Enjoying my stay here at Elm House. I enjoy the activities and the meals.
I like that I can still have a little drink of alcohol of an evening. I like the fact that if I need assistance then someone is on board to help.

Overall Experience
My father could not have been in a better place to end his days. The care and attention he was given by all members of staff was the best possible.
He got a lot of pleasure from his stay, plus the staff worked above and beyond the norm during his last few days.

This is such a nice atmosphere and staff chat to visitors and residents in a very respectful way. The place is very clean but without being clinical. There are many homely touches. Above all else, it does not smell!
I love the idea of the resident dog who was also friendly.

My mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2018 and for over a year, she continued living in her own flat, confused but safe. However, when she was found wandering a couple of times, her safety could no longer be guaranteed and so we started looking round for a care home. As many people would testify, it is a very difficult time and finding a suitable place that can look after your loved one is not an easy decision to make. However, on my first visit to Elm House, the first thing I noticed was the way the staff seemed to genuinely care for the residents. Now that Mum is here, I am so glad that my first impressions have proven to be right. She is still confused but appears very content. She actually thinks that she is in a lovely hotel. My Mum has always taken great pride in her appearance and whenever I visit her, she is always dressed very smartly and nicely made up. Equally importantly, from my perspective, she is safe and that's a huge load off my mind.
