The Elms Care Home

The Elms Care Home is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 86 older people, some living with dementia or physical illness. At the time of inspection, 71 people were residing there.

The service demonstrated effective management of a recent COVID-19 outbreak, with clear zoning and robust measures in place to reduce staff movement between units. Staff who tested positive or displayed symptoms were shielded in line with government guidance and were symptom-free before returning to work, ensuring safe practices were maintained throughout the outbreak.
