About The Elms Care Home

The Elms Care Home is a nursing home in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we take respite admissions alongside permanent places. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, manage a good deal here rather than in hospital, and provide care towards the end of life calmly and without rush. Clinical care is only part of the job. What people notice day to day is whether their relative is comfortable, clean, eating well, listened to and answered when they call. Those are the standards we hold ourselves to. For residents living with dementia we keep the environment calm, routines familiar and staffing as steady as we can, and we take time to learn about each person's life so that we can make better sense of what they are telling us. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we are not going to talk around it. We know the areas that were identified, we are working through them with the whole team, and if you come to see us we will tell you honestly what has changed and what has not yet. Families are welcome at The Elms, and we would much rather hear a concern early than have it saved up.
