternate selections for residents who have special dietary preferences. Kosher choices are available, healthy snacks are accessible throughout the day, and guests may join residents for meals. Staff can adapt menus to physician-ordered diets, and hydration stations are positioned in common areas for easy access.

Daily life is supplemented by an activity center, a game room, arts and crafts studios, and a library with computer access. Residents can join clubs, take part in wellness programs, or head outdoors for walking paths, social outings, and day trips. A swimming pool supports low-impact exercise, and planned events keep residents engaged with the broader community.
