About Elm House
Elm House is a residential care home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. We care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, mental health conditions, learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities and sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Because the people who live here have quite different needs and ages, we plan around individuals rather than running the place to one pattern. Residents choose when to get up, what to eat, where to spend their day and how their support is provided. Rooms belong to the people living in them and we encourage everyone to make theirs their own. Supporting someone with dementia comes down to consistency, patience and knowing enough about the person's life to make sense of what they are telling us. We keep routines and faces as steady as we can and we respond to the feeling behind a question rather than correcting the facts. For residents with physical disabilities or sensory loss, the right equipment and sensible adjustments are what make independence possible, so we arrange those rather than simply doing more for people. For autistic residents and those with learning disabilities, we learn how each person communicates and prepare properly for change. Families and professionals are welcome and we want to hear from you when something is not right. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and look round.
