Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Elmwood Care Home: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.3 (maximum of 10) for Elmwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Elmwood Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.612 for Elmwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.612
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elmwood Care Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 7.2 positive Reviews (36 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 7.2 Target = 0.694
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Elmwood Care Home has a Review Score of 9.3 (9.306) from 13 Reviews

My mother has been in this care home since November 2017. She sadly passed away this month, but the care and compassion the staff gave mother and the family were excellent. The staff and management were so friendly and approachable.

Things here continue to impress, it all appears to run with a high degree of customer satisfaction, particularly as far as the residents within are concerned. Attention to detail is paramount. It must be quite difficult at times trying to achieve total satisfaction, but they seem to be able to go beyond that, and more. Well done to all the staff.

Mother has been at "Elmwood" for nine years and in my opinion, has gone from when she arrived in 2009 being ok to excellent in 2018 under the stewardship of the new manager.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Steve J (Son of Resident) on Thursday 8 December 2016. Relates to November 2016.
The key to any nursing home, in my opinion, is its staff. Ultimately their individual care, empathy and skills will impact the life of the residents more than any other single area. The staff at Elmwood possess these qualities. Friendly, caring and respectful toward their charges.
I asked my mother when she was able to speak, if she felt cared for - possibly the most important question for me as her son, she replied that she did. It is this care by the staff, in all its forms, I believe has kept my mother alive and well 2 years longer than the GP's expectations when she first arrived at Elmwood. The facilities are good, cleanliness excellent but the staff from the reception to the social host to all nursing staff and care assistants are what make Elmwood.

My mother first entered Elmwood having to be hoisted to do anything. My family members and I truly thought this was going to be a very confusing and short existence. It has turned out to be the exact opposite. Our mother is now (albeit very limited) able to manoeuvre herself unaided under watchful eyes. We truly believe this improvement is due to the level and quality of care given at Elmwood.
P.S The food is fantastic.
Well done everyone!!

My mother is 101 years old in two weeks. She has lived at Elmwood for almost 11 years. I am not backwood at coming forward if a complaint is necessary, but in 11 years this has never been necessary. My mothers room is large, always clean and free from odour. When the weather is good there is a pleasant outside area to sit. The meals are served in a spacious restaurant and the choice of menu is excellent. Above all the staff are and have been over 11 years, excellent.

My 94 year old terminally ill great aunt, spent the last few weeks of her life in Elmwood. I was incredibly impressed with the whole team who contributed to that care. Room was comfortable and clean, still were very caring, supportive, friendly and competent. They were understanding and sympathetic to our plight. I would not hesitate to recommend the home to any one else with same circumstances as our own.

Mum stayed here for two weeks respite. All the staff were caring and friendly. Mum was very well cared for and looked after during her stay. The staff made sure mum was assessed and her needs met whilst she was there. This was greatly appreciated by the family and helped provide peace of mind.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jackie B (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 22 October 2015. Relates to October 2015.
The new manager is very good, and what the care home needed! She has the residents care and well-being in her sight and has been working hard, listening to residents that can communicate, striving for better personal care, interaction with staff and residents, dignity, sending staff on courses to improve these areas. She has eradicated the problems with the night time staffing issues Elmwood had which were concerning.
Very good group of carers for the vast majority. Although the carers do not have the time to spend better/ quality time with residents, only have time to do the basics eg. toilet help, health matters. Residents need more personal time shared! Food and drink is very poor, poorly made, poor quality and very cheap - want this to change. Resident's that can complain do but the chef doesn't change.
The Activities Coordinator at Elmwood does a Wonderful Job. He is so giving of himself to all the Residents. He is a delight to watch with them.
