We make regular visits to The Elms with a group of students to spend time with residents in their communal space; chatting, delivering a quiz, music etc. The staff at The Elms are always welcoming and helpful. The residents, we visit, are engaged and often tell us how well they are cared for at The
Elms.

Excellent care for my mother who suffers from dementia and is bed-ridden. The care staff are very committed and caring. They go beyond to care for her and are always helpful and supportive.

I have visiting The Elms for some years to lead the Wednesday afternoon Christian service. The transition to becoming part of Mission Care has been interesting to observe. I would commend all involved, both staff and residents for navigating that challenging process of integrating on influx of new residents
successfully. From a weekly observation, The Elms is a settled community with a much wider programme of activities than before. Even though our Wednesday service suffers from such competition, it is great to see such activities! Several of the staff go out of their way to plan specific events, knowing the capabilities of the residents. The staff are also welcoming to me and my dogs!

The Elms are tireless with the standard of care that is given, all the staff are exceptional, motivated, kind and a joy to be around, the home feels so homely and a super place to be, everyone is brought together and nothing is too difficult. I am allowed to pop in as and when I can, they could not
be more perfect.

Exceptional care home! Staff are compassionate, facilities are impeccable, and residents are treated like family. Highly recommend this place! I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional care they provide. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put us at ease. The staff's
dedication is truly commendable; they treat residents with dignity, respect, and genuine compassion.

My mother is well cared for and seems content, she is given a mixture of homecooked and processed prepared food. The staff seem to be caring and in good humour.

Reply from Georgia Raymond, Business Support Manager at The Elms Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review. Mission Care provides freshly prepared homemade meals daily. Our Catering Manager has also clarified that any residents on a puree diet are equally served the same freshly prepared meals. We hope this gives reassurance that all our meals are fresh and not processed.

The Elms underwent a transition in 2023 when it was taken over by Mission Care. Prior to that one manager had to go and a new one left very suddenly. Also a new care group entered from another care home. Things seem to have settled and residents seem settled and well cared for. I am a former trustee
and local priest and now visit a church member with advanced dementia. He is on end-of-life care and is cared for excellently.

The staff at the Elms are extremely caring and kind. They know my mother well and go to great lengths to support her effectively. Her room is comfortable, the food is excellent and she enjoys all the activities offered. Visitors are always welcomed and as a family we have great peace of mind knowing
that our mother is so settled.

The Elms Residential Care Home has a dedicated staff team who provide bespoke care and activities for their residents. This is a really friendly place where residents, carers and visitors are warmly welcomed and can get to know each other. This is not a home run by a large company that provides a glossy-looking
service. This is an independent establishment where people really are put before profit. Each resident is an individual with preferences and interests that are taken seriously. The mixed age range and needs also make it an active environment with lots of opportunities to engage. Before submitting this review I read it to my friend who lives here to check his point of view, “Yeah good” he said.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.629)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.629) out of 10 for The Elms Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.629 for The Elms Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.629

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Elms Residential Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
