On the whole, I have been very well looked after at Elm View. All the staff from the medical point of view and otherwise, have been very helpful. The entertainment for the residents has been excellent and enjoyable, and I hope they manage to find someone suitable for this position soon. It has been
great to meet the other residents.
Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Elm View Care HomeThank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you have found the entertainment excellent and enjoyable and that you feel well looked after.

Food is lovely. It is minced so he can eat it. Laundry some concerns about no trousers in his room sometimes when he has at least 9 pairs that are all marked. Activities are very good. All staff are friendly.

Mum has settled in very well after moving from another home. A little confused to start with but with help from the staff she seems to be settling in well.
Widerie came to the previous home to carry out an assessment and made Mum feel completely at ease which I saw first hand. The staff seem very friendly
and attentive to Mum's needs.
Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Elm View Care HomeWe're so grateful that you've taken the time to share your thoughts. It is wonderful to hear that your Mum has settled in comfortably with us and hearing that our care has made a difference to you and your family is truly rewarding. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.

My wife had expressly instructed that I needed a short (few yards) walk along the corridor twice a day to keep my leg strength active. This was not done so I arrived home after 3 weeks with no mobility. There didn't appear to be any communication between the staff.
Reply from Natasha Burns-Leigh, Customer Service Advisor at Norewood Lodge Care HomeThank you for the review. It was a pleasure having you stay for a short time. I'm sorry that your mobility has deteriorated since returning home. We take pride in offering a person centred approach for all our residents ensuring all have their choices respected and their wishes met while in our care.

Reception staff, Debbie, is friendly and helpful. We have not had any dealings with anyone from the offices. On the whole all the staff appear very kind and caring, except our relative says the night time carers can forget to take the hearing aids out. And can be a bit rough. It's a shame our relative
never has a very strong cup of tea, their preference, hence they rarely drink it. The activities coordinator is extremely friendly and proactive in encouraging our relative to join in. She always has time to talk to our relative and us.
We are told the food is not always very good, according to our relative. They have trouble eating some of it due to their dexterity. We hope they are offered spoons or help with cutting things up.
The current bedroom is poorly laid out.The floor has always got food and crumbs on it. Numerous glasses usually on table when we visit, not sure which is clean one. Their chair has bare wires coming from remote control used to raise it. Wash room always clean.

Staff always professional and caring. Sometimes the communication wasn't always clear and sometimes difficult to get through to nursing staff.
Activities varied and enjoyable for residents. Warm and comfy room and nice lounge and garden for both residents and visitors. Coffee machine a godsend!

My mother has been in this care home for 18 months now. She has been well looked after. The staff are excellent, very caring and patient. The home is undergoing a refurbishment at the moment so the rooms will decorated. The garden has had a major upgrade and is now a lovely space for the residents to
enjoy when the weather improves.
Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Norewood Lodge Care HomeThank you for your feedback. It is lovely to hear you describe our staff as very caring and patient.

Mum has been a resident at Elm View for just over 12 months.
She really enjoys all the activities and being able to mix with other residents during the mornings and afternoons. From chair exercises to painting and listening to music - the weekday programme is excellent for maintaining physical and
mental well-being.
Breakfast is served in her room and Mum appreciates having her lunch in the company of other residents in the dining room. Supper is served in her room which works well with TV or radio for entertainment.
Laundry is of a high quality as is house keeping in Mum's room and all the communal areas.
The choices of food are good and varied and certainly the Christmas lunch that we were able to join Mum for was excellent.
The staff are caring, knowledgeable and helpful across all the teams, housekeeping, catering, office, maintenance and of course care and nursing.
There are good connections with the local GP practice and pharmacy which provide additional reassurance
Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Elm View Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are happy to hear that you find the activity programme and food provision to be excellent and all our staff to be caring and helpful. We hope to continue providing your Mum with the best possible care.

A lovely care home, superb management.
Chris, as a manager, is excellent. We are sad to see her go.
The only thing that we had problems with was keeping mum's hearing aid working with new batteries; sadly, that problem is no longer an issue.

My dad has a facial cancerous tumour which is growing rapidly, it's very visible & has an awful odour, but the nursing staff & carers have been really wonderful with him from day one - making him feel welcomed & included. We have been particularly impressed with the dressings the nurses have skillfully
managed to apply to his face (not an easy area to dress). As a family, we have also felt supported & know that the door is always open should we have any need to talk.
Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Norewood Lodge Care HomeIt's always encouraging to read reviews like this. We are proud to have such a compassionate team and we're glad this has shone though in your experience. We're committed to making every day as positive and comfortable as possible for your loved one.

My mother spent her last few weeks here in November last year. The staff were very kind and had high standards of care and cleanliness. They were also very welcoming towards my brother and I and we felt comfortable spending time there. We couldn't have asked for better care at such a traumatic time.
Despite the sad circumstances my final memories of my mother in such beautiful surroundings, gradually drifting away from us are very positive.

We were so impressed by the home manager at the residents/relatives meeting. She explained things well, making sure everyone could hear. She listened and gave people time and then she thought of ways to resolve any issues. We were also happy to hear that when Mum had a little fall, the staff were there
within seconds. Thank you all. Your smiling happy faces make us feel welcome and reassured that Mum is in the best place she could be.

My parents have both recently moved into Elm View. Our family's first impression is that Elm View is really friendly. The Manager and admin staff are all super helpful and have been extremely welcoming to my parents - nothing is too much trouble. The nursing team are professional and knowledgeable and
pay attention to detail. The care staff have all introduced themselves and been very warm and friendly. I have seen many acts of kindness not relating to my parents so the culture of care at Elm View seems of really high quality.
The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the décor is fresh. The communal areas are clean and tidy and all well appointed.
Above all, the home and its grounds is attractive and all the staff are good communicators, which is so important.
My parents seem settled and happy which is lovely. Thanks everyone - and I know if I do have any concerns that the staff are approachable.
Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Elm View Care HomeThank you for your kind words. We hope Elm View care home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved one's stay as comfortable as possible.

As a family we can not speak highly enough of the care that my father received in the last days of his life. He was treated with tenderness & dignity by every single member of staff. That same level of care was extended to the whole family as we visited our father during this time. An uplifting and
reassuring experience in the most distressing of circumstances. Thank you.
