My dad was only in the home for a few days but he was well cared for. Everyone was so nice and kind, especially the new manager. My dad was treated with dignity, and kindness and his needs were met from admission to the time he passed.

My husband has been at the nursing home for seven weeks and in that time he has been shown nothing but kindness and dignity. Everybody has been wonderful to him. Also, everybody has been wonderful to me too.

My father was admitted to this came home just over 2 years ago, after visiting many care homes this one was the best for our father. Since my father has been here he has been well looked after, the staff are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. In the future, I would be happy to
recommend Elmwood House to family and friends.

My mother-in-law came in for respite after a new hip. The care she received in the two weeks she stayed here was second to none. The food was good, the carers really did care and the home was very comfortable. She came home in good health without the need for home care. My mum-in-law is 92 and had gone
she gone home directly from hospital it could easily have been a different story.

I visited the home on Saturday and was impressed with the building work going on. I usually visit my friend once a month and I have seen lots of changes in the decor. I was particularly impressed with the activities programme and my friend was telling me she had been to the market shopping and she had
also been gardening. Lots of things going on. It's a much-improved home.

My father has been a resident for nearly a month and the care he has received has been wonderful. All of the staff are professional and friendly. When medication is requested it is given in a short period of time.
All of my questions have been answered by the nurses.
Once the renovations are complete,
the home will be outstanding.

I cannot say how thankful I am to the staff and carers at Elmwood House. My father spent his last two weeks here. Everyone was wonderful. They made his last time on earth pain-free, with their love and care. I understand this is their job but the love and care were so genuine, I could not have done
more myself.

Both parents have been very happy living in Elmwood House. They are given excellent care by the staff at all times. Staff are friendly and caring and liaise well with the family as the need arises.
The rooms are comfortable and are now in the process of being refurbished which will bring them up to
even higher standards.

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.
