Members of staff get to know everyone individually so they can provide a high quality lifestyle and activities that each resident will enjoy. The home welcomes respite and long term residents.
Bedrooms are divided between a community for people with lower care needs, a separate supported living house and a dementia care community. Elm Bank also has a premium respite suite for short-stay guests. Each community has its own living and dining rooms, with private dining options for visiting families and special occasions. Furnishings and décor throughout the home are of a high standard and offer a homely and comfortable feel.
There is a secure private garden in the centre of the grounds, a patio area to the rear of the home and a Victorian summer house - all perfect for outdoor socialising.
Meals are prepared by trained chefs who offer a varied daily menu and tailor meals to individual preferences. Residents may eat in the restaurant-style dining room or in their own rooms if preferred. All dietary requirements are catered for.

Barchester Elm Bank Care Home is absolutely brilliant and I could not fault the respite care stay for my father. All the staff are kind and nothing is too much trouble. I was confident that my father was in a safe environment being looked after.

Our mum has been at Elm Bank for almost 6 years. She has always been cared for with empathy and compassion from all the staff on the second floor. They always keep us updated on any changes and are there when needed. The carers and their clinical lead and carer lead keep residents very happy and content. They go beyond the call of duty. The facilities are good and clean.

My mother-in-law (now aged 93) has been a resident at Elm Bank since April 2021. Throughout the whole of this time, my husband and I have always been extremely pleased with our choice of Care Home in the Kettering area. The staff are always very pleasant to both my mother-in-law, and us, and her needs are consistently and efficiently met. Where there has been an occasional 'emergency' (a fall or illness) we have always been contacted promptly. The rooms at Elm Bank are all attractive and well maintained and my mother-in-law is regularly encouraged to take part in activities.

Dad had a good Christmas at Elm Bank and settled into the New Year. We have attended family meetings and all heads of departments were in attendance and answered relevant questions satisfactorily. The current home manager is introducing more measures to include residents e.g. residents of the day and we are receiving emails detailing weekly events and activities for residents and their families. We feel more positive about the future of the home and hope the home manager continues in this positive way.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad to hear that Dad has settled in well with us. We are always looking at ways to improve our standards for the residents.

My mother is 104 years old. The staff are wonderful in the way they look after her. Having confidence in their work takes a big weight off my mind and I know that they will contact me if necessary.

I was warmly welcomed as always, by the receptionist who was helpful in reminding me to sign in and sign out. The reception area had a welcoming ambience and everyone (staff and residents) were friendly and welcoming. Everywhere was clean and homely and the lift was quiet and comfortable. The accommodation was beautifully maintained and for extra safety there were two alarm mats in case the resident falls. The carer serving drinks went the extra mile in pouring coffee and fresh water for us. Thank you!
Thank you for your 5* review of our home and staff. We nurture a whole-home approach to all we do at Elm Bank and it warms my heart to hear such wonderful comments. Thank you again, I will be sure to share your comments with all at Elm Bank.

A birthday party was put on, a complete surprise for my friend. Nothing was too much trouble, lovely birthday cake etc. The staff all sang to him. We were so pleased and happy that he really enjoyed his birthday.

Hello, my name is Rob and I'm the head of the maintenance team here at Elm Bank Care Home.
My role is to ensure that my team and I keep the Elm Bank home maintained to the highest standard, ensuring that the residents are kept safe and comfortable at all times.

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.
