My mother has been a resident at Elmwood for nearly 6 years. She very much feels at home there and feels safe and secure. She enjoys good food and is able to do as she wishes. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and the staff look after her in a very caring way.

Thanks very much for your review! We are glad your mum is enjoying her time with us.
Mum was here from October to February 14th, when she died. It is a smallish home with a very big heart! Mum really didn't want to leave her beautiful flat, but the welcome and care she enjoyed were superb. ALL the staff are wonderful, kind and with a sense of humour - Mum so loved them and there...
Mum was here from October to February 14th, when she died. It is a smallish home with a very big heart! Mum really didn't want to leave her beautiful flat, but the welcome and care she enjoyed were superb. ALL the staff are wonderful, kind and with a sense of humour - Mum so loved them and there was wonderful warm mutual respect. (Mum might have been frail, but there were no flies on her!!). They are a LEGENDS and I know one lady was a huge support to Mum too. I couldn't have wished my mum to have ended her days anywhere else. XXX
