Review from Elaine J (Resident / Service User) published on 3 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

For me personally, my experience has always been very good and regarding my disability I feel that I have been fully catered for and encouraged to be as independent as is possible. I feel that I have been treated with total respect and equality, I don't think I'll ever find a better care home,

Overall Experience

The Elms Care Centre is excellent, I visit most days and I am very happy with the care my husband receives. All the staff are so caring nothing is too much trouble for them. I have no concerns about the care he receives, which is a great comfort to me.

Review from Lynne F (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mum has been a resident of The Elms Care Centre, Saltash for a little over 4 months now and I can honestly say I could not have chosen a better home for her. From the moment my husband and I were show around the centre to actually taking Mum in to stay right up to and including the present day, we have been shown nothing but kindness, smiling faces, care and respect,
The home itself has a lovely warm homely feel to it and is beautifully decorated and clean as pin.
My Mum was used to living alone and I was absolutely certain she would spend most the time in her own room doing her own thing but to my surprise she rarely chooses to go there and in stead spends most of her time in one of the lounges, happy to be amidst the staff and residents.
She is happy and feels safe and cared for. I am allowed to visit whenever I like and I too am always made to feel welcome and a part of their family.

I genuinely can't recommend them enough.

Review from Elizabeth O (Cousin of Resident) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My cousin has been a resident of The Elms Care Centre for the last fifteen months, I really can't praise them enough, the staff are second to none, so caring, nothing too much trouble for them, from nursing staff, kitchen staff, cleaning staff, caring staff to office staff, all interact with residents which I think is just lovely. I can visit at anytime, within reason, and always made to feel welcome. The icing on the cake was when I took her to her bungalow (where her daughter still lives), after an hour she said, "I'm ready to go home now", to me that spoke volumes, that's how well she settled in and that is all down to the kindness of all the staff.

Review from J W (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mum is very up and down at the moment. I decided to pay and go ahead with trying to get her to the Christmas party. Two days leading up Mum was in bed. Then on the party morning I received a phone call from the activities lady saying Mum was up and her new Christmas jumper on. I was so emotional as didn't think Mum would make it this year. She had such a great time. Singing along to the Christmas songs (in her own words)

I can't thank the care staff and activities ladies enough for making this happen. So very grateful to have this lovely memory.

Review from Yvonne P (Sister of Resident) published on 29 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My sister has been a resident at the care home for over three years. She is not always an easy person to get on with but has always had the very best care. I visit every week, and, as a retired deputy head, I am well used to assessing buildings, staff and facilities, and have always seen only the best. My sister is clean, well-dressed, 'aroma' free and I am so pleased she is cared for as she is. It takes a huge weight off my mind as I have Power of Attorney both financially and for health.

Review from Clare T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Made a hard decision to put my mother-in-law in for 2 weeks of respite care. She has been so well looked after, staff amazing, food delicious home cooked and plentiful. She has even socialised and joined a few activities.
She is well enough to return home now, gained a few pounds and looks better than she had for months.
The Elms is not a purpose-built modern home but it's quirky and clean - we wanted for nothing.

Highly recommend, thank you to you all.

Review from Peter S (Son of Resident) published on 12 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at The Elms for four years, and I am very happy with the care that has been given to her, especially during the Covid pandemic. Previous to this, she has always been well cared for, her room is clean, and all her needs ate provided. I am now able to visit her once a week, although she no longer knows who I am, it is still nice to see her!

Overall Experience

Mum was happy, well looked after. I felt at ease that she was being looked after. Every time I popped over to see her the staff took time to talk to me. If Mum needed to go into a home full time I wouldn't hesitate asking The Elms to take her.
