The staff were wonderful, caring and nothing was too much trouble
The food looked amazing.
Even though the home needs upgrading the care from the staff were 2nd to none.
Everywhere was very clean and the home did not smell of urine.
All the staff appeared to be happy and it was well run by the deputy manager who always gave a good greeting. (And hugs)
Staff very friendly and caring. Home clean and tidy. "No smells". Bedroom clean, tidy and cosy.
Staff are caring and friendly. The needs of residents are well met and family members feel welcome and able to discuss any issues that arise. Events and activities provided by relevant staff are varied and appreciated. Extra staffing and support for activities would be beneficial. Changes to decor, routines and facilities indicate a clear desire to improve the environment for residents. Staff provide a good support for family members through their positivity and welcome.
Thank you for your kind words, and I am really happy that you satisfied with your parents care, and the kindness the care team show and exhibit. We will take on board your comments regarding the additional activity support. The new manager has made some positive changes to the environment and...
I think Moe is a great man and very caring to all in the home. Elm Lodge staff are also very good and attention to care is good. All in all satisfaction.
Thank you for your kind feedback and positive comments about the home. It is really encouraging to hear that you are satisfied with the care, support, and overall environment at Elm Lodge.
Our team works hard to ensure all residents are treated with dignity and receive the highest standard of...
The staff at this home are friendly and welcoming. No smell of urine or cabbage! Lara and team liaise with us. Our relative has blossomed in their care. She is antisocial, and they respect her wishes not to participate in activities/dining area. The rooms are bright and cheerful, food is lovely. I asked for the room to be changed around, and it was done the next morning. My mum is happy here now after a settling and adjustment period.
Thank you for your kind words regarding the care your relative receives at Elm Lodge, I am thrilled that she has settled and is happy in the with the team and the care provided.
Everything was thoroughly explained to me so was easy to understand.
From first contacting the care home, the manager who had recently been in post was excellent. She reassured us and was very supportive, as she knew we were worried, as we were going away for Easter. I would give the manager 10/10 for the support she gave. My mother-in-law was very well cared for and enjoyed participating in the activities. We were telephoned on our first day away and reassured that my mother-in-law was okay. This meant so much to us as we were going to contact that same evening. The manager was knowledgeable regarding Dementia/Alzheimer's, again, this helped. Thank you to all who cared for my mother-in-law and allowed us to get away.
Thank you for your kind review, I will ensure this is shared with the team.
The manager has gone above and beyond reassuring our family about my Nan's care since she arrived. She even emailed out of hours to put us at ease. The staff answer any questions we have and we are welcomed as visitors.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I will share this with our team.
Very good care from all the staff. Kind and respectful towards the residents. Clean and tidy in most areas. Good wholesome food. Washing is done by family but some items have gone to the laundry. Helpful senior staff when asked about mum.
Thank you very much for your kind review, I will ensure your compliments are shared with our team.
Mum has been at Elm lodge for around two months now, and is very happy. The home seems very well run. The facilities are good, and it always looks clean. Most importantly, the staff are brilliant, and they always seem attentive, friendly and helpful. It is really reassuring, to know that mum is being well cared for. Very satisfied.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It's our pleasure to support your mum and see her happy with new-found friendships.
Dad was so happy from day one, all the staff are friendly and helpful could not ask for more.
It was an absolute pleasure looking after your dad. Thank you for sharing your kind words, I will share them with the team.
I have been here for 3 weeks they are wonderful. The staff are good to talk to and most very friendly and good at things they have to do. I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you very much for your kind review, we are so happy you have enjoyed your stay.
My wife has now been at Elm Lodge for six months. The care she has received is beyond expectations. When admitted she was often violent and uncooperative but with the dedication and patience of the manager, supported by her equally dedicated staff and doctor, she has become calmer and cooperative with requests. She is still confused but my family and I can relax knowing that she is safe and being cared for properly.
Thank you so much for your very kind review, our doors are always open to you should you need us and we will continue to build on the support we offer not just to our residents but their families also I will ensure your kind words are shared with all the team.
Our mother was discharged from the hospital and moved into Elm Lodge care facility in March 2022. The manager of Elm Lodge at that time was excellent; they worked with us to help our mother settle in with a non-judgmental and approachable attitude. Overall, we have been very happy with the care our mother has received from the day-to-day staff at Elm Lodge. We understand that working in such an environment, especially in dementia care, is not easy, but we feel that our mother has been well taken care of, and we are grateful to the care staff for that. Thank you.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, this will be shared with all staff and it was a pleasure to care for your mum.
Mum has had a lovely stay in respite. Staff and management are friendly and approachable, just like a big family unit. She enjoyed the activities groups and having a good natter with the service users. Going back one day a week, daycare, to keep in touch with friends she has made.
Thank you very much for your kind review; I will share your feedback with all our team.
I am very happy with the care my dad has received since moving into Elm Lodge care home. He has been well looked after by all these staff so much so he has put on weight and settled in really well.
The hairdresser could be better. My Dads hair has been hacked at and I’ve heard some residents say they don’t like having theirs done. I’ve raised the issue of name badges for staff before as I do think this is important but I appreciate for safety/infection control etc they are not deemed appropriate. As an alternative, I think it would be nice to have a staff photo board displayed so that residents and visitors could see who’s who. I would like to thank you for the care my Dad receives. I know how challenging the demands of dementia care can be so thank you for all that you do.
To see him now is unbelievable, I would never have believed him to be healthwise where he is now.
He will take part in everything. I can also see an improvement within Elm Lodge over the time dad has been there. The activities have increased and outings for the residents too. Thank you to all for the care, and love you all give to my dad and all the other residents too.
Thank you so much for your review. we just love seeing your dad now and thinking back to how he was when he arrived. he truly is `the captain` I will ensure your kind words are shared with all our staff
My Father received the very best of care at Elm Lodge and was treated with such respect and dignity during his stay. All the staff made a special bond with him and made his stay here a memorable one for me too knowing he was loved. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their hard work and appreciate everything they did for Dad!
Thank you so much for a lovely review. I will make sure this is shared with all the staff. It was such a pleasure caring for your dad.
My mother seems very content and happy, looks well cared for. Happy to participate in most of the activities provided by the care home, apparently especially the dancing when they have live entertainment’ considering she is coming up for 102 in July.
Thank you so much for your kind review, its an absolute pleasure spending time with your mum. I will ensure your compliments are shared with all staff.

Meet Our New Home Manager at Elm Lodge
Hello everyone! My name is Shoaib Mohammed, but please call me Mo. I’m very happy to be joining Elm Lodge as the new Home Manager.
I’ve worked in residential and dementia care for over 7 years, and caring for the elderly is truly close to my heart. My passion for care began when I helped look after my grandmother, who lived to the wonderful age of 109. That experience shaped my values and inspired me to build my career in elderly care.
My goal at Elm Lodge is to make sure every resident feels safe, respected, listened to, and at home. I’m really looking forward to getting to know our residents, families, staff, and the wider community.‘I believe residents are no longer written off, no longer a Strain on Services, no longer just a woman with Dementia but a mother who was many great things to many people’
I strongly believe that the best care comes from working together. I look forward to getting to know our residents, building trusting relationships with families, supporting our wonderful staff, and being an active part of the local community.
Please feel free to stop me for a chat when your @Elm Lodge, share your thoughts, or simply say hello—I am always happy to listen:)
