Overall Experience

A lovely , small care home where dad is very happy and settled. His daily trips out to the shop and to the duck pond are lovely to see. The monthly newsletter is so detailed and is one of the reasons why we chose this care home for him. It is always a hard decision to put a loved one into a care home,

but we feel reassured with the excellent communication that he is in the right place. Thank you to all the amazing staff at Elmfield.

Reply from Niccii Gillett, Maanger at Elmfield House Care Home

Thank you for highlighting our excellent communication with loved ones to ensure you are fully informed of dad's progress. Thank you also for your kind words about the staff.

Overall Experience

After quite an extensive review of suitable care homes in the area, we came across Elmfield House Care Home through a personal recommendation. We chose Elmfield to look after my elderly aunt after we had met the manager and seen the facilities.
Elmfield's premises are quite small and it certainly

wouldn't be described as a luxury establishment. However, the smaller premises provide a much more intimate feel - more like a home than a hotel - and the care provided was really first-class. We saw that staff developed close relationships with residents and that this was possible because there didn't seem to be a constant turnover of agency staff that was evident elsewhere.
When we visited, my aunt always appeared well-turned out and cared for. For her part, she seemed happy, content, personally cared for and safe - everything we were looking for. The general ethos of Elmfield stems from the leadership and influence of the manager; residents and relations alike have much to be grateful to her for.

Reply from Niccii Gillett, Manager at Elmfield House Care Home

Thank you, Francis, for your glowing endorsement of Elmfield House. We pride ourselves on the intimate feel that is fostered from being a small care home compared to the other larger care groups. Providing first-class care is an integral part of what makes us special and thank you for acknowledging our care delivery to your aunt. Long-standing staff and no use of agency is also something that makes us special and different to the other local, larger care homes. Your aunt was a delight to have at Elmfield and please do pop in if you are ever passing by. Best wishes from us all at Elmfield.

Overall Experience

A very clean well well-run establishment staff and manager do everything and more to care for all residents. The food is varied and of excellent quality. The menu changes daily to facilitate all dietary requirements and residents' needs. When enquiring the manager was more than helpful, and supplied

me with all the information I required, all answers were truthful and I was more than impressed.

Since my grandma has come to Enfield she has been in excellent spirits and always tells us how happy she is to be here. We can see this in how bright she is and engaged, obviously having a great relationship with the staff who obviously care very much about her to take such good care of her. Visiting
