Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a long time trying to keep her independent, we had no choice but to find a nursing home that we were ok for her to stay. We are so pleased with the care she gets at Elmwood. She is a lot safer than on her own, she is normally very reserved, but they have encouraged her to mix with other residents
and join in with the activity's; it's like she has found a new lease of life. She even likes going in the gardening and has helped to plants some flowers, she lived in a 1st floor flat, but we could not get her down the stairs. It must be around 2 to 3 years since she has sat in a garden. She was very fussy about which meals she would eat, but again she is eating all the meals and puddings given to her, and it's all freshly cooked on-site by their own chief. She gets on great with the carers and has a laugh with them. I must say that we made the right choice with Elmwood nursing home and would recommend it to anybody's family member. It's a great relief not having to worry all the time if she's safe.

Review from Susan A (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum's total lack of mobility and dementia meant she could no longer live in her own home. The care and attention she has received since going into Elmwood made the transition between her own home/hospital and care home much easier and acceptable to her. In these difficult times of limited visits, we
have always found the staff to be very helpful in a professional and friendly manner to ensure the visit goes well. Mum is enjoying the activities provided at Elmwood and has welcomed the opportunity to meet other residents in the lounge and out in the garden, which is encouraged by the care staff. The care staff are looking after her extremely well from both a health and wellbeing aspect. Mum enjoys the interaction with the staff, and she tells us the food is lovely. We could not wish for her to be in a better place; she now seems to be enjoying life.
Reply from Amanda Barnes, Customer Service Adviser at Elmwood Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are happy to hear that Elmwood care home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. It s lovely to hear that Mum has settled in and is enjoying the activities. We hope to continue providing your Mum with the best possible care.

Having moved our mum here a few months ago from another care home, we were worried that she wouldn't settle in. How wrong could we be. The care and attention is faultless, and although it has been a difficult time for visiting, the worry about her well-being has been lifted. Thank you Elmwood.

My wife became a resident four years ago. She was the victim of a catastrophic stroke and a long-time sufferer of Parkinsons disease. The nursing care, love and attention she received from all staff has been second to none. I cannot thank the Elmwood staff enough for making my wife's stay with them
as comfortable as it has possible to have been.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Elmwood was my first choice when it came to choosing a care home for my sister. I had visited before lockdown and the staff were welcoming and professional. Everyone was so friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The residents were always clean and treated with dignity and respect. We were
obviously very concerned about the lockdown, however, I haven't been disappointed. All the staff have gone above and beyond to look after my sister and the other residents with lots of activities on offer, but with safety being first and foremost with any decisions made. My sister has settled so well and I can't thank everyone enough.

Under extreme pressures and uncertainty Elmwood has continued to provide exceptional care for my grandma. We haven't had to worry about her care or wellbeing as Elmwood has always kept us informed and reassured with the wonderful security it gives to her and to us. She is so happy and living there is

My wife's cousin was a Christian and regularly visited care homes. She saw many. She chose this nursing home herself. Ultimately she suffered 2 massive strokes and eventually was on 'care for life'. Instead of 48 hours, she lasted many days. All the staff were superb and the care and devotion were excellent.
May God bless your work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have nothing but praise for the Care Manager and her fantastic team in the 6-months that my mother has been a resident. Nothing is too much trouble, and my mother is treated like 'one of the family' which has been so important during the Coronavirus epidemic when it has not been possible to see our
mother face-to-face for many months now.
All the staff have been vigilant in keeping all the residents safe and have remained extremely positive and upbeat despite now having to wear full PPE. They were one of the first care homes in the country to push for Covid-19 testing of all the residents and staff, which is applauded.
I can't speak more highly of how wonderful Elmwood is. My mother had been in two previous care homes down south before moving back to Leeds, and neither was a patch on what Elmwood offers.
My mother is happy and comfortable, which gives us so much comfort during these challenging times. The group should be very proud of the Elmwood team. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been in several care homes, living for an extended period in three of them, with Elmwood being 'home' for over three years now.
Without doubt - Elmwood has been and continues to be by far the best place Mum has lived.
This is because Elmwood has a dedicated team of people who do actually care
about the people they look after.
There are too many individuals to single out as special, all I can say on Mum's behalf - is thank you to each and every one of you for your genuine care (which has not wavered during these last difficult months) and ongoing hard work in looking after all your residents to the very best of your abilities.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Elmwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 13 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 4.698 for Elmwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 162 Ratings = 4.698
  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 Care Home is based on 13 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 13 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.

Tom Carter

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.

Lesley

Lesley Clayforth

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!
