Elm Lodge Care Home is an outstanding care home, I moved my elderly mother from a care home that was part of a large group to Elm Lodge, and find that its very luxurious, with a very relaxed atmosphere, the staff are excellent , and you can see they really care for the residents, my mother tells me the food is very good. She now gets regular activities, and seems a lot happier.
I would highly recommend it.

I came here at very short notice when my wife died unexpectedly and I needed respite. Since I arrived, I have been extremely well looked after and I cannot praise the management and staff highly enough. I shall ask to come back here in a couple of years when I need more care/help. I hope a place can be found. Thank you all very much.
