The Leonard Elms Care Home

We have found the care to be excellent. The staff are friendly and show a genuine concern for residents. The activities were good although it's been a long time since Dad could engage with them.

Care very good, also food seems to be very satisfactory.

My mother is well looked after by caring staff. The staff also make a fuss of my father whenever he visits my mother. Her room is kept clean and tidy and she appears well fed.

Dad was at the elms for over 7 years, entering in the mid stages of dementia and staying there until he died. At first he was very active and an escape artist and at the end completely bed ridden and mentally incapacitated.

He was probably as happy there as he was anywhere in his life. He had friendship, a lovely private room with a view, attentive staff, good food, privacy, entertainment and superb nursing care. He became one of the family and relatives were known by sight to the staff. It was a personal and loving place & we had no concerns about him. He wasn't a room number, he was Ken - no care by numbers and bored agency staff at the Elms but an extended family.

Dad was clean, happy, comfortable and well fed and as his disease progressed he was cared for in a dignified and gentle way. The fees were incredibly reasonable and comprehensive with no surprises.

When my time comes I'd be happy to go there.
