Elm Lea Residential Care Home

Elm Lea, was an absolutely fantastic care home, very well run by very caring, compassionate & professional staff, the registered manager & all the staff all went above and beyond, knowing that my family member was very well looked after by all the staff was absolute blessing. The level of understanding a care they all provided was absolutely exceptional. Caring for my great aunt from the start of her stay all the way to the very end. The registered manager of this home always kept in such a professional manner and always kept all of our family informed with our relatives day to day care. Overall I'm so proud, thankful & most importantly grateful for everything Elm Lea gave to my great aunt and could not recommend anymore!

My father truly feels at home and well cared for, and the engaging daily activities have been wonderful in keeping him active and uplifted.

Elm Lea strikes the perfect balance between being professional and creating a safe, nurturing environment. We're so grateful.

Such a lovely home couldn't ask for better for my aunt. All the staff are dedicated and generally care, it's not just their job, very much like a family unit. The manager is amazing, totally dedicated caring and a brilliant manager. Such a great choice.

My dad has mild dementia and has been at Elm Lea for about a year as he was unable to cope on his own. Elm Lea has become his new home and although he wasn't keen to move he has settled in well there. It's not a large home and more like a big family. The staff are amazing, always happy and upbeat. They know how to get the best out of him, gently encouraging him with lots of good humour and banter. It's such a relief to know he is well cared for and safe now. Dad has a nice, well equipped room, but also likes sitting in the sunny conservatory which over looks the garden.The staff are also great with me. Always a warm welcome, regular contact and up to date with what dad is doing. Thanks to Elm Lea for the great care they are taking of my dad.

My father is a resident, after another care home, my dad seems very happy here and at the care home. He is cared for and is happy, I am happy we found him, Elm Lea, as we were worried about him in the other care home. Very friendly staff and always welcoming, could not recommend them enough!

Elmlea is always clean and tidy and doesn't have that care home smell, that can sometimes be unpleasant. I would recommend this care home to anyone who wants the personal touch.

Since my mother has been a resident at Elm Lea, she has been shown respect and understanding, with encouragement she has come out of her shell and is able to socialise with other residents and staff. The staff are reintroducing crafts to her which she hasn’t done for many years. They listen to mum’s interests and accommodate where able. When I visit, I am greeted with a warm welcome, the staff tell me what mum has been doing and how she is, it is very reassuring that they actually know who mum is and they know who I am and who my other visitors are. In my experience, I believe Elm Lea is well-led and provides person-centred care.

Dad has been in the home for nearly two months. This has been a really difficult transition however the Manager and the team have been very accommodating and tried to make this as easy as possible. Thank you for your support.

Excellent in every respect - cannot be faulted. Elm Lea is a wonderful care home - small, personal and cosy. The home is well-managed and run by competent, caring and compassionate staff who provide the level and standard of care that I would want for myself. I am able to relax knowing that my mother is in good hands and is well cared for.

Excellent in every respect.

My brother has thrived since our mother passed away. We have a 45-minute drive to see my brother. Well worth the drive to see him happy.
