Elvaston Lodge Nursing Home

My Dad had been in Elvaston Lodge for over 5 years, the staff at the home were always very friendly and looked after my Dad very well. He loved the food and his lovely dual-aspect room which was always clean.

Very good all round. No complaints at all.

From the moment my mother arrived, I knew that Elvaston Lodge was the ideal placement for her. I love the room she is in, and its bright outlook to a grassy area across the road is great. The staff are caring, respectful and accommodating to both residents and visitors. My mother has told me that she loves the food here, and I have seen the staff arrive promptly if she needs any toileting or other care. This is an efficient, safe and extremely caring place, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. Keep up the great work!

My mum is so happy here, the care I cannot fault.

My aunt has settled very well. The carers are thoughtful and keep me informed of any problems. The home is kept very clean and her bedroom is always nicely presented, the bathroom is always clean. I feel that, maybe, a little more activities would benefit the residents.

Very pleased with the care my father receives. He loves the food and really enjoys his meals. He likes to sit in his own room with his television, and can use the nice communal room for meals or when he wants company. The staff are very friendly and his room is kept clean.

The food is excellent with breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea provided daily. Recently the communal room has undergone a refurbishment which gives the area a very pleasant and homely feeling. Overall I am pleased with the service the home provides for my mother.

Extremely happy with level of care Mum receives. Staff very thoughtful to individual needs. Encouraged to interact although don't feel pressured. Safe and homely environment.

Our aunt has been a resident at Elvaston Lodge since July on the recommendation of a friend whose mother is also here. We have nothing but praise for the management and staff, everyone is professional yet still so friendly and accommodating to residents and visitors alike. The home is very clean and tidy and our aunt, although she does not eat much, always says that she likes the food. The main thing that has made us feel this is that everyone acknowledges all the residents by name and stops for a quick chat however busy they are. The activity coordinator is very good and will try to involve even the most reluctant resident. We would not hesitate to recommend to others as it was recommended to us. Thank you and keep up the good work!

The home is clean, the food is good and all the staff are caring.

My 93-year-old aunt entered Elvaston Lodge some months ago and I have visited on several occasions. The visits have been to see my aunt but also to discuss financial matters with staff. I always find the care home clean, tidy and with a friendly, caring environment. Not only the carer staff themselves but also the administration/management are truly a fantastic group of dedicated people. Caring for the elderly cannot be the easiest of jobs but the staff have this remarkable ability to engage with the residents.

What a fantastic care home. So clean, so friendly, a great 'can do' attitude by everyone. Nothing is too much trouble. Resident is treated with respect and dignity, always. Staff and managers always on hand to help and answer any questions carers/relatives may have. Great place. Thank you.

Mum developed pneumonia in the last few weeks of her life, and Elvaston provided excellent end of life care, ensuring her needs were met whilst maintaining her dignity. All of the staff who looked after mum showed the utmost care and compassion.

The security and cleanliness are very noticeable on entry. The staff are most caring and competent a sign of good management. Rooms are large with en-suite. The food is superb with that home cooked quality. Doctors and nurses make regular visits. Entertainment is also provided. A well-run home due to the excellent staff.

Mum has been in Elvaston Lodge for 14 months now and I have no hesitation to recommend this home. I find everyone from the management to the carers friendly, caring and very polite, looking after Mum excellently.

I can highly recommend Elvaston Lodge. On entering the building it is calm and inviting. The residents' rooms are all decorated to a high standard with each room offering a TV point, wardrobe and dressing table and en-suite washing facilities. All of the staff are kind patient and caring and ensure all of the residents' needs are met. Each floor offers a lounge and the ground floor has access to a garden. The meals look fantastic and all have a home cooked appeal with real gravy and puddings with custard. The staff ensure all aspects of the residents' health and happiness are their first priority and GP or hospital appointments are organised as and when required. With an on-site hair salon, visits from the chiropodist and manicurist the residents are able to maintain a high level of self-care. There is much more I could write but overall our family are really happy and impressed with the care provided and would highly recommend Elvaston Lodge.

Food is great too and staff always appear to go out of their way to prepare something else if requested.

In the last year, I have found the management of the home to be of a very high standard.

I’m very happy with the overall care and friendliness of the staff and with the security and cleanliness of the home.
