About The Elms
The Elms is a 25-bed residential care home located on Barry Road in Southwark, South London. It is run by Mission Care Management and provides care for older people, younger adults with physical disabilities, and individuals with dementia.
The home was last inspected by the Care Quality Commission in December 2022, when it was rated as Requires Improvement. This means the service did not meet all the standards expected at that time, though it continues to operate and provide residential care.
The facility's relatively small size means residents may benefit from a more intimate setting compared to larger establishments. As a multi-purpose home accepting older people alongside younger adults with physical disabilities, The Elms serves a diverse resident population with different care needs and support requirements.
