Over all time The Elms Care Home has 45 reviews.
I have nothing but praise for the staff at The Elms. My husband is well looked after always clean and tidy and for that I am grateful. I know it is only the care and attention they give my husband that he looks as well as he does.
It was a joy to be able to see and talk with my parents and to share that joy with the staff who have been looking after them so well through these very difficult times. Thank you.
I have nothing but praise to say about the home and their excellent care of my friend and have said this to several people when asked what the home is like.
As we entered The Elms we were struck by the pleasant surroundings - a bright and well-appointed reception area, and a warm welcome. Compared to other Homes in Louth, many of the residents seemed more active and responsive. The lounge and activity area was, again, nicely decorated, with a pleasant ambience.
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and it was this that tipped the balance in favour of The Elms. No Care Home will ever be perfect for a loved one, but surely a key factor is the staff, and how they relate to, and care for, residents.
We had no regrets about our decision. My mother was in The Elms for eight weeks, the final three of which she was bed-ridden and very poorly. The professionalism, sensitivity and good humour the staff showed towards her, in particular in the last 48 hours before she passed away, was, it seemed to us, over and above merely doing their job.
Good food. Could do with a make-over in some areas.
Overall, very satisfied.
Having visited other care homes for my husband being in care. To me this is the best care home which i have visited. The kindness of care which my husband receives is very much appreciated.
