Elm Crest Retirement Community

The 123-resident Elm Crest Home (formerly the Baptist Memorial Home) provides professional nursing care in a home like environment.  Elm Crest was designed as a natural extension of the original Baptist home, providing condominium living with easy access to dietary and nursing resources.  It is in the final stages of a multi-million dollar remodeling and expansion project to meet the needs of the next generation of Harlanites.
