Review from Marchia A (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 October 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has been in The Elms for just over 2.5 years and has late-stage dementia. I have found the staff to be very helpful, very friendly and Mum is well cared for. There was an issue when Mum first moved in with regards to the washing of clothes, essentially everything goes in a tumble dryer and therefore everything was coming out creased but this has now been resolved. Being a specialist dementia care home, I find it really good that they do not have a high turnover of staff. Obviously some people come and go but the majority of staff have been there all the time Mum has been at the home. I would definitely recommend the home to anyone whose loved one has dementia. I don't think the website does it justice as Mum is in the new bit at the back and the rooms are a very generous size.
