Father in law has now been at Elmwood for over 6 months. Both him and my mother in law went in together. He has settled into his new home very well and straight away got involved in the daily activities and entertainment. He enjoys the excellent variety of food made by the on-site Chef. They will also
provide him meals that are not on that daysmenu if he fancies something else. All the staff are very nice and supportive. The home is well run, clean and in good order. The manager is very good and approachable. My father in law is very happy there.

My mum has been at the Care Home for nearly 2 years. Every member of the Elmwood team is friendly, caring and attentive towards my mum.
All staff do their best to ensure the residents feel comfortable and well supported on a daily basis. Any concerns we have, the staff are always willing to listen
and take action/advise where possible.
My mum is happy at the home and we appreciate everyone working at Elmwood.

Excellent care. Wonderful staff, though I think they could do with more as they are extremely hard pushed to complete all task quickly and sometimes had to wait for the attention because they were so busy.

It is hard to rate considering my friend was only at Elmwood for 10 days before he passed away. However feel I can make the following comments:
- The management team were very good and extremely responsive both on admission and during my friend's stay
- Care staff were always friendly, approachable
and definitely seemed to have his interests at heart, and in particular extremely welcoming on arrival
- Food was fine, and the catering staff were flexible to his wishes - soup and ice cream were the main things he wanted to eat
- The room was clean and perfectly functional but not very large, so space for hoisting and wheelchair movement was a little restrictive
Location is great, close to shops and Roundhay Park, although sadly he was never well enough to get out. Overall a brief but positive experience, and would happily recommend Elmwood as a small friendly care home.

Arrived at 13:40 lunch was running late and my sister was in her room, she presented as very agitated and delirious. Alerted a member of staff who said it was normal behaviour for her (I visit monthly and have never seen her like this). I raised the issue of whether it could be a water infection but
this was dismissed. No tea was brought around in the two hours I was present. Due to my sister's stroke and dementia, she sleeps for long periods but I feel she needs more encouragement to drink in order to prevent her from becoming dehydrated.

My wife became resident at Elmwood Care Home since 23rd January 2023, I was extremely apprehensive about her admission. Gradually I learned that my fears were groundless, a major reason for this was the faith and admiration I had for one of your staff in particular. During the following 15 months, it
became obvious to me that he was reliable conscientious and energetic. I would rate him the star performer at the Elmwood Care Home, Leeds, the other staff support my views and share them. At all material times, he has dealt with us in a very professional manner and I have nothing but praise for him.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Elmwood Care Home

Thank you for such a kind review. We are so pleased to hear a member of our staff has gone above and beyond in helping your family with this difficult transition, amongst the rest of the care being "excellent". We will certainly pass your comments on to the home's manager.

My mother has been at Elmwood for nearly a year now and I must say it really has been an excellent experience. She is really well cared for and is very happy. The carers are friendly, attentive and genuinely lovely people. Mum now spends a lot of her time socialising with her new friends in the day
room, playing games, having her nails done and being entertained by the many visiting groups (singers, visitors from church, mobile shop, animal visitors etc). She was also taken out shopping the other day which I thought was beyond her. She has also had really good medical input, including timely GP reviews. It’s been all that we hoped for and thanks for keeping my mum happy!

My husband was admitted to Elmwood Care Home in January 2023 from hospital and was with them until he sadly passed away in March 2023. We knew from the moment the manager came to assess my husband in the hospital that we had picked the right place for him to stay. Everyone from the managers, nurses,
care staff, cleaners, kitchen staff and the two reception ladies made the whole family feel welcome and could not do enough for us. My husband had a bad leg and couldn't walk, he also had a bad foot which the nurses treated very professionally and with care. All the staff were wonderful to him and had little jokes with him to keep him as happy as he could be. He knew all the names of the staff that were looking after him. We would recommend this home to anybody who is in need of care. Thank you.

Dad came to Elmwood from hospital after yet another fall and the effects of previous strokes back in April 2021. At the height of the pandemic, we were thrown into a very difficult time. The admin staff at Elmwood were extremely helpful with our initial enquiries and ensured the transition was as simple
as possible. Our main objective was for Dad to be safe and for Mum to no longer have the daily stress associated with his 24-hour care needs. We are overjoyed with the care Dad gets, and he seems 'happy as Larry'. Whilst his memory isn't the best, he lives in the moment and appears to have built good and fun relationships with the staff. He's never far from an awful joke, song or anecdote! When we visit, he is always well turned out and groomed (now the hairdresser is back) and seems very happy. The biggest plus for us is the new lease of life that Mum has. Whilst it's a wrench to no longer have Dad at home, her stresses have been removed. Thank you, Elmwood; roll on open visiting!

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Elmwood Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to have been able to help you and the whole family through what was no doubt a really difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.673)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out 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 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.673 for Elmwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.673

  • b) 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 Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

Having a passion when it comes to healthcare, my background is built on Operational NHS Community Service Management. My experience from these roles includes service improvement projects to streamline Community Services, renovating Child Development Centres through to commissioning new therapy rehab programmes. I made the change to Bupa care services to enable a more focused improvement approach with the aim of providing the highest quality care to our residents' whilst promoting independence and dignity in a setting that can be enjoyed by everyone.


My appreciation of this role comes from the improvements we can provide for residents, and equally their families lives. Providing a safe engaging environment where residents can be themselves alongside visits from their loved ones helps us achieve a home away from home setting here at Elmwood.


I commute daily from Brighouse and spend my spare time with my fiancé and Toy Poodle, Ralphie, who is well known and fondly thought of by residents. I recently adopted 6 chickens and enjoy spending my time outside when the weather permits. I also serve on the board as a Trustee for Carers Trust Mid Yorkshire in my spare time to give back and help shape the local care provision and support in my local area.

Job Title: Clinical Deputy Manager

Joined: 2023

I have been a registered mental health nurse since 2016. Prior to Elmwood I worked in NHS services, including forensic wards, mental health wards, acute general medicine ward and acute older persons mental health ward. During my working career within the NHS I was able to progress to ward manager, providing leadership and management throughout the pandemic. I enjoy working in care services as making a change to someone’s life and improving quality of life is very important to me.


I am born and bred in Barnsley and have 3 children – a son, and 2 daughters. I have a cockapoo called Millie and in my spare time I enjoy walking, camping, travelling and reading. When I'm feeling creative I also love a bit of painting or crochet.

Job Title: House Keeper

Joined: 1995

I have worked here at Bupa for 29 years. I enjoy working in the care home sector as nurturing is an element I have naturally gravitated towards; it was instilled in me from a young age by my mother. I worked in hospitality in the 70's and 80's, and subsequently came into the Bupa family many years ago - I enjoy the family dynamic here; everyone is an extension of each other and our team is all part of the foundation that keeps it running so well.


I am a mum of two and a grandma to one. I live locally to the home; just a stone's throw away from Roundhay Park and in my spare time I love learning about culture and places that proceed beyond home. I'm also a lover of soaps, you can't beat a good episode of EastEnders!
