“People continued to receive safe care and support. People and their relatives told us they felt the home was a safe place to live and they felt safe with the staff that supported them. Comments included, "Oh yes I definitely feel safe. The staff are kind people and they have a chat with you"”
“My mum's been a resident since 2017 and has been very happy here since day one. The carers are genuinely caring and that's what makes the home so special. Emphasis is placed on making the residents feel like they're in their own home.”
Daughter of resident, 22 June 2023, carehome.co.uk
“My aunt has settled into Elmstead very well and finds the staff helpful and friendly. She is always well-presented and enjoys the services of the hairdresser and chiropodist. Overall, I feel she is much happier in herself than she was when at home.”
Niece of resident, 31 May 2023, carehome.co.uk
"Very pleased with Elmstead. Our uncle was made very welcome and soon settled as a permanent resident after a respite stay. We feel we have found the ideal location for a single gentleman who was becoming lonely."
