My father has been in Elmwood for just over 3 years now and have found it to be one of the better care homes in the Boston area.
I have, over recent years visited other relatives in surrounding areas to which by far, Elmwood house excels itself in all areas.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking
to seek a clean, modern, caring home in a happy environment.

Elmwood House provides outstanding care. It is a very friendly and caring family orientated care home which provides excellent entertainment from craft workshops, gardening clubs, seated exercise classes, sing-a-long sessions plus musicians/singers performing live to the residents. This is such a special
place to be and each resident feels very special on their birthday as the chef bakes a homemade cake and banners and balloon set the scene, how nice is that. There is something for everyone including the residents family to enjoy. The staff are all amazing and highly trained in what they do.nothing is too much trouble. The residents regularly go outside and are taken round the gorgeous grounds, including the fishpond. The flowerbeds are beautiful and if you are lucky you will see the odd squirrel or duck. My mum is well looked after and you can see that in her smile. She always looks, clean and tidy. I wouldn't want mum anywhere else. Thank you team Elmwood for everything you do.

Elmwood House Care home is a lovely care home that puts the residents first. It is certainly a home from home.
The staff are all very friendly and care for each resident on an individual basis, getting to know their likes and dislikes.
As a relative the staff are very friendly towards us and are
always willing to listen to any concerns and will act on our concerns straight away.
The nurses are very proactive and conscientious which is really reassuring. They know each resident which I feel is very important to understand their health needs.
The manager will always make herself available discuss any concerns and respond positively.
It gives us peace of mind knowing my mother-in-law being so well looked after.

Mum not yet moved in but will be shortly. On our two visits all staff, including maintenance teams have been friendly, polite , reassuring and helpful.
They have reassured me, as well as mum, that she will be well looked after and cared for.
There was a good feeling to the place as soon as we walked
in.
I feel.happy knowing that once mum has moved in I won't have to worry about ringing her, getting no answer and wondering what has gone wrong

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Elmwood House is truly one of a kind. Although my grandmother's stay was sadly brief, the care she received was nothing short of exceptional. My mum and I were always met with warm, happy faces and tight hugs that never failed to make us feel at ease. The home radiated happiness and love, which was
exactly what grandma needed after her long and difficult journey. Despite her weakness, the staff managed to bring an everlasting smile to her face, for which we are forever grateful.
It was a privilege to get to know the staff, and we cannot recommend Elmwood House highly enough. Their kindness towards my grandmother has touched us. It truly is a remarkable place that I would wholeheartedly recommend time and time again!! Thank you so so much!

I would like to thank on behalf of our family all the staff at Elmwood Care home who showed their love, care and understanding in taking care of our mother. It was humbling to witness and feel the genuine care shown throughout our mums stay at the home filled our hearts with peace and gave us the reassurance
that our mother was in the right place. Thanks once again to everyone!

Mum lived at Elmwood House for over 6 years, in that time she was well looked after and very happy. The staff were amazing as mum had very complex needs. She was always treated with utmost respect and love, always looked clean and tidy and wanted for nothing. I would totally recommend Elmwood to anyone
who is looking for a home for family members.

My Nan moved here aged 97 and stayed here until she died recently at 102 years old. She was so well cared for, and loved in this home - it was the absolute best thing we did for her. All the staff without exception were kind, gentle, funny and loving. Nan had so many hugs and kisses on her birthdays
(particularly her 100th). When she had her funeral, we drove the funeral hearse passed the home on the way to the crematorium, and lots of the staff and some residents, were stood outside the gates, waving and then clapping us passed. All of them were in tears. Nan was not only well fed, entertained, kept clean and well in Elmwood - she truly was loved as well.

I'm very happy with the care my Dad receives at Elmwood House. All his needs are being met by the caring staff. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and there is a lovely atmosphere within the home. There are plenty of well being activities for the residents to take part in, although my Dad's condition
limits his participation in some of these. There are also regular social get togethers for residents, staff and relatives, often with entertainment, which are enjoyed by everyone.

My mother-in-law was only at Elmwood House for a brief time before passing away. However, it was long enough for us to acknowledge how wonderful and caring every member of staff was to her and us as a family. The newly renovated home is cosy and comfortable and every aspect of the facilities encourages
a home-from-home atmosphere. We cannot praise the staff enough for the care and respect along with hug hugs for us at the end. Many thanks to the family at Elmwood.

My dad is very happy here and has lots of encouragement from the staff, he really enjoys the activities and singalongs. His room is a little small and not much room to put the things he wants around him. The staff are brilliant, very helpful in sorting things out as he has a bad condition and as I work
full time (previously his full-time carer) it's a huge relief knowing he will always be looked after if I am on holiday or a night out.

As a family, we were very happy with the care my grandad received. He said to us, on many occasions, how nice everyone was. We know he felt safe and cared for. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. The home felt very clean, inviting and warm and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. We always
felt that Grandad was in good hands, which was a huge relief for us knowing he was safe 24/7. I have already recommended Elmwood House Care Home to other family and friends.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Elmwood House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.920 for Elmwood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.92
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elmwood House Care Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
