We are writing to express our sincere thanks, following Nan's passing. We loved her so much. After her stay in hospital we were anxious about her going into care, but from the beginning we were assured by the kindness, professionalism & warmth shown by all staff at all levels. Celebrating Nan's 100th
birthday with a cake the home had made meant so meant to create a special memory. The staff were exceptional. The home was always spotless thanks to the hardworking domestics. The nurses and care workers provided nan with consistent high standards of care. Nan was treated with dignity, respect and genuine affection, as though she was a member of their own family. In nan's final days, the attentive checks, clean communication and compassionate support helped us through an incredibly difficult time. You balanced professionalism with heartfelt care, keeping us informed while ensuring nan was comfortable and peaceful. Thank you for the safe, caring and well led home you provide we will be forever grateful to you all for looking after our nan!

From the very first day to the last my wife was looked after in the best possible way. All staff acted in the best possible way. Her changing moods and needs were carefully explained to me and then acted on. Her medical needs were carefully dealt with as they changed. I was kept up with her progress
at all stages and could talk with all the staff to find out how she was. When the end came all staff rallied round and all my wishes were carried out with dignity. My thank go out to all of them.

My mother has been a resident at The Elms Care Home in Louth for some 4-and-a-half years now, and what a handful I know she can be. My mother suffers from vascular dementia, in which I can honestly say is heart renching to see over time. All the staff have shown nothing but empathy, care, and even the
show of love towards her. All staff have made my visits extremely comforting and allowed myself to get closer and closer in her time there. Big love to all staff. Thank you xxx

I feel very confident that Dad is receiving the best possible care. I do not worry about his needs being met. The staff are approachable and friendly and available. I feel very comfortable visiting the home and welcomed to be there. I am pleased with the relationships the staff have formed with Dad,
it feels like leaving him with family. Any concerns we have about Dad's condition are dealt with immediately. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Elms to others.

Our uncle came to The Elms Care Home with a terminal diagnosis. We were stressed and worried as he had been in a nearby residential home, where the care was far from ideal.
The Elms was a breath of fresh air.
Two staff members in particular were so caring and experienced. They transformed the experience
not just our uncle, but of us too.
We are so grateful. We know our uncle was comfortable and loved until he died in November.
Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at The Elms Care HomeThank you so much for sharing your heartfelt feedback. We are truly sorry for your loss but deeply honoured to have been able to provide comfort and care to your uncle during such a difficult time. Your kind words mean so much to our team, especially to the staff members you mentioned, who will be touched to hear how much their support meant to you and your family. We're grateful to have been a part of your uncle's journey and are here for you if you need anything.

I cannot be happier with the care and attention my mother is receiving at The Elms. Every single member of staff is just wonderful and can't do enough. She has a beautiful room which is kept exceptionally clean, and the food is excellent - no complaints from her on the food! She hasn't really been able
to participate in activities due to mobility issues, but perhaps with a bit of peruasion (she's very set in her ways!). A huge thank you to everyone at The Elms.
Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at The Elms Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words and wonderful feedback about The Elms Care Home. We're delighted to hear that your mother is happy and comfortable here, and it's lovely to know she's enjoying the food! Our team takes great pride in making sure each resident receives the best care possible, and we're so glad that's been your experience. We understand how challenging mobility issues can be, but we'll do our best to gently encourage her to try some activities that suit her preferences-there's always something for everyone, and we'd love for her to feel even more involved. Thank you again for your lovely comments, and please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.

The care my husband receives continues to be excellent. He participates in all the activities/entertainment offered and enjoys a really good rapport with all the staff. Everyone I have contact with at The Elms is friendly, supportive and caring. The staff are genuinely fond of the residents and handle
any challenging situations arising due to dementia, efficiently, compassionately, with good humour and seemingly endless patience.
Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at The Elms Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words.

A wonderful team gave my dad the best care we could have wished for in his short stay at The Elms. He was very well cared for by a great team and cannot fault anything with this outstanding setting.
He was treated with dignity and respect and he passed away peacefully in a setting which he would have
been happy with.
Thank you so much to each and every one of you who impacted so much in his final days.

Attentive and caring staff who work over and above to provide exemplary care to residents. They have also been extremely supportive to me, as a family members, when I have struggled with Mum's deterioration and and condition.

My father came to The Elms on 25th November, and I couldn’t be happier. He has settled in so well and is being beautifully looked after. I can’t rate the staff highly enough, they always have time for you and are so professional and friendly. The management is excellent, and all the staff seem so happy.
The food is very good, and the home is spotlessly clean at all times. My dad's mobility has improved so much as he is encouraged to move around, as previously, he spent a lot of time sleeping during the day. Every time I visit, he is well-dressed, clean and shaved. I have no complaints whatsoever, and I am certainly glad I made the move to The Elms.

Dad went into The Elms in February this year following a hospital stay and has received nothing but the best care in there. The staff have been incredible with him, trying to include him in activities and to socialise with other residents. Even more so when his wife passed away soon after, also in The
Elms for a short time. As his dementia is gradually worsening, he can be quite stubborn/aggressive but the carers are still patient with him and keep to find his smile!

My mum has recently moved into The Elms and loves the care that the staff give her she had gone downhill in her previous care home and we weren’t happy so decided to move her here and she is now much happier and looking a lot healthier than she has done for a while. The staff are doing an amazing job
and we are very grateful to them all, although she likes to walk the corridors the staff always seem to know where she is which is reassuring.
