My mum moved into Elmbank just before Christmas 2017 after her health took a turn for the worse. She changed from being a very independent lady to a very frail lady who needed help with day to day activities almost overnight.
This came as a big shock to both myself and her.
The staff did everything
they possibly could to make this transition as smooth as possible for both of us.
The manager, carers, cleaners, housekeeping staff have all treated my mum with care, compassion and patience. They have even helped her to regain her sense of humour and I can't thank them enough!

My mother moved into the home in December 2017 and settled into the home very quickly. All the staff and management have been very caring and supportive towards my mam and I saw an instant improvement in her mobility and anxiety issues.
Mam enjoys the friendly staff and residents activities, the food
and in general terms feels "at home".

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Mum (Alzheimer’s) has been in Elm Bank for a year. Mum has mostly been happy & free from pain & anxiety in the past year – this is our priority.


It’s a fine line between talking with residents at the right level for each individual & coming across as condescending. Although all the residents on Mum’s

floor have Dementia, they are still individuals with different needs of communication & support. Caring is very staff intensive. More staff would be good, but fees would need to increase to support this.


Two staff members, in particular, deserve singling out for their aptitude & hard work in communicating with the residents as individuals, adjusting their techniques to suit each of the residents.


We are made welcome by the staff on our frequent visits, with tea & biscuits. We (5 of us) even had Christmas Day lunch with Mum in her room – all organised by the staff.


We have nothing but admiration for Mum’s carers at Elm Bank. Many thanks for all your hard work - very much appreciated.

Elm Bank Care Home is an attractive building in a lovely situation overlooking the river Tyne and Valley. It has a lovely residents lounge and good sized well-appointed rooms to which residents are able to bring pictures and belongings. Arranged on three floors means the residents are spread out and
not overwhelmed by numbers of other people. The staff always offer a warm welcome and are cheerful, caring, kind, competent, pleasant and ever helpful. It is kept extremely clean, neat and tidy. As a non-resident, I have rated Elm Bank good though it probably is excellent but I can't ascertain certain aspects unless I was a resident, which I would happily be. Many thanks to the lovely staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

Grandma has been in this care home for about a month. Very, very understaffed for the number of residents in there, sometimes I don’t even see a carer. The cleanliness is poor, the smell of urine makes me wretch I had to leave once, this seems to only be on the middle floor?
The “activities” they do
are a joke I feel like my grandma is sat in her bedroom staring at 4 walls. I went on a night once and there wasn’t a sheet on the bed, a friend went the other day after dinner there was no sheet or duvet the housekeeper came said they didn’t have time to make it as they are understaffed?
The food; I have been at tea times and all it seems to be is soup and a sandwich, once I saw cheap chicken nuggets and burgers what sort of good nutrition is that? Every time I visit there is one particular woman shouting, pleading for help, it seems to take a long time for a carer to wander through. However, I do appreciate the “care” my grandma does get. There is one member of staff that is the most caring there.

My mother has now passed away, but her time at this care home was happy, settled and well managed. She had a good relationship with staff and other residents. She always commented on how much she enjoyed the food. She regularly told visitors how much she liked it there. She regularly joined in with
activities and quickly became part of the home. It was always a pleasure to visit her in the home.

My brother was admitted after being discharged from hospital and at that stage not able to look after himself. The friendly staff at the care home took good care of him, allowing him to go out every day and encouraging him to mix with other residents. Their help was tremendous and we are so grateful
to them to help guide my brother so that he is now in sheltered accommodation.

My husband attends Elm Bank as a day guest and I find the staff very flexible about the days he attends - they are always kind, attentive and have made him very welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.433)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.433) out of 10 for Elm Bank Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.433 for Elm Bank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.433

  • 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 Elm Bank Care Home is based on 10 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 10 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.
