Elmwood House Care Home

My Nan Irene Hammond moved here aged 97 and stayed here until she died recently at 102 years old. She was so well cared for, and loved in this home - it was the absolute best thing we did for her. All the staff without exception were kind, gentle, funny and loving. Nan had so many hugs and kisses on her birthdays (particularly her 100th). When she had her funeral, we drove the funeral hearse passed the home on the way to the crematorium, and lots of the staff and some residents, were stood outside the gates, waving and then clapping us passed. All of them were in tears. Nan was not only well fed, entertained, kept clean & well in Elmwood - she truly was loved as well.

My Dad moved into this Home last week. It is clean, spacious, bright and lively. It does not feel like an Old Peoples' Home and the staff are willing, funny, hard working and not hidebound by silly rules and regulations (well, they may be but they don't show it. They have a "nothing is impossible" attitude.) Early days but well done to the management for making this Home a happy and comfortable place where residents don't feel as though they have been incarcerated, rather liberated.
