Nestled in the 'Rose of the Shires', Northamptonshire, Elm Bank Care Home is a spacious and inviting residence in Kettering with great access to local amenities.

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.
A dedicated Activities Coordinator plans a busy programme of daily events for residents to take part in if they wish. Residents also help to plan activities, outings and entertainment that they will enjoy, to make sure there is something for everyone.

I contacted Elm Bank in regards to respite (post-op) care and was warmly welcomed by the Customer Liaison Assistant and her team. From the moment I arrived the staff have been overwhelming in terms of care, attention as well as food, drink and basics. I have spent time with many of the residents, and all have nothing but praise for the staff in what is a physically and emotionally challenging role. Thank you so much for getting me back on my feet. I will never forget your kindness and support.

Elm Bank Care Home, you are fantastic. From the reception staff to the Bluebell staff and the maintenance crew. We moved my mother and father-in-law in there and only gave the staff 24-hour notice. The manager and her excellent staff were beyond to ensure this happened. Turning one bedroom into a lovely lounge. This has made their transition into moving into full-time care so much easier. We cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you, Elm Bank.
Thank you very much for your amazing review! We are so pleased that we are caring for your mother and father-in-law; thank you once again.

My mother stayed in respite care for 6 weeks at Elm Bank, and from the moment she arrived, she was looked after properly by the whole team. She enjoyed the activities, especially the singing. The two main carers for my mum were very caring and kind and treated my mum with dignity; they were patient and really go to know her. My mum couldn't wish for a better care home, and I'm hoping she will return very soon.
Thank you very much for your kind review and words; it was a pleasure to provide care for your mother. The team are very grateful for the review.

The care given is also good, however; there are odd times when it can slip when room cleanliness is lacking, and clothes go missing giving the impression that they are understaffed.

Thank you, Barchester Elm Bank Care Home. You have been brilliant these last few days. My father was seriously ill in hospital, and you welcomed my mother to your home and have supported her and the rest of our family, including Dad, so well. You have been there for us at a difficult time, and it means a lot.
Thank you very much for your kind words and positive feedback, which I will pass on to all the staff who support your family. It is a pleasure to help whenever you need it.

His new life in the home was a happy one and as you would have wanted it for your loved one. Once again thank you to Elm Bank for giving my father the best care during his 96,97 and 98 years of his life.
Thank you very much for such a touching review, thank you for allowing us to care for your father.

Our review was very reassuring, helpful and informative. My dad's care plan was discussed in detail e.g. his medication, weight, food and drink intake, movement/mobility difficulties, time spent in his room/lounge/restaurant, etc. Any questions/concerns we, (my husband and I) have, were answered...
Our review was very reassuring, helpful and informative. My dad's care plan was discussed in detail e.g. his medication, weight, food and drink intake, movement/mobility difficulties, time spent in his room/lounge/restaurant, etc. Any questions/concerns we, (my husband and I) have, were answered and a few missing items from his room were noted. We left the review feeling positive and happy about the care my dad is receiving. Just to explain when I am concerned about the value for money box. Like many unfortunate "old" people who suffer from dementia, we had to sell my dad's home in order to pay for his monthly bill of £4,842.42 (November 2021). We have been informed by Barchester that this could increase by 9%. We understand that costs have increased, but as much as we want my dad to live a long life (he is 94 now), the money will not last forever! I hope you understand our concerns.
Thank you very much for your review; with regards to the finances, please contact our team ElmBank@barchester.com to discuss if you wish.
My mother has lived at Elm Bank for four years and has always been well looked after. Since new management the increase in quality has been fantastic. I am so pleased about the home and staff. Keep up the great work.

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. Before joining the Barchester team, I worked in the motor trade as an after-sales manager. In my spare time, I like to go hill climbing, holidaying in my caravan with my family and riding my motorbike.

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, my name is Amanda and I'm the Non-Clinical Head of Care here at Elm Bank. I joined the team in 2018 as a Care Assistant in our residential community for people with lower support needs before progressing to Team Leader in our Daisy Lane Community for those living with dementia.

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.
