A lovely , small care home where dad is very happy and settled. His daily trips out to the shop and to the duck pond are lovely to see. The monthly newsletter is so detailed and is one of the reasons why we chose this care home for him.

Elmfield's premises are quite small and it certainly wouldn't be described as a luxury establishment. However, the smaller premises provide a much more intimate feel - more like a home than a hotel - and the care provided was really first-class. We saw that staff developed close relationships with residents and that this was possible because there didn't seem to be a constant turnover of agency staff that was evident elsewhere.
When we visited, my aunt always appeared well-turned out and cared for. For her part, she seemed happy, content, personally cared for and safe - everything we were looking for. The general ethos of Elmfield stems from the leadership and influence of the manager; residents and relations alike have much to be grateful to her for.
Thank you, Francis, for your glowing endorsement of Elmfield House. We pride ourselves on the intimate feel that is fostered from being a small care home compared to the other larger care groups. Providing first-class care is an integral part of what makes us special and thank you for acknowledging...
A very clean well well-run establishment staff and manager do everything and more to care for all residents. The food is varied and of excellent quality. The menu changes daily to facilitate all dietary requirements and residents' needs. When enquiring the manager was more than helpful, and supplied me with all the information I required, all answers were truthful and I was more than impressed.
Thank you for your glowing endorsement of Elmfield House. We are delighted to read that you view the home as very clean and well-run by the staff and management. We pride ourselves on our varied menu and for sourcing good quality produce for our residents. Good nutrition is important for strong...

Mum has been here since December and has settled well.
