It was our aunt's 100th Birthday today and the staff at New Elmcroft went above and beyond with making the day special for her. Due to covid restrictions, celebrations were limited, however, Elmcroft staff still organised a fantastic celebration for her. An entertainer in the garden, cake, singing...
We would like to thank the manager one member of staff, in particular, as they were fantastic at communicating with us prior to the day and accommodated everything we asked. It was lovely also as the chairman of Shaw Trust Skyped our aunt as due to covid restrictions he couldn’t personally visit.
On a day to day basis, the manager and the team have been great and are always so caring and professional. Thank you for making the day special for her during these strange times.

My sister-in-law was transferred to Elmcroft from a stroke unit. The stroke had left her with the loss of some memory and unable to find correct words. Communication with her was not easy. Although 86 she had been extremely independent and resented any reliance on others. This meant that she could be rather difficult on occasions. The staff were always kind to her and very supportive. I think she was most fortunate to be transferred to New Elmcroft for her initial rehabilitation. Our thanks to you all.
Even though hard to see Mum every opportunity has been made to inform me and my family of every situation.

During such a hard time with COVID-19, the staff put on an amazing celebration for my Grandmothers 107th birthday. There was a link to the party via face time and they shared the pictures with us straight away. It's such a hard time not to be able to visit and we have had to rely on these amazing staff to provide even more of the time, love and care they give to everyone. Thank You.
Walking into New Elmcroft, almost feels like walking into Mum's own home, as it is so welcoming and feels good. Mum is being looked after very well and wonderful staff help her to Skype the family, which is wonderful throughout this coronavirus crisis. She always looks well and is neatly dressed.

My mum has severe dementia and has lived at Elmcroft since 2017. As my brother and I got to know the staff, we began to appreciate how much they care and go the extra mile for the residents. I'm very glad mum ended up at this care home and can't fault the staff at all. Our mum is extremely happy...

My aunt was a resident; on the 10th February she celebrated her 100th birthday in the home, the home was so welcoming, staff went above and beyond to make her day special; sadly she has since passed away but the memory of day was made so very special for all who attended.

I visited my friend recently and I had a nice welcome from all staff very impressed with the place. The manager spent time to take me around. My friend mentioned how he is engaged in activities, socialising with other residents and outings. My very good friend said he is well looked after and enjoys the varieties of meals. I highly recommend the home to anybody wishing a safe place to be looked after.

Best care home in town, I visited my friend who now lives permanently in New Elmcroft care home.

I highly recommend this home for respite or for a long stay, you will never be disappointed, the environment and staff are so welcoming. Thank you so much for all your help to the community.

The home seems to keep the usual excellent record. We do stay a long time when we visit and can see how it is run efficiently with no rushing and the staff always give a lovely welcome and always say hello. I have no worries about my husband being in New Elmcroft. As I always say, it comes from the manager and the staff who need a huge appraisal for all their hard work.
The management, resident carers and nurses are all kind to me and nothing is too much trouble for them, should I need help. I would highly recommend New Elmcroft and enjoy my short stays there.

We found all the staff to be caring and professional at all times and couldn't ask for a better placement for my mother's end of life care. And for us as visitors, we were always made to feel welcome.

Second to none service throughout. All of the staff have a very positive attitude and only have the best interests of the residents at heart. Will constantly go above and beyond. I know my father is in the very best of hands. Would thoroughly recommend.

Hello and welcome to Elmcroft! My name is Estelle and I am the deputy manager here. I started working in healthcare whilst completing my Psychology master’s degree at Sussex University back in 1995. At that time I was a support worker in a residential dementia unit. My passion for assisting people living with dementia grew from there. Over time I progressed to team Leader, and then resource manager within Brighton and Hove Council. In 2008, before Elmcroft was even opened, I successfully interviewed for a team leader role. I was one of the very first recruits and I have worked in Elmcroft since day one and what a brilliant journey it has been! I worked as a team leader until 2015 when I became the deputy manager.
I derive such joy from making each day special for the people under my care. I love that each day is different and brings new exciting opportunities. The prospect of meeting new people, and getting to know them makes every day special. I have enjoyed supporting staff growth and development. I am passionate about training and feel privileged as I am the named dementia trainer in Elmcroft. My background in psychology enables me to support families faced with the difficult decision of leaving their loved ones in a care home. It is also beneficial to staff in my capacity as a mental health first aider in Elmcroft.

I joined Elmcroft in 2002 as a support worker. I moved to New Elmcroft once the new build was completed, 16 years ago this year. In 2010 I became one of the service administrators.
My job is very varied dealing with many aspects regarding staff, residents and relatives as well as outside professionals.
I am always happy to help with anything that I can, taking part in many events over the years, all hopefully to help maintain a happy and healthy environment, especially for our residents.
