A charming garden and lovely feel to this care home in the pretty village of Colyford.
The cheerful staff contribute so much to the day-to-day happiness of residents.
The health side relies on a key member of staff sho is core to my mother's experience and enjoyment. The cook is thoroughly appreciated
- food arrives hot, tasty and plates never sent back uneaten!

My mother has been a resident at Elmwood for nearly 6 years. She very much feels at home there and feels safe and secure. She enjoys good food and is able to do as she wishes. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and the staff look after her in a very caring way.

Reply from Philip Sadeghi, Director at Elmwood Residential Home

Thanks very much for your review! We are glad your mum is enjoying her time with us.

Mum was here from October to February 14th, when she died. It is a smallish home with a very big heart! Mum really didn't want to leave her beautiful flat, but the welcome and care she enjoyed were superb. ALL the staff are wonderful, kind and with a sense of humour - Mum so loved them and there was
wonderful warm mutual respect. (Mum might have been frail, but there were no flies on her!!). They are a LEGENDS and I know one lady was a huge support to Mum too. I couldn't have wished my mum to have ended her days anywhere else. XXX

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.360)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.360) out of 10 for Elmwood Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 4.971 for Elmwood Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.971

  • 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 4.389 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elmwood Residential Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.789

  • 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.
