Elmwood is a purpose-built home, located in a quiet part of Bickley, Kent. They offer a comfortable and loving home, with a high standard of person-centred care to sixty seven older people with physical or elderly frail nursing needs. Nurses and carers provide full nursing and clinical care twenty four hours a day. They are dedicated to caring for residents with dignity, respect and compassion and to serving residents’ social, physical, clinical and emotional needs.
Staff are loyal and hardworking, ensuring a strong continuity of care for residents and work to encourage independence and freedom of choice.
Residents’ bedrooms are spread across three secure and accessible floors. Each floor benefits from a large, bright lounge and dining area. All bedrooms are large, spacious and well appointed with ensuite facilities and pleasant views onto the front or rear gardens or surrounding residential area. Whilst all furniture, linen and towels are provided, with rooms presented to a high decorative standard, carers encourage residents to personalise their bedrooms as they wish.
All meals are prepared onsite using fresh ingredients. Menus are prepared and updated on a regular basis, in full consultation with residents and their advocates. The team are committed to ensuring that any dietary needs and preferences are met and that varied and nutritional meals are available to suit every cultural and personal choice.
Elmwood benefits from a diverse and extensive programme of activities, events and excursions, a coffee shop, cinema, chapel, hairdressing salon and internet suite for residents’ use. Strong community relationships ensure strong pastoral and religious support, with weekly church services in the home.
Professionals would be delighted to welcome you to Elmwood or provide further information by post or telephone about life in the home.

The home has a range of things to do. Staff friendly. Not all residents get a drink at 11 and 3, the trolley doesn't always go to bedrooms. Mum not able to ask for drink, so always seems thirsty. Staff need to pop in more and give one. Bedside table not always clean and bedrail cushions. Carpet needs replacing in bedrooms and walls a wipe down. Staff are approachable and polite.
I am happy that mum is in Elmwood.

Overall Experience
I have only been here one week. I can not fault the facilities or the service provided by the staff. The food is excellent and the staff are very kind and helpful. All in all, I would recommend Elmwood to anyone who needs care.

In this instance, I can only comment on Elmwood since I have no knowledge of the other care homes managed by Mission Care. Glancing through the various pamphlets/leaflets published, the phrase "committed to providing a high standard of care and supporting family and friends" appears frequently. As far as I am concerned, apart from the odd minor issue, Mission Care stay close to this code of values.
As in all businesses, managers set the tone and style and in this regard, the manager, assisted by her clinical lead, sets high standards and leads by example.
