Over all time Elm Lodge Care Home has 60 reviews.
I would like to thank the staff for the wonderful care given to my mother during her time in the home. On each of my visits, I saw hard-working and caring people doing their best to ensure my mum was happy rested, loved and healthy. I truly believe that they made the final year of her life the happiest in the five years since my dad passed away. I would highly recommend this home to any family who needs to place a loved one in care.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will ensure this is passed on to all our staff. It was our pleasure to be able to take care of your mum, she is sadly missed by us all but her words, humour and smile lives on in our memories.
My mother was very happy in the months she spent in Elm Lodge. The manager and all the staff were very good with mum she loved them all, it was a relief to me she was being so well looked after as I live so far away from Chesterfield. When mum passed away we went to see all the staff and the manager, they were all so respectful and consoling and they were all telling us of the love and support they gave her which we knew was genuine as mum said she loved every one of them. I couldn't have wished for mum final months to be so loved.
Thank you so much for your kind review, your mum was such a wonderful lady that we all miss very much, her sparkle, wit and sayings will live on in all our memories.
On the whole I feel Elm Lodge is one of the better care homes, the majority of the staff are very pleasant, helpful and polite, the food is good, the residents are seen regularly by medical staff and reviewed and the management are helpful.
Thank you very much for your kind review, I will ensure that your review is shared with our staff.
Firstly I will not criticise the staff. They are probably underpaid and appear to be understaffed and for those I have encountered, care about their residents. For the amount of money being paid for my mother to stay in this facility I find the place to be very uninviting. The decor is basic. The bedrooms are basic. I appreciate for health and safety reasons carpets, rugs etc are not there but I’m sure there are more things that can be done to make the place feel more homely. I am not aware of any activities and on the times I’ve visited and all residents just seem to be sitting in their chairs in the communal room with just a TV and again the communal rooms are very uninspiring. I also think the garden could be made more user-friendly and ensure the residents living upstairs have access in summer.
Thank you for your review - I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the comments left if I may.
Staff pay - I am sure we could all agree that no matter how much healthcare staff are paid it is never enough for the wonderful job they do. In relation to staffing levels - we always have...
My father went into Elm Lodge after much family discussion, on arrival he was impressed that the staff were so kind and helpful, all his requests were met with a smile, and he settled immediately. At all times staff and managers were hardworking but always approachable, everyone always went above and beyond. Although he was only there for a couple of months as he sadly passed away. We could not have asked for a better place for him and his happiness and was always a priority to us and them. At Elm Lodge, this was met.
Thank you for your review, it was a pleasure to get to know your dad and he will be sadly missed by us all.
Best thing ever, he is a lot happier and more back to the man we knew.
Staff are more than happy to help with anything needed.
All very pleasant.
I will pass your feed back on to the staff.
Absolutely wonderful! My dad has been brilliantly looked after since starting here in June! All staff are caring and down to earth and they give their all when caring for my dad.
Thank you so much for your kind review, I will ensure this is passed on to all our staff.
Really pleased with every aspect of care. Good communication with management. Excellent staff. Dad is very happy here.
Thank you very much for your review, it's much appreciated.
Elm Lodge Care Home is a lovely, calm place. I'm really happy with my mum's care. She is very well looked after. All the staff are lovely and compassionate. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
Thank you very much for your kind review; I will pass this on to all our staff.
My sister-in-law went for respite in Elm Lodge Care Home about six years ago but I wasn't very impressed but she needed a place to stay while her bungalow was being adapted so I thought try Elm Lodge Care Home once more but this time, it is so different. In fact, she is so happy, I think she will opt to stay. The decor is lovely, food is so good and think people should know just how nice it is. A big thank you for making the residents so happy.
Thank you for your review. I will pass this on to our staff.
Thank you to all the staff at Elm Lodge. You've all shown so much care and understanding to Mum and to her family. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming. Although Mum struggles sometimes to settle, she says people are really kind to her and she's not unhappy. For Mum to say that is huge, as realistically of course she'd rather be fit healthy and at home. Very many thanks for all your hard work. As a family, we so appreciate it.
Thank you very much for your kind words, I will ensure this is passed on to all our staff.
My mum is well cared for. The staff are kind and understand her needs. I live far away, so I am not able to visit in person often. I do, however, communicate with her via video call, which the staff are always willing to facilitate.
What a wonderful place Elm Lodge is. During a very difficult time, the staff were sympathetic and understanding of both of my parents' needs. The environment is calm and comforting, with a fantastic, friendly feeling. For anyone concerned about their parents' wellbeing, I would without hesitation recommend Elm Lodge Care Home.
Thank you very much for the lovely review, I will ensure your review is shared with all our staff. It was a pleasure to get to know your mum and wider family.
I am always welcomed and they answer all my questions. My mother has been looked after very well. She loved the care home and it's staff. Staff always inform me if she has a fall. I am welcome to come anytime to see her. They inform me about if a doctor has been and explain well if anything changes in her care. The staff go above and beyond to ensure she is happy and cared for. I think this care home would be hard to beat, with the friendly staff and the way they care about their residents.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I will pass on your compliments to all staff, who will truly appreciate your kind words.
Made very welcome when I arrived. Well looked after. Food good.
Very good team. Excellent lodge, very pleased.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for us.
I can't thank the staff enough for what they've done and accomplished with my mum. She came in a shy, confused lady and is leaving with a new lease of life. From day one, they've been attentive and helpful to my Mum's and our needs.
Excellent staff care and everyone seems happy and content.
Find all the staff very pleasant, and helpful, good sense of humour, kind to the residents. Always has a nice atmosphere, happy for my mother to be staying there and would recommend it to anybody.
The staff do a good job and look after people. Mum is happy and safe here.

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:)
