I'm very happy with the care my Dad receives at Elmwood House. All his needs are being met by the caring staff. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and there is a lovely atmosphere within the home. There are plenty of well being activities for the residents to take part in, although my Dad's condition
limits his participation in some of these. There are also regular social get togethers for residents, staff and relatives, often with entertainment, which are enjoyed by everyone.

Elmwood House is a lovely care home, set in beautiful grounds which has access to numerous gardens and a fabulous large pond. The home is beautifully decorated. My mum's room is large and spacious. However, most days my mum resides in the smaller of three lounges listening to her music which she thoroughly
enjoys. The wellbeing lady is amazing who takes time to chat and sing with mum making her feel very special. There's arts and crafts and singers who come into the home to entertain. We have a hairdresser and podiatrist who also come in regularly. All of the staff are lovely and show my mum dignity and respect and are always there for her when she is feeling low to reassure her. My mum is totally dependent on the staff and they are able to meet my mum's needs and always keep me informed of anything. I would highly recommend Elmwood Care Home to anyone who has a family member or friend who needs either respite care or to move in permanently. I wouldn't want my mum anywhere else.

My mother-in-law was only at Elmwood House for a brief time before passing away. However, it was long enough for us to acknowledge how wonderful and caring every member of staff was to her and us as a family. The newly renovated home is cosy and comfortable and every aspect of the facilities encourages
a home-from-home atmosphere. We cannot praise the staff enough for the care and respect along with hug hugs for us at the end. Many thanks to the family at Elmwood.

My dad is very happy here and has lots of encouragement from the staff, he really enjoys the activities and singalongs. His room is a little small and not much room to put the things he wants around him. The staff are brilliant, very helpful in sorting things out as he has a bad condition and as I work
full time (previously his full-time carer) it's a huge relief knowing he will always be looked after if I am on holiday or a night out.

As a family, we were very happy with the care my grandad received. He said to us, on many occasions, how nice everyone was. We know he felt safe and cared for. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. The home felt very clean, inviting and warm and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. We always
felt that Grandad was in good hands, which was a huge relief for us knowing he was safe 24/7. I have already recommended Elmwood House Care Home to other family and friends.

The care my dad has received has been of a very good standard. The staff are caring and thoughtful, one particular young man has shown Dad very genuine concern and commitment to all his needs which we found commendable for such a young man.

We have been very pleased with how our mother was looked after and treated with respect. We were always contacted regarding our mother, how she was and how she was going; it was really good to be kept in touch. When visiting Mum, she always looked clean and well-dressed. Thanks, everyone, very much

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Elmwood House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.875 for Elmwood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 Elmwood House Care Home is based on 12 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 12 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.
