My mother is clean and her hair is always combed and clipped back nicely.
When my mother had a fall she was appropriately cared for whilst awaiting the paramedics and on her return from hospital. Thank you.
It was lovely to visit the café and to see Mum welcomed there by a member of staff who not only remembered her name, but how she liked her coffee.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you feel welcome during your visits and that your mother is receiving the attentive care she deserves. It is reassuring to know that she is well looked after, from her personal grooming to the support she received after her...
My mother spent 5 years in the care of the staff at Elwood Place, Ifield Park, Crawley.
During her long stay the staff worked tirelessly to help her with those aspects of her life that she needed assistance with. In addition to her physical needs, time was spent ensuring that she was mentally stimulated through various activities and the carers psyience and general interaction. As her dementia worsened, she needed more time and care which was always given with empathy, understanding and patience.
The atmosphere of the home was that of 'a family'and it was of great comfort to us as her immediately family that we could relax in the knowledge that she was professionaly cared for.

I am very pleased with all staff in Ellwood especially permanent Senior Carer who know residents very well and Deputy Manager who been here for a year.

Lady Senior carer and Man Deputy manager run that place i will say to outstanding standard of care. My mum wasn't long there but long enough to see warmness, calmness, compassion and homely atmosphere. When mum was on EOL they always fins time to come to her room and spend time with her even if was so busy they always been there with us, support my mum emotionally but also myself and my sister, we build so good relationship with staff but especially with Senior carer and deputy manager, as those 2 you will see them all the time and they are very easy to talk and give correct advice.

There is a happy atmosphere in Elwood. I am always made welcome by the carers. I have been visiting for 5 years. The relationship between the carers and the residents is very good, warm, helpful and affectionate.
I have the freedom to visit Mum at any time or to phone and get an update about her at any time.
I am very happy with delegating my mum's care to Ellwood Place.
My mum has been in Ellwood for around 3 years. I was really worried about my mum going into a care home but I didn't need to worry. The overall experience has been really positive. The home is like a big family. The staff show exceptional kindness and are very patient and caring. The residents are always involved in some sort of activity. The activity staff are exceptional. All the staff are always friendly and cheerful despite what must be a very difficult job.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we really appreciate it. It is such an anxious time when loved ones need the 24/7 care of a home and the decision has to be made. We try to provide a relaxed and comfortable transition from their home to ours. We believe in having fun and our activities team are exceptional! Thank you.
