Elcor Health Services has been providing family care choices for over 40 years. Elcor was founded in 1965 by Lester Poes and is now owned and administered by his son, Richard.
Elcor is conveniently located on the outskirts of Horseheads, NY, halfway between Elmira and Corning. Our three modern, adjoined buildings are pleasantly situated on a grassy slope just off Route 17/I-86.
Elcor offers a full range of special activities and choice to our residents from religious services to two beauty parlors. Meals are carefully prepared and served in cheerful dining rooms. Special menus, including Kosher and Vegetarian are offered to accommodate the individual preferences of our residents.
Courtyards and Covered Patios For the fun of it!
Elcor offers protected outside areas for residents to enjoy. Gardens are planned, planted and enjoyed by many of our residents. Bird baths and wind chimes add a touch of home.

Our on-site medical team is at Elcor daily. Staffed with five physicians and two nurse practitioners, the medical team is able to provide daily interaction with residents and family. This assures our residents timely intervention and the best possible medical care. Residents are also welcome to retain the health care services of their private physicians.
* Personal Care
Salon suites are staffed by professional beauticians and barbers. Residents may select hair styles and colors with the comfort of knowing their instructions will be followed through to their satisfaction. Personal laundry and housekeeping services are also provided.
Steaming Baths
Imagine relaxing in a whirlpool bath. Enjoy the bubbles and the fragrance while your hair is being washed and your personal needs attended.
* Adult Day Care
An innovative, convenient, alternative in meeting the needs of the elderly and their families.
DayTyme is a program which involves individuals, family and the community in a team effort approach to keep elderly residents in the community and home with their families. Adult day care provides specialized services which motivate spirits and rekindles interest in health and activity.
DayTyme is a social, family experience in which staff and community members laugh and participate in crafts, church services, and exercise workouts while still remaining focused on the physical and mental capacity of all participants.
Elcor Health Services has been a member of the community for over thirty years and relishes its role in providing thought provoking, helpful and enjoyable programs which remember the individual needs.
* Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation for that "get up and go" feeling!
Our rehabilitation program combines the skill of registered physical and occupational therapists. These professionals design, monitor, evaluate and provide individual therapy programs for residents. This individualized therapy program improves functional abilities and enhances quality of life.
Rehab services are available seven days a week. Hot packs and stimulating massages that rejuvenate and create a deep down warm felling are provided in our therapy suites. After successfully achieving rehabilitative goals, many residents return to their homes and families.
Speech and audiology evaluations and treatments are also available and arranged as needed.
* Dining & More
Choice Menus A fine dining experience!
Whether residents join friends in the dining room, choose to eat in the privacy of their own room or entertain family in our private dining room, our goal is to prepare meals that taste great, look great and of course, meet nutritional guidelines. Elcor offers special dining menus and choice of meals so that residents may enjoy a variety of tempting selections.
Rainbow Ridge and Fresh, Hot Popcorn!
The Rainbow Ridge Ice Cream Parlor serves hard ice cream which is hand dipped daily for residents and staff. Other choices include warm pretzels and funnel cakes.
Hot buttered, "movie" popcorn is made daily in the cafeteria and is also available to both staff and residents alike. The cafeteria is always open for residents and family members to gather, dine and have a good time.
* Resident Care Plan
tay as involved as you want. A comprehensive plan of care is developed by our team of professionals under the guidance of the attending physician. A thorough assessment of each resident's needs guides the staff in designing and implementing an individualized care plan. Family members are invited and encouraged to attend care plan meetings.
Quality of Life
We believe these sessions contribute to the quality of our residents’ lives by improving mood and increasing opportunities for positive social interaction. It is also rewarding for the employee facilitators who see a “spark of life†in our less cognizant residents.
We have a large, active group of volunteers who donate their time to assist residents with shopping, activities, crafts, mending, letter writing and other needs, as well as providing caring companionship. New volunteers are always welcome at Elcor!
