There simply isn't enough stars to give this place and the amazing staff. From the minute my mother-in-law arrived the care and support had been beyond what we ever expected, but they also gave us invaluable support during the difficult time. They took time to understand my mother in laws needs and personality and gave her the space and care she needed. They encouraged her but never forced her to join in with activities. She is now a very happy lady who loves who new home. One staff member in particular is always on hand with her lovely buddy, friendly personality to give us updates and advice. Thank you all.

I never thought we'd find a home good enough to look after my grandma. She means the world to us, so as you can imagine, no one could care for her as well as we'd like. Well, I stand corrected. My grandma has been given a new lease of life. I cannot thank the manager enough for supporting and enabling such a rapid move into Barchester Elm Bank Care Home. She immediately put us at ease. One staff member in particular greeted us on arrival with a warm and friendly welcome, displaying a personable, professional introduction to the home. My grandma is now engaging in social activities and has a good friend among the residents. I love the banter I hear between the team and my grandma. It's exactly what she needed. The family are all made to feel welcome when we visit and the kids love the hot chocolate when they visit grandma. Thank you to all the team, I'm sorry I can't list you all, but all contributions to her care mean everything to us.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of our home, management team and staff that have gone the distance to make the life of your grandma much happier and fulfilled. We strive and are dedicated to ensuring that all of our residents are given the best life enrichment possible.
All the staff are very friendly, the place is so clean and lots of activities going on.

Thank you so much for your review, we encourage our residents to join in with the group activities that our dedicated team organise in and out of the home. We also provide individual room activities for those resident who may prefer one to one engagements which allows them an opportunity to have the smaller social contact.

The best asset at Barchester Elm Bank Care Home is the wonderful staff. Without exception, everyone is welcoming and cheerful. We witnessed the very caring attitude of one member of staff who was patiently encouraging a resident to try some food. As well as helping them to drink and eat, she offered several suggestions of varying items, bringing them to the table to try. Although we were only staying for a week, the chefs preordered special dietary requirements and daily checked the suitability of the menus with us. Our break was refreshing and beneficial. It felt as though we were part of a big happy family.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of our home. It is so good to hear your experience of your stay with us and that you found the staff team made your stay positive. We pride ourselves on ensuring the dietary requirements of each individual resident is taken into account.

She has been encouraged to eat, is fed well, has taken part in activities and been so much more socially involved with others than she was before.

A very pleasant home, light and airy. My partner was on the dementia floor for respite. The staff came across as caring and experienced. The room was clean with a wet room, facilities looked good. It's just a real pity I was told they couldn't have her again when I picked her up. She has a rare form of dementia; maybe if she was a permanent resident things may have been different.
Thank you for your review. I am pleased you found the care staff caring and experienced and also liked the facilities. We are pleased we were able to support your partner for some respite.

Hello, my name is Tina and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Elm Bank Care Home.
I joined Elm Bank in May 2023 as a Team Leader soon becoming the Head of Care before moving to the role of Activities Coordinator and leading the team in January 2024. My passion is to provide life-enriching activities that enhance the lives of our residents.
By providing entertainment that is not only stimulating but person-centred. Our weekly calendar offers rich experiences with music from live entertainers, visits to various locations outside the home of interest, as well as arts and crafts tailored to individual abilities. We are a pet-friendly home and fully support the benefits animal therapy can bring to the lives of our residents and welcome animals of all kinds to the home regularly.
Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular family and friends meetings, we can gain a greater understanding of their loved one's interests and lives before joining Elm Bank which will make for a richer activities program to be developed. I look forward to getting to know you, and your loved ones.
We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please email...
New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

Hello. I am Isabel. I have been a team member at Elm Bank since 2010. I began my career in care homes in 2007.
As the first point of contact, I have the pleasure of meeting our residents and their families on a daily basis. It is important to me that families and residents see a familiar face, especially for new residents, where I can provide reassurance. I know this can be such a big step and a turning point in their lives. In my role, I also support with enquiries and conduct show rounds. I love to show the home off! I also ensure that all visitors are welcomed into the home and support our fabulous activities team.
We welcome local community groups to use our lounges for group sessions. Please pop in and have a chat with me, as I enjoy meeting people and I'm always proud to show people around Elm Bank. Every day is different here!
I am an avid reader of history, and this can build a rapport with many of our residents who reminisce about their lives and who also have a love for history. I share the same family values that I see from our residents' families when visiting their loved ones in the home, through the love of spending time with my family and grandchildren, which is very important to me. I have recently re-joined the Skittle team and enjoy social time.

Hello. I am Jill and I have lived at Elm Bank for many years so I know the staff really well. I enjoy attending all the activities and I always want to try the new things offered here. I help to put up decorations for special events throughout the year, to create a celebratory atmosphere. Staff and residents work together to make special days really enjoyable. I am a confident person and it is part of my role to liaise with the General Manager any residents who want to express their wishes but are unable to do so. I make a special point of welcoming all new residents to our home and helping them to settle in. I am very proud to be part of Elm Bank as we are all cared for like family.
