Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident here for the past year, and the difference in her is truly phenomenal. From the moment she arrived, the team welcomed her with warmth, kindness and genuine compassion. The level of care she receives every single day, has made such a positive impact on her wellbeing and happiness. The staff treat residents with real dignity and respect, taking time to understand each person individually. Knowing mum is in a safe, supported, happy and surrounded by such dedicated people means the world to our family.

Since Nan moved into Elm Lodge in November, life for her has been wonderful for her. As family, we have been delighted to see her settle so well, with so many activities going on day to day, the care, companionship and company she receives from staff and residents - we are so happy to see such an improvement to quality of life and her happiness. Visiting Nan at Elm Lodge is such a pleasure and brings us much joy.

Review from Janet R (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum was welcomed to Elm Lodge in such a warm and loving way - like you would greet a friend of the family or a relation. She was taken well care of in her first 24 hours, and when the 2nd evening she called me in distress, the staff dealt with her compassionately. A great start to what is the next chapter in my mum's life.

Review from John H (Resident / Service User) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

4-star hotel quality, facilities include hairdresser, small cinema, several lounges, also a tea and coffee and snack lounge. All areas are spotlessly clean, good choice of food, including a large English breakfast. Lunch and dinner always started with a tasty home made soups. A two-choice menu for lunch and dinner, with other options available. Nothing ever too much trouble for management and staff in all areas. All friendly, patient and helpful and all calls answered promptly. Large rooms for residents with good ensuite facilities, including wet room.

Review from Jonathan J (Son of Resident) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Elm Lodge team are superstars and constantly go above and beyond to care for my Mum. They recently pulled out all the stops so that she could attend my Brother's wedding. We were therefore incredibly lucky to have her there and she starred in all of the photos, which is incredible as she's wheelchair-bound and doesn't speak very often now due to her Alzheimer's. She was smiling all day, which is the best possible outcome. I just want to say a huge thank you, to all the staff, for your continued, unwavering care. Mum is a better person for being where she is. I cannot rate Elm Lodge highly enough - you don't need to look anywhere else if you're on the journey to find care for your loved one.

Review from R F (Wife of Resident) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have visited many care homes with, and for, family and friends, over many years. The Lodge has proved to provide all that we required for my husband... a calm environment, genuine warmth between residents and carers, many opportunities for residents to be independent and make their own decisions, ie - free movement inside/outside the building, choice of activities each day, choice of all meals each day, and a choice to join 'day out' trips. Above all this, the care all residents receive every day is outstanding!!

Review from Caroline J (Guardian of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the moment we first visited Elm Lodge, we have been extremely impressed with the quality, standards and care provide by all the management and staff. We feel Elm Lodge reflects the services within a five star hotel. Our resident friend is happier, healthier, eating much better and totally content with 'her new home'. She has an enthusiastic zest for life which prior to moving to Elm Lodge, she had lost completely. We cannot thank all the staff for all they have done in achieving this. We visit frequently and are always made to feel extremely welcome with delicious beverages and cakes always available for residents and their guests. We cannot praise the Elm Lodge Management and staff enough for their professionalism, experience, dedication and kindness.

Elm Lodge is a lovely residential care home in beautiful grounds. I cannot praise the staff enough, they are kind, caring, attentive and always ready to help whenever they can. My husband enjoys the trips out and the entertainment that is brought in. Friends and relatives are always welcomed and are able to meet up with the resident in very pleasant lounges.

Review from John B (Son of Resident) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had become a little dissatisfied with the care home my 95 year old mum was in so when we saw Elm Lodge was opening, we booked a visit. We were very impressed with everything; the location; the facilities; and the staff. We felt even more positive after subsequent visits and my mum's visit and assessment so we decided to move her to Elm Lodge. It could not have gone better. From the welcome pack the home provided to the staff welcoming mum we felt confident we had made the right decision. We have seen a marked improvement in my mother. Whilst before the move she preferred to sit in her room now she wants to socialise and loves going out. Much of this is down to the staff, all of whom are very caring, friendly and supportive. The home have arranged for mum Mum gets her hair done weekly, the fees of which are covered by the monthly fee. The facilities are superb and mum has enjoyed use of the spa bath.
