About Elm Tree House
Here at Elm Tree House, we offer residential care for people who need support in a homely and settled environment. We are based in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, and we support a wide range of people including older adults, younger adults, and individuals with a learning disability or autism. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break from their usual arrangements, whether planned or at short notice. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure that everyone who lives here feels genuinely at home, with their routines, preferences, and individuality respected from day one. Supporting people with a learning disability or autism sits at the heart of what we do. We know that this group of people can sometimes find transitions and new environments particularly challenging, so we work carefully to make sure that first introductions are done at a pace that feels right for each person. The same thoughtful approach applies to everyone who moves in with us, whatever their background or needs. We were recently assessed by the Care Quality Commission and received an overall rating of requires improvement. We want to be straightforward about this. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas identified with focus and honesty. We believe that acknowledging where we need to do better is the right thing to do, and we are committed to making the improvements needed so that the people in our care receive the standard they deserve. If you would like to visit Elm Tree House, speak with our team, or find out whether we might be the right fit for you or someone you care about, we would very much welcome the conversation.
