Over all time Elm Lodge has 1 review.
Elm Lodge is a very homely and extremely caring establishment. Having first-hand experience recently of all staff and management and witnessing the meals being served we would highly recommend it, the decor and furnishings need attention but the care and support given to both residents and family is second to none, really welcoming.
