My mum started out at Elgar Court on a 2 week respite trial, and liked it so much she decided to stay on permanently! From the start, all staff have been friendly and welcoming, and have gone out of their way to make mum feel comfortable and included. I have walked in more than once to find a staff member encouraging mum to join in a group activity that she otherwise might not have considered, and facilitating relationships with likeminded residents. Food is great, the home is beautifully designed and mums room has lovely views of the Malvern Hills.
Thank you Alison for your wonderful review! We work hard to ensure our residents lifestyle, care and environment meet their needs and more and we will pass your kind comments onto our team. Kindest regards, Rosalyn Forson, Acting General Manager.

It's a shame the home as only a minibus for trips Mum is unable to manage this due to due to severe back pain and therefore is restricted to in-house entertainment or wait for family to help. I feel the recent price/fee raise is unacceptable in the light of family doing her washing, limited access to outside visits etc.

My mother is happy & well cared for. All staff are friendly and approachable. Occasionally activities are cancelled at short notice but she really enjoys the things she does. Shame that my mother isn't able to go out on the minibus because she is too uncomfortable. This limits the number of activities she can take part in. Despite this, the cost of her room is extremely high for what she is getting - my sisters do her washing, she eats very little. This is especially shocking since the profit Barchester Healthcare are making. It is no reflection on the staff of the home who work hard & do their very best.

I need help with various aspects of care and find these are carried out in a respectful and thorough manner. Staff are always caring and helpful and above all kind and effective. Well done Elgar!!
For a research job in the past, I have visited all aged care facilities in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire over a two year period so I have a comprehensive view of what can be offered in care homes. I visited my sister-in-law who has dementia in November 2025. I want to say how...
Flowers growing in a box at waist height to welcome you.
A coffee area and lounge as you walked in.
A warm welcome from the staff.
The lift centrally placed in the foyer with simple codes to stop those clients who have dementia from getting lost.
The welcome from staff and clients in the dementia ward upstairs.
The wide welcoming corridors and clients' doors to their bedrooms.
The place smelt clean (i.e. no old peoples home smell!).
The staff were happy and friendly.
What a lovely atmosphere. Congratulations to all who work there to make this the home from home that it is.
What a wonderful review of our home and this is so very appreciated by our staff. We work hard to make the daily life of our residents meaningful, and pleasurable for their family and friends to visit. Thank you so much for this review, as it is the cherry on the cake for the life of our home! Kindest regards Naomi

You will not find a better care home in the West Midlands - full stop. The staff are genuinely caring; the food is varied daily and appears excellent quality. The facilities are first class (as a newly opened home, this might be expected) and visitors are warmly welcomed. There is a full list of resident 'activities' published in advance and offering multiple experiences for residents. Expensive but excellent.
Thank you for your generous review and kind words about our team and wonderful home. We continually strive to ensure each day at Elgar Court is the best for our residents, and your review of our care is testament to the efforts of our team. Thank you!
Elgar Court is now my Dad's and Mum's permanent residence. I have no need to worry day to day about any more so have more capacity on being a daughter again. The staff are so caring and compassionate. They also seem to have infinite amount of patience. The staff have made this difficult...
I do feel both parents are listened to which as they have got older had not always been the case.
Thank you all so much

He has recovered so well and enjoyed celebrating his 90th birthday in July using the Private Dining Room at Elgar Court .
Everyone involved contributed into making it an extremely special day providing us all with very happy memories.
Thanks to all .

Elgar Court are doing a fabulous job of looking after my father in law, and he is very settled there. The activities are varied and they go out of their way to encourage the residents to participate. It is a great comfort to us as a family to know that he is so well cared for, and the staff are wonderful. In particular, he had a birthday party this past week and the chef did a fabulous job of catering for all of us. Thank you so much.
