I feel very confident that Dad is receiving the best possible care. I do not worry about his needs being met. The staff are approachable and friendly and available. I feel very comfortable visiting the home and welcomed to be there. I am pleased with the relationships the staff have formed with Dad,
it feels like leaving him with family. Any concerns we have about Dad's condition are dealt with immediately. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Elms to others.

Our uncle came to The Elms Care Home with a terminal diagnosis. We were stressed and worried as he had been in a nearby residential home, where the care was far from ideal.
The Elms was a breath of fresh air.
Two staff members in particular were so caring and experienced. They transformed the experience
not just our uncle, but of us too.
We are so grateful. We know our uncle was comfortable and loved until he died in November.

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt feedback. We are truly sorry for your loss but deeply honoured to have been able to provide comfort and care to your uncle during such a difficult time. Your kind words mean so much to our team, especially to the staff members you mentioned, who will be touched to hear how much their support meant to you and your family. We're grateful to have been a part of your uncle's journey and are here for you if you need anything.

I cannot be happier with the care and attention my mother is receiving at The Elms. Every single member of staff is just wonderful and can't do enough. She has a beautiful room which is kept exceptionally clean, and the food is excellent - no complaints from her on the food! She hasn't really been able
to participate in activities due to mobility issues, but perhaps with a bit of peruasion (she's very set in her ways!). A huge thank you to everyone at The Elms.

Reply from Jackie Brook, Care Relationships at The Elms Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful feedback about The Elms Care Home. We're delighted to hear that your mother is happy and comfortable here, and it's lovely to know she's enjoying the food! Our team takes great pride in making sure each resident receives the best care possible, and we're so glad that's been your experience. We understand how challenging mobility issues can be, but we'll do our best to gently encourage her to try some activities that suit her preferences-there's always something for everyone, and we'd love for her to feel even more involved. Thank you again for your lovely comments, and please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.

The care my husband receives continues to be excellent. He participates in all the activities/entertainment offered and enjoys a really good rapport with all the staff. Everyone I have contact with at The Elms is friendly, supportive and caring. The staff are genuinely fond of the residents and handle
any challenging situations arising due to dementia, efficiently, compassionately, with good humour and seemingly endless patience.

A wonderful team gave my dad the best care we could have wished for in his short stay at The Elms. He was very well cared for by a great team and cannot fault anything with this outstanding setting.
He was treated with dignity and respect and he passed away peacefully in a setting which he would have

Thank you so much to each and every one of you who impacted so much in his final days.

My father came to The Elms on 25th November, and I couldn’t be happier. He has settled in so well and is being beautifully looked after. I can’t rate the staff highly enough, they always have time for you and are so professional and friendly. The management is excellent, and all the staff seem so happy.
The food is very good, and the home is spotlessly clean at all times. My dad's mobility has improved so much as he is encouraged to move around, as previously, he spent a lot of time sleeping during the day. Every time I visit, he is well-dressed, clean and shaved. I have no complaints whatsoever, and I am certainly glad I made the move to The Elms.

Dad went into The Elms in February this year following a hospital stay and has received nothing but the best care in there. The staff have been incredible with him, trying to include him in activities and to socialise with other residents. Even more so when his wife passed away soon after, also in The
Elms for a short time. As his dementia is gradually worsening, he can be quite stubborn/aggressive but the carers are still patient with him and keep to find his smile!

My mum has recently moved into The Elms and loves the care that the staff give her she had gone downhill in her previous care home and we weren’t happy so decided to move her here and she is now much happier and looking a lot healthier than she has done for a while. The staff are doing an amazing job

Staff are friendly and kind and try to resolve any problem to the best of their ability within a good timeline. Feel staff should check residents' draws and wardrobes at least once a week to ensure things like "old bread/food" are not put in draws by residents with dementia. This has happened on occasion
when we haven't been able to visit and sort out the facilities in the room to keep it tidy and clean.

The Elms Care Home is taking care of my brother-in-law. He has numerous health problems and his wife is unable to cope with them, so he is now a resident at this excellent care home.
On our first visit, we were impressed that parking was easy. Our reception was friendly and very helpful and we were
taken to our relative's room and introduced.
The room was pleasant with a window giving a view over the fields behind the property. It was well-equipped and included a television.
The resident hairdresser popped in for a brief chat with our brother-in-law and we found she had recently given him a haircut.
On a second visit, our view was confirmed that this is a very well-run establishment with a high standard of care and cleanliness. Our relative said the food was good and he enjoyed choosing from the menu.
All the staff we met seemed very competent and friendly.
My wife and I believe this is a first-class care home and we would recommend it to anyone looking to place a relative in care.

During the last two months, there has been a change in unit managers; there are now two, and they are joint unit managers who are approachable, cheerful and very welcoming. The atmosphere in the unit is much more friendly, and the staff are welcoming. We know when we have queries or concerns, we can
go the either of them, and these are acted on promptly and professionally, and nothing ever seems too much. As a family, we are extremely happy with the unit managers and staff, and long may it continue.

Following a fall at home in January of this year, and a transfer from Lincoln hospital to Louth, in order to receive the full-time care she needed, Mum moved into the Elms in February. She moved initially onto Larchwood. I live some 120 miles away, but visited as often as I was able to and my sister,
along with Mum's carer, a good friend, visited regularly. Our impressions were of a team of caring, loving professionals who always made time to talk and help if needed. They made such a fuss of Mum, she was called a beautiful lady on many occasions. Unfortunately in recent weeks, Mum's health deteriorated and she was moved to Woodlands for palliative care and again the staff were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and they really made her comfortable and took good care of her until she sadly passed away last week. Staff from downstairs came to visit her which was over and beyond what they needed to do. We appreciate everything they did for Mum and cannot rate them highly enough.

My father was admitted to The Elms under the end-of-life care process, and remained there until July when he passed away. We found the staff to be incredibly dedicated, and hardworking. My Mother and I visited every day and got to know many members of the staff, who treated us brilliantly. We came to
consider them friends by the end. The effort they put in was superb, and they did all they could to keep my Dad comfortable. We were made welcome at any time of day or night, and our needs were also catered for. It was a traumatic time, and without such amazing staff, I don't think we would have coped. I can't thank everyone enough.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.595)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.595) out of 10 for The Elms Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.723 for The Elms Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.723

  • 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 4.872 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Elms Care Home is based on 15 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.872

  • 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.
