We chose this community because out of the ones that we looked into for my friend, this one was the best. The room sizes are good and spacious. I have eaten here and the food is very good, they have a lot of variety. I would recommend Elan Buena Vista to a friend or family member.

The community is very nice. I feel relieved knowing she is taken care of and is starting to get acclimated. I would highly recommend this community to others. The only thing I think could improve is the variety of food offered.
