The Elimcare Story

The Palms of ElimThe Elim Mission

Elimcare Communities exists to assist seniors and their families through the often felt, desert-like experiences of aging, providing oases of quality care, unconditional acceptance, and memory-creating moments for the residents and their families.

The Elim Name

Our name, Elim, refers to a desert oasis. Elim was the name of the first oasis to which Moses brought the Israelites after they left captivity in Egypt. The oasis of Elim was a place of rest, refreshment, and rejuvenation while in a desert experience. The various losses an individual experiences as s/he ages often makes aging feel like "desert experiences."

Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and
seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.
(Exodus 15:27)

They left Marah and went to Elim, where there were twelve
springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there.
(Numbers 33:9)

When we go through "desert-like experiences," we tend to look for a place to rest and refocus. Elimcare Communities are committed to continually offer restful, refreshing, and re-energizing long-term care to seniors and their families.
