My Mother was assessed by telephone for respite with a view for permanent residency. She had later stages of Vascular Dementia with some behavioural issues which the home was aware of. We were told they could cater for her needs. Within 5 days we were told by email that they could not meet her needs and she would have to leave without any explanation. We were happy with the care she received from the care assistants but the management and admin team were totally unprofessional and lacking in communication skills. So despite what it says on their website that they specialise in Dementia care, they cannot cater for the later stages as was the case with my mother.
I really appreciate you speaking positively with regard to our care assistants, and would be happy to talk through...
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. As the newly appointed home manager, I’d appreciate understanding your experience fully so that any required lessons can be learnt.I’d be pleased to hear from you whenever you’re ready to talk.

My auntie required respite care. The staff were all lovely. They treated my aunt with dignity, respect and were professional. My aunt required pureed food and the kitchen staff delivered her food as requested. I wish to thank the kitchen staff for their excellence. Sadly my auntie died after being in Elm Banks's care for 5 days. The staff at the time were professional and compassionate. Thoroughly recommend Elm Banks care delivery and all of the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this heartfelt review. I speak for the whole home when I say; "It was an honour to care for your aunt as part of the Elm Bank family". I will be sure to share your comments with the team. Remember, our door is always open should you ever need a cup of tea and chat.

My mother has been here for four to five years. I live in South Africa so can only visit occasionally, especially since Covid. We have been comforted by the fact that Mum has been cared for so exceptionally well. She has dementia but seems very happy and well. My father has now also entered the home at the age of 101 and is also happy here. Mum is 100 years old on the 18th of April and the home has been amazing in celebrating this wonderful event with the family. As they did with Dad's 100th birthday. We have nothing but praise for all the staff. A big thank you!
Thank you so much for your review and kind words. Birthdays at Elm Bank are always special occasions, but turning 100 is definitely and extra special event. It was an absolute pleasure for chef to create her cake, and we all had a wonderful time singing Happy Birthday and hosting the party. I will be sure to share your comments with the team.
The staff are very good and the food is excellent. A warm welcome from the receptionist every time. 2nd floor, bloom trail team leader is caring.

Thank you so much for the care, compassion and empathy you gave my relative up until the end of his life. He loved the home and the staff. You were also very supportive of my mum. You went above and beyond your duties. For their 25th wedding anniversary in November, you provided a private area for them to have a meal together with candles on the table and making them a cake. Christmas Day arrangements were made so mum was able to have Christmas dinner with my relative. My mum and I cannot thank you enough.

The care home felt high quality as it consistently reaches the goals a care home is required to meet. Staff were hardworking and compassionate. Facilities were at a high standard, and the scenery had a nature-themed feel. The activities were good, and I saw several people in the rooms where the activities were held. I would recommend this place as it achieves the criteria that a care home should and goes beyond.
Thank you very much for your review and kind words. We are pleased you are satisfied with the service here at Elm Bank, and the team appreciate your feedback.
I have no issues with the home and would recommend it to others.

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.
