My mother settled quickly into the home and still feels settled two years on. The staff are friendly, welcoming and are upbeat when I visit, and I know mum says she is well looked after.


They have activities each week and she is taken to church every Sunday, where she has been a member for many

many years. She enjoys it when there are enough staff to take her out for a walk.


Mum likes her room and is appreciative that it has be decorated with her own personal possessions to make it feel more like home.

My brother was admitted to Elmside Residential Home from hospital in Hamstead London. He fell in his bedroom and was taken to hospital where he died, having broken his leg, together with other complications. Sadly he only had a very short time at Elmside from admission to death but the family could
clearly see Elmside was excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I viewed six homes in the area for a wonderful lady with dementia who was my neighbour. The two ladies are truly exceptional managers, complemented by the office and grounds staff. The homes I saw with the exception of Elmside struggled to achieve a welcoming, kind atmosphere. They had less light, their
gardens were not beautiful, they didn't always smell fresh and the staff felt as if they were struggling, dispirited or were watching the clock for the end of shift. Staff at Elmside are mostly young, clearly carefully chosen, caring. I would wish for Elmside's care if things change.
Reply from Grainne Wokes, Home Manager at ElmsideThank you for your kind review and positive reflection on our service. I am very pleased that you are happy with your experience of Elmside. If there is anything that you would like to discuss or feel you can feedback to us then please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of my team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Elmside at the beginning of September 2024. Right from the start we were made to feel incredibly welcome and the transition could not have been smoother. I visited a handful of other homes before deciding on Elmside and none of them had the same homely and settled feel about them. Mum
has needed a fair amount of care since moving in, including visits to hospital, but no matter what she needs, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They are always, without fail, very attentive, caring and super helpful. Every time I visit, the home has a family atmosphere about it and it is clear that all the residents are treated as though they are one big family. I love the fact that there are activities to be involved in every week day, morning and afternoon, plus church on Sunday and the fact that everyone is brought together for meal times three times a day. I couldn't be happier with our choice and I know mum will continue to be very happy there.
Reply from Vilawan Hawkes, Home Manager at ElmsideThank you for taking the time to leave a such a lovely review about our care home, we are pleased that your Mum is settled and engaged in the activities in and out of the home. We are so grateful for your support and regular visits from you and your Mum's furry friend, which helped her settled and once again thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I shall pass your lovely comments to the team.

Mum has been a resident for 4 years and I am pleased to say that she is very happy here and has made many friends over this period of time, not just other with other residents but with the staff as well. From my point of view I am delighted that she has referred to Elmside as 'home' since shortly having
moved there. The whole atmosphere is pleasant and there is almost always something going on to keep the residents entertained. While I always keep in contact with mum the staff also keep me informed of any issues whether it be directly related to mum or indirectly such as with the recent refurbishment taking place. There is a very strong work ethic at the home and I do not think I could have picked a better place.
Reply from Vilawan Hawkes, Home Manager at ElmsideThank you for taking the time to complete a review. We are so pleased that your mother feels this way. We are so very fond of her, she is so kind and caring and looks out for others and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your generosity especially at Christmas. Our staff team loved the goodies. Once again thank you for taking the time and leaving us a lovely review.

I can only praise and thank the staff at Elmside for their care and patience in looking after Mum. Even on her dark days she is treated with care and respect by all including the cleaning staff. I'm always greeted with happy smiling faces. Mum is a "loner" but is always encouraged to join in whatever
activity is taking place.

Mum moved here 9 months ago, and has settled in well. I find the carers to be very kind, caring and compassionate. The staff are responsive to concerns. Activities are imaginative and engaging, and meals seem good. At 96, mum is even making new friends amongst the residents. There is a strong ethos
which seems to motivate the staff and inform their attitude. I really feel mum is in such good hands. Thank you.

I do not live in Hitchin so when I visit family I pop in to see my mum. I am so happy that she was moved and is now more settled in her room and also seems to be a little calmer and feeling a bit more at home at Elmside. My sister has now a bit more time as she was and still is her primary care giver.
Thank you for giving her some time and space.

My father has been a resident in Cedars unit, Elmside for 3 years now. As a family we are extremely happy with the level of care and support he receives from all the staff at Cedars, he is treated with both dignity and respect. This is inclusive not just of the carers but also of catering, laundry,
domestic, maintenance, chaplaincy and activities staff (esp music therapy, my father loves to sing)
Communication with me from management and senior care staff is excellent, which I am particularly grateful for. We are very pleased as a family we chose Elmside for dad, the management and all staff work extremely hard to ensure it is a home with care and respect for the residents as its core values.

Dad's care at Elmside has been exceptional. He was treated, at all times, with respect and all the team seemed very committed and caring. Dad was always involved with his planning and decisions. His room was beautiful with lovely views and it seemed a happy place. The manager and her team made sure
that Dad was as independent as possible and supported him to go out independently. Communication worked well between us, Dad and the team there. Dad loved his colour-printed family newsletter. He chose not to join in the many activities there but he enjoyed reflexology. Dad died recently after a short illness and we will always be grateful to the manager and Elmside for making Dad's last year as good as it could possibly be. If you are considering care for someone in your family, you need look any further.

My mother has been a resident at Elmside since June 2023, and I am very impressed with how she has been treated. We first visited the care home six months before she moved in, and the manager showed us around for that visit and remembered Mum when she assessed her for needs on entering the home. Mum
has stage four ovarian cancer with complications such that she was placed in the Cedars wing. Mum wanted to go in but was then reluctant to stay. We had been warned that this was not unusual and were very impressed with how the staff and the other residents went out of their way to make her feel welcome at a very difficult stage of her life. The quality of care, and the flexibility to adjust that care on a day-by-day, and at times minute-by-minute, basis to fit in with Mum's needs has been excellent. The location of the home near to the town gives it a feeling of being part of the community rather than an isolated place in the countryside.
I strongly recommend Elmside.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Elmside is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.850 for Elmside is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.85
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elmside is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
