About St Elmo Care Home
St Elmo Care Home brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to residential care in Hampshire, offering older people a place where they can feel genuinely at home. The team here understands how significant this decision is for families, and that care extends beyond day-to-day needs to encompass comfort, dignity, and connection. If you are exploring care options in the area, St Elmo is a community worth getting to know.
This residential care home provides personal care to up to 23 older people, some living with dementia. The adapted building spans two floors with a passenger lift, communal areas for meals and activities, and was clean with no infection control concerns. Residents and relatives felt safe, with risks appropriately assessed and mitigated.
However, accidents and incidents were not always properly responded to, and lessons learned were not shared with staff to prevent recurrence. Medicines management raised safety concerns. The provider lacked full awareness of Mental Capacity Act responsibilities, and people were not consistently supported with maximum choice and control or in the least restrictive way.
Despite these issues, people's needs had been assessed and individual care plans developed to meet them.
