My aunt was a resident; on the 10th February she celebrated her 100th birthday in the home, the home was so welcoming, staff went above and beyond to make her day special; sadly she has since passed away but the memory of day was made so very special for all who attended.

I visited my friend recently and I had a nice welcome from all staff very impressed with the place. The manager spent time to take me around. My friend mentioned how he is engaged in activities, socialising with other residents and outings. My very good friend said he is well looked after and enjoys
the varieties of meals. I highly recommend the home to anybody wishing a safe place to be looked after.

Best care home in town, I visited my friend who now lives permanently in New Elmcroft care home. I was so happy for him and felt so overwhelmed seeing him well looked after by professional carers and the Manager is so lovely and caring, she is even a chef on weekends, hats off to the team at New Elmcroft.
I highly recommend this home for respite or for a long stay, you will never be disappointed, the environment and staff are so welcoming. Thank you so much for all your help to the community.

The home seems to keep the usual excellent record. We do stay a long time when we visit and can see how it is run efficiently with no rushing and the staff always give a lovely welcome and always say hello. I have no worries about my husband being in New Elmcroft. As I always say, it comes from the
manager and the staff who need a huge appraisal for all their hard work.

The management, resident carers and nurses are all kind to me and nothing is too much trouble for them, should I need help. I would highly recommend New Elmcroft and enjoy my short stays there.

We found all the staff to be caring and professional at all times and couldn't ask for a better placement for my mother's end of life care. And for us as visitors, we were always made to feel welcome.

Second to none service throughout. All of the staff have a very positive attitude and only have the best interests of the residents at heart. Will constantly go above and beyond. I know my father is in the very best of hands. Would thoroughly recommend.

I was very impressed with the care and diligence given to my mother-in-law. I felt she was looked after and was allowed her dignity. I also felt many attempts (some successful) were made to involve and engage her. The atmosphere in the home was always upbeat and positive and matters were dealt with
promptly and discreetly. Thank you.

My sister has been at here at Elmcroft since the end of October 2018, and so far I'm very pleased how she is treated, she is happy there and enjoys the daily crafts and afternoon entertainment. I try to spend time in the day area with the others so I can meet her new friends. The food what I've seen
has looked lovely. The place is clean and bright.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.423)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.423) out of 10 for New Elmcroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.423 for New Elmcroft is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.423

  • 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 New Elmcroft is based on 17 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Service Manager

Joined: 2021

Hello! My name is Tiny. I joined Shaw healthcare in March 2021. I have enjoyed sharing both happy and sad moments with our service users, their families and my colleagues. I have been privileged to be part of the Shaw Family as we strive to ensure all our service users lead a meaningful and fulfilled life right up to the end.

Estelle

Estelle Ramet

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2008

Hello and welcome to Elmcroft! My name is Estelle and I am the deputy manager here. I started working in healthcare whilst completing my Psychology master’s degree at Sussex University back in 1995. At that time I was a support worker in a residential dementia unit. My passion for assisting people living with dementia grew from there. Over time I progressed to team Leader, and then resource manager within Brighton and Hove Council. In 2008, before Elmcroft was even opened, I successfully interviewed for a team leader role. I was one of the very first recruits and I have worked in Elmcroft since day one and what a brilliant journey it has been! I worked as a team leader until 2015 when I became the deputy manager.


I derive such joy from making each day special for the people under my care. I love that each day is different and brings new exciting opportunities. The prospect of meeting new people, and getting to know them makes every day special. I have enjoyed supporting staff growth and development. I am passionate about training and feel privileged as I am the named dementia trainer in Elmcroft. My background in psychology enables me to support families faced with the difficult decision of leaving their loved ones in a care home. It is also beneficial to staff in my capacity as a mental health first aider in Elmcroft.
