Review from Val C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the management and staff for all their hard work, dedication and above all the loving care shown to Dad over the last four years plus. He initially went in to Elderthorpe for respite care and after two weeks of being there, he requested to stay permanently. Elderthorpe took a huge weight off of my shoulders knowing that Dad was cared for, loved and kept warm and safe. Their care for him was exemplary, I certainly would not have managed to get through without their unfailing support. Staff have been so supportive to us both and over the years Dad and myself came to regard them all as family and even though Dad is no longer with us, I still continue to visit the wonderful staff. I was asked today if it is difficult for me to return now that Dad is gone, I could reply honestly by saying 'No, not at all, it's like coming home'. Thank you for going above and beyond for Dad and myself, you are all amazing caring people.

Review from Cath B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum first went to live in Elderthorpe in April 2021 and she recently passed away mid-September. In the time she lived there, she was cared for by the most amazing caring staff. Putting my mum in Elderthorpe was the best decision I made for her for the time she was there I can not fault the care and support she was given.
On the 18th of August 2023 she was out on end-of-life care and the care she received was second to none, it was Mum's wish not to go to hospital and this was honoured by the staff. In the 4 weeks prior to her death, her dignity was kept intact and I was supported at a most distressing time, I was kept informed of everything that was happening and the staff explained step by step what was happening and were always there to offer comfort to myself and my daughter. They became closer than family to us both. My daughter was with mum when she passed and was supported during that time by the manager who was with her in Mum's room. They have continued to support us.
