Programs and Services

At the Elliott Community, we believe our residents should have the opportunity to live life to their fullest. To help support this belief, many programs and services are offered. Some are available to all residents, some to retirement residents only and some to long-term care residents only. In addition, many organized social activities help to build a strong sense of community.

The newest addition to our community is a café open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. Open to the general public, our café offers a wide selection of food and beverages.
