What Elim Park does

Elim Park is a not-for-profit Life Plan Community (Continuing Care Retirement Community) operating on a 41-acre campus in Cheshire, Connecticut since 1958, with organizational roots tracing to 1906. It serves adults aged 62 and older through a full continuum of care delivered on a single campus: independent living across seven named neighborhoods with 50+ apartment floor plans (500-1,600 sq ft), a-la-carte Assisted Living Services Agency (ALSA) delivered in residents' apartments, a 42-bed residential care home, 24-hour skilled nursing/long-term care, a 30-bed subacute post-acute rehabilitation wing, and outpatient therapy including aquatic therapy.

The organization's revenue model is a hybrid of CCRC perpetual license entrance fees (starting at $175,301), recurring monthly service fees (starting at $2,842), per-diem Medicare/Medicaid/private insurance reimbursements for skilled nursing and rehabilitation, a-la-carte assisted living service charges, and charitable contributions through The Elim Park Foundation (established 2009). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through personal campus tours, open houses, retirement counselors, and hospital referral partnerships with Yale New Haven Hospital and Hartford HealthCare for post-acute rehabilitation.

The campus integrates lifestyle amenities that drive differentiation: a 300+ seat professional concert hall (Nelson Hall) generating ticketed entertainment revenue open to the public, three full-service restaurants, a 60x30-foot heated indoor pool, a Fitness & Wellness Center offering 25+ fitness classes, an Arts & Leisure Center with pottery studio and golf simulator, Elim Park University (peer-led lifelong learning), and Elim Park-TV (in-house broadcast channel). The healthcare operation uses specialized clinical equipment through a partnership with Accelerated Care Plus (ReDS lung fluid monitor, biofeedback speech therapy). Elim Park holds CARF International accreditation continuously since 1988, CMS 5-Star Rating, and U.S. News & World Report High Performing designation for short-term rehabilitation.
