ELIM PARK WAS FOUNDED IN 1906 BY THE SWEDISH BAPTIST CONFERENCE WITH THE MISSION TO CARE (SEE SCH. O) FOR AND PROVIDE A HOME OF REST FOR THE FRAIL AND ELDERLY MEMBERS OF THEIR CONFERENCE. SINCE OUR INCORPORATION, OUR MISSION HAS EXPANDED AND MATURED, AND WE ARE NO LONGER A "HOME OF REST," BUT RATHER A HOME WHERE RESIDENTS CAN FLOURISH AND LIVE ACTIVE, INSPIRED, FULFILLING LIVES. THE INTERDENOMINATIONAL NATURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION WELCOMES OLDER ADULTS OF ALL FAITHS, WITH A CARING STAFF AND CHRIST-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS THEM TO GROW IN SPIRITUAL HEALTH AS WELL AS MEETING THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY CARE THROUGH EXCITING CULTURAL AND FITNESS PROGRAMS AND A BROAD SPECTRUM OF HEALTH SERVICES IN A CHRIST-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT. ELIM PARK LOOKS UPON ITS MISSION AS AN EXTENSION OF THE CHURCH MINISTRY WITHIN THE BAPTIST GENERAL CONFERENCE AND GIVES ADMISSION PRIORITY TO ITS MEMBERS.
