My mum's been at the residential home since December. From day one Mum has settled in very well. She enjoys the huge range of daily activities on offer, the food always looks lovely and full of variety and always homemade. Mum enjoys her cake and coffee in the afternoons a real treat. The home is impeccably clean, the staff are always friendly and nothing is ever too much for them, even at busy times. The social media updates are an excellent way of keeping not only myself updated but the whole family, seeing varies photographs of what mum has been up too. Always kept informed of any issues if any including medical. All round excellent service.

My mother is a resident of The Elms. She has dementia and a number of medical conditions, which make caring for her demanding, and sometimes frustrating. The staff at The Elms are outstanding in caring for her, their approach to caring for dementia residents has settled my mother down, she is less frustrated and I feel that they really know her, her needs and her personality. The home is clean, the staff really engage with the residents. I know this takes a lot of work and care. She genuinely seems happy here. There is a huge range of activities for the residents, the food looks great and I really appreciate the social media updates. The staff never appear stressed or overburdened, and clearly genuinely care for the residents. We are kept informed of any updates, are free to visit any time and are always made to feel welcome. This is how a care home should be.

The Elms is a beautifully run residential care home that looked after my dear mum in the closing years of what was a very busy and active life. The staff are delightful courteous and helpful and go the extra mile to assist. It's a beautiful setting affording far-reaching country views from many of the rooms, a big sun terrace, and masses of recreational space for the residents to mingle. The ambience is good and the place is always spotless and a home from home for all its residents. I never worry about Mum being there because I know she is well cared for and happy. The staff are a great crowd who work well together and I never feel anyone is unapproachable. There is a lovely garden for everyone to enjoy in the better weather filled with a variety of shrubs, and bedding plants, tables and chairs are provided so in the better weather everyone who is able can fully enjoy the facilities.

My mum moved into The Elms at a very emotional time for our family. All the staff have just been the best support for mum and their care and love for mum cannot be faulted. The room is clean and homely and the rest of the public rooms are so welcoming. Mum is thriving on the food and the exercises and activities which happen every day look stimulating and fun. Mum loves the singing and animal visits best. We can visit at any time and nothing is too much trouble. Mum always looks clean and well cared for. I would highly recommend The Elms.

Since arriving at The Elms my brother-in-law has received great care. The staff and management have looked after him, and he's wanted for nothing. The daily activities, food, and his one-to-one care have been lovely. If your loved ones need professional care then I would not hesitate in recommending The Elms.

We moved our brother down from London and we were worried about how he would settle in from the day he got here to now none of us have had any regrets. They are caring and helpful and my brother enjoys the daily activities, the company and the functions they put on that include the family. Glad we chose The Elms, the views in the garden are just so beautiful.

My brother lives at The Elms, his care is exceptional. Warm and caring staff, especially the Manager. All his needs are met. The food is excellent. The staff take time to do one-on-ones with him. They have so much patience considering his mental state. Although so upsetting to see him in such need, so comforting to know he has the best care.

My husband has been a resident for 20 months and his care is excellent, he is always clean and his food is extremely good. The staff administer his meds on time which is important with Parkinson's and his catheter care is dealt with with dignity and they keep infections at bay. The angels who look after him are 5 stars, from the nurses, kitchen staff, cleaner and maintenance gentlemen they all make me feel cared for as well. The home is spotlessly clean and the garden is delightful. I am so pleased we are able to have the services of The Elms.

My mother moved to The Elms following a stroke and a diagnosis of dementia just before Christmas 2023 and they couldn't have been more welcoming. All the staff have made a real fuss of Mum and involved her in the group activities so she settled in really quickly. I know she is really happy at The Elms because she suggests friends and other members of the family should move in.

My mother has been a resident at The Elms since Christmas 2023. It is a delightful place being all on one floor surrounded by beautiful, well-maintained grounds. The laminate floors throughout and slopes instead of steps mean my mother can use her walking aid. She has a very pleasant light room with an ensuite. The food is very nice. I've been invited to lunch. Mum takes part in all sorts of organised activities with other residents which she enjoys. The staff are wonderful kind good fun cheerful endlessly patient professional and caring. They take care to help Mum with her clothes, hair, nails and makeup which is very important to her. They monitor her health and medication and I know that if I have any concerns that the home manager will deal with them quickly efficiently and professionally. I could not be happier with the care my mother receives at The Elms and she also realises how well she is looked after.

I would like to commend The Elms Residential Home (Yeovil) where my mother, who is 100 years of age, is living. She has been in their care for around eight months now and I have found all the care staff to be very supportive and the home to be extremely well run. I have no hesitation in recommending The Elms.

I had to look for a care home for my husband who had recently had a major stroke. I was recommended The Elms by several people. It has lived up to it's reputation. The staff are lovely and friendly, the home has the feel of a comfortable, welcoming place to live.

Found The Elms very friendly and caring. Small enough for each user to be treated as an individual whose needs are recognised in a supportive manner. Treated with dignity and patience. A very professional environment, lovely facilities and welcoming to visiting family and friends. My mum moved into The Elms in October 2021 until December 2023 and I couldn't have asked for better care for her. Beautiful, peaceful, rural setting with the gardens well-maintained.

My mum moved into The Elms, initially for a month of respite due to illness and once recovered she decided that she liked it so much that she decided to stay. She is still living there 9 months on and is happy, content and very well looked after. The staff are thoughtful and caring and really go the extra mile to support both the residents and their families. All of our family have been made to feel welcome whenever we visit. We are kept informed of things affecting Mum, and we feel additionally reassured seeing her, at nearly 94, doing so well. She says that she is able to do the things she wants to do and does not feel pressured or worried in any way. There are always activities for the residents during the day and the staff make every effort to keep them varied. The Elms really is a gem.

My sister has been made most welcome in The Elms after transferring from another residential home which was over 90 miles away from me. I am now able to visit on a regular basis. On her arrival, it took some time to settle in due to her dementia but the staff have been so patient, kind, and caring, and they have found the best ways to help her with her needs. The Elms have activities for her to enjoy especially singing and dancing and I have seen her dancing away on their social media page. I can thoroughly recommend the home.
