My mother who is becoming very confused was admitted to Elm Bank 10 days ago. She was reluctant to move but to my surprise has settled much better than expected, mainly because the staff have been so caring and supportive. They redecorated her room prior to admission and hung pictures, curtain rails and shelves. My mother enjoys the meals and loves the circular lounge upstairs. When she asked about changing her room to be near that lounge, instead of expressing frustration (as I did) the staff kindly said it was possible. We'll wait and see.
My father is well looked after with kindness and humour. His behaviour is sometimes difficult and irritating but the staff are great, and the manager is a star.

I enjoy coming to Elm Bank Care Home because it serves my care. When I come here, my wife can go and do her interests. I have made many friends since I have been here and join in with the varied activities.
