Mum had a wonderful 94th birthday thanks to the hardworking staff's thoughtful and generous provision of decorations, refreshments and lovely birthday cake. Mum is being very well cared for, we are four generations of family, we were able to relax together with peace of mind, to celebrate.

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.

Reply from Natalie Krisman, Customer Service Advisor at Elmwood Care Home

Thank you for your review and I am sorry for your loss. I hope that it brings you comfort that she was well cared for by the staff in Elmwood.

Review from Clement C (Brother of Resident) published on 18 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Natalie Krisman, Customer Service Adviser at Elmwood Care Home

Thank you for your review. We are very proud of our carers and staff and the high level of individualised care which they provide.

I have been staying here to recuperate (post hospital) for over two weeks I have received the kindest attention from all the staff. Kind smiles from all well appreciated. I was at first a nervous patient but found it a please experience, nothing was too much trouble.

My thanks to one and all.

Review from Steve J (Son of Resident) published on 19 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Steven W (Son of Resident) published on 5 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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!!

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jackie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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.

Tom Carter
Tom CarterJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 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.

Louise Slater
Louise SlaterJob Title:Clinical Deputy ManagerJoined: 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 Clayforth
Lesley ClayforthJob Title:House KeeperJoined: 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!

Zaben Abbas
Zaben AbbasJob Title:Maintenance OperativeJoined: 2024

I have always worked in maintenance - I guess I enjoy fixing & repairing things!

I enjoy working in care services as I like chatting with residents and working with great people.

In my spare time I like socialising, keeping fit at the gym and watching anything sports related!
