Our mum has dementia and went in hospital then to Elmbank respite care, we were desperate to find a caring wonderful care home, after searching for ages I came across Elmbank care home. The house manager is amazing and helped us settle in our mum with so much care and fun. She loves it there and feels

Thank you thank you for making me my mums daughter again and not her carer!

Review from Annamaria M (Mother of Resident) published on 26 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend Elmbank and the staff there. They are caring and diligent in their everyday management of the residents. My mother was with them for nearly a year and a half. Mum had full blown Alzheimer, she did not recognise food, could not communicate. nor indicate she was in any discomfort.
Complex issues to say the least. The previous care-home that mum was at, had virtually starved her, along with many other things.
To cut the long story short. My mother looked healthier at Elmbank, hours before her death (when I last saw mum) than when she left her other decrepit care-home a year and a half ago. The manager (and her team) managed to get mum into a daily routine making sure that mum took food and fluids. Mum never smelt of urine at Elmbank (unlike the previous care-home.) nor did her room, or indeed the establishment itself, smell squalid. Highly recommended.

Thank You for your kind words. It is always nice to hear that we providing a good service. It was a pleasure looking after your mother. She was a lovely lady.

The Manager and her team are amazing. The home is always clean, the residents are happy and well cared for. The team have always respected my families cultural needs - they understand that they want to eat pasta and other dishes from their home country as well as the regular dishes the home provides.
The staff are friendly and dedicated to the care of all the residents. The manager is always happy to discuss how my family is getting on and knows all about the day they have had. The team also addresses the medical needs of my family with professionalism, empathy and understanding meaning that my family have always been comfortable and content in the home and have never been left in discomfort due to the staffs training and routine within the home. I would highly recommend this home for any families who want a safe and happy place for their loved ones who need the additional help and care during the later stages of their lives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is very stressful to find what you believe to be a good nursing home for the final months of your loved ones life. From the moment we stepped into Elmbank we could feel the warmth and care towards the residents and felt reassured that my mum would be well looked after. The manager sensed my worry
and said "trust me, I promise we will look after your mum" She lived up to that promise.
My mum was looked after and ended up becoming friendly with the staff and felt she had a very close bond with some in particular The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, caring and often went beyond to make sure my mum was as comfortable and as happy as she could be. I feel confident I made a good decision and would have no hesitation in recommending Elmbank to anyone looking for a nursing home for their loved one.
Reply from Susan Erwin, Home Manager at Elmbank Nursing Home

Thank You so much. Your mum and all of you were very special. She was a joy to care for and sadly missed. I have every confidence in our staff and pleased we lived up to our promise.

My father has been a resident at Elmbank Nursing Home for 4 years. Whilst he has forgotten much of his life before going to Elmbank he is now getting more enjoyment from the life he has now than when he was at home. He is safe and clean and well cared for. He receives affectionate attention from the
staff. I am happy that he is a resident at Elmbank

My mum has been at Elbank for over 12 months. All the staff treat her with care and respect. They get her up and dressed each day and encourage her to take part in activities and meals out for example at Christmas. The rooms are clean and so are the bathrooms and toilets. My mom is always dressed in
clean clothes. She has put on the weight she had previously lost as her food and fluid intake are monitored. The meals I have seen provided seem adequate. There is a daily menu board which seems varied. If there are any health issues or concerns I am promptly contacted. I would recommend this facility to others.

During my aunt's stay the care has been marvellous. The difference in her well-being from being in the hospital to moving to the Elmbank Care Home has been amazing. I have been very impressed when visiting to watch how other residents are cared for. My aunt is very happy and settled at Elmbank and the
family and I are very grateful to have found my aunt's 'new home'.

My friends in here and in general all the staff at Elmbank are very friendly, helpful and caring for the residents. It is nice to see activities for them and they all enjoy themselves. The choice of food at meal times looks very good and displayed very well.
As a suggestion, it would be helpful for
the members of staff to wear ID badges as it would enable visitors to address them by name.
Great service.

My mum has been a resident at Elmbank for over 3 years. She entered during Covid at a point where I was unable to visit the home in advance. What I appreciate now, however, is that it can be difficult on an initial visit to see beyond the 'cushions and the curtains'. Of course it's important that my
mum is in a nice environment, but the most important thing is the leadership, the staff and the care provided.
I really can't speak highly enough for the leadership, culture, and staff at Elmbank. They are very professional, transparent if anything goes wrong and, above all, they are genuinely caring. Mum now has profound dementia and is very fragile, but I never worry about her. On the contrary, I feel that she lives in a loving home.

Mum was treated with care and compassion. The food and the care were excellent. The manager was exceptional, she was on the ball, very approachable and a very caring lady. The actual home (cosmetics) could do with some TLC but we looked beyond that and chose this home having observed the way the staff
supported and cared for the residents.
Reply from Huw James, Managing Director at Elmbank Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. We value all feedback, as this helps us to improve the service we provide. We appreciate your positive comments regarding our home, home manager and team, who work hard to deliver high standards of quality care. We will pass on your feedback to the team. I can also confirm that after some delay in securing, there are now currently contractors on site improving the cosmetics and appearance of the home.

I have only visited Elmbank once and previous communications by email. I have gained a favourable impression.
Staff were smiling and caring to residents, colleagues and me. Whilst obviously small physically, a homely atmosphere predominated.
It is reassuring for family members to observe pleasant
manner from staff to residents. I appreciate the demands and challenges of looking after our elderly who can be difficult at times.
Keep up the caring vibe. It is good.

Over several years my mum has received excellent nursing care at Elmbank. The staff are always attentive to her needs.
Her healthy appetite is a testimony to the very good catering provision. Communication with me concerning my mums care or medical intervention has always been excellent.
I would say
that Elm Bank has a real family atmosphere and would certainly recommend the care home to others.

The management and staff of Elmbank have looked after my wife for two years. They are caring and skilled and have an overriding concern for the comfort and well being of the residents. Entertainment, excursions (where appropriate) and other activities are regularly arranged and the constant supervision
of the nurses of duty ensure the good health of residents is maintained and appropriately referred to the GP or ambulance service. Before selecting Elmbank, I visited seven others and had no difficulty selecting Elmbank.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Elmbank Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.801 for Elmbank Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.801
  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 Elmbank Nursing 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, 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.
