August 2025 - Overall Experience 5/5

We looked around several residential care homes when the time came that mum needed more help and as soon as we stepped foot inside The Elms we knew we had found the right place. All the staff are friendly, approachable and have taken the time to get to know us as a family, we are always made to feel welcome when we visit. The Elms is always spotlessly clean, very well cared for and the gardens are a delight with views over open countryside, a very peaceful setting. In my mum’s own words “They can’t do enough for me, they look after me. What more can I ask for, I am very lucky and the food is very good”. We highly recommend The Elms for anyone who is looking for outstanding care for their loved one.

June 2025 - Overall Experience 5/5
My father moved to The Elms in January ’23. The team at The Elms helped him to settle into his new surroundings while also helping to reassure us that we had made the right decision for him. Once dad got to know the team and they in turn understood him, dad came to feel that The Elms was his home. There was always a range of activities to participate in and the choice of food was good. We found that dad was always happy to see us and when we brought him out for a day with the family, or a meal out, he was happy to ‘go home’ and back to his usual base. In dad’s final weeks, the team at The Elms not only preserved dad’s comfort, cleanliness and usual high standards, including daily shaves, but did so with kindness and respect. They also always made sure that we, as family, were looked after too. Thank you for all your compassion and showing us that we had made the right choice back in 2023.

My mum’s been at the residential home since December. From day one Mum has settled in very well. She enjoys the huge range of daily activities on offer, the food always looks lovely and full of variety and always homemade. Mum enjoys her cake and coffee in the afternoons a real treat. The home is impeccably clean, the staff are always friendly and nothing is ever too much for them, even at busy times. The social media updates are an excellent way of keeping not only myself updated but the whole family, seeing varies photographs of what mum has been up too. Always kept informed of any issues if any including medical. All round excellent service

My mother is a resident of The Elms. She has dementia and a number of medical conditions, which make caring for her demanding, and sometimes frustrating. The staff at The Elms are outstanding in caring for her, their approach to caring for dementia residents has settled my mother down, she is less frustrated and I feel that they really know her, her needs and her personality. The home is clean, the staff really engage with the residents. I know this takes a lot of work and care. She genuinely seems happy here. There is a huge range of activities for the residents, the food looks great and I really appreciate the social media updates. The staff never appear stressed or overburdened, and clearly genuinely care for the residents. We are kept informed of any updates, are free to visit any time and are always made to feel welcome. This is how a care home should be.
January 2025 - Overall Experience 5/5
The Elms is a beautifully run residential care home that looked after my dear mum in the closing years of what was a very busy and active life. The staff are delightful courteous and helpful and go the extra mile to assist. It’s a beautiful setting affording far-reaching country views from many of the rooms, a big sun terrace, and masses of recreational space for the residents to mingle. The ambience is good and the place is always spotless and a home from home for all its residents. I never worry about Mum being there because I know she is well cared for and happy. The staff are a great crowd who work well together and I never feel anyone is unapproachable. There is a lovely garden for everyone to enjoy in the better weather filled with a variety of shrubs, and bedding plants, tables and chairs are provided so in the better weather everyone who is able can fully enjoy the facilities.
November 2024 - Overall Experience 5/5
My mum moved into The Elms at a very emotional time for our family. All the staff have just been the best support for mum and their care and love for mum cannot be faulted. The room is clean and homely and the rest of the public rooms are so welcoming. Mum is thriving on the food and the exercises and activities which happen every day look stimulating and fun. Mum loves the singing and animal visits best. We can visit at any time and nothing is too much trouble. Mum always looks clean and well cared for. I would highly recommend The Elms.
