Elmhurst

Elmhurst Short Stay is part of our older people's service and offers respite for reasons such as:

• Regular respite for carers/families to have a break.
• Temporary stay due to house renovations, awaiting equipment, homecare services to start.
• Following time in hospital, where there is a need for a period of recovery or convalescence.
• Following urgent and/or unforeseen emergency situations which require people to vacate their own homes immediately or to keep them safe. 
• Holiday for their own benefit.

Elmhurst offers people private rooms (we have one twin room and 26 single rooms) with their own en suite. There is easy access to every area of Elmhurst and the garden, as the entire building is all on one level.

Elmhurst is next door to our short stay service for adults with learning disabilities; Woodbury Short Stay.

Quotes from people who services at this site:

“Thank you for all your care and kindness. I have been very happy here and will be sad to say goodbye.” 

“Thank you for looking after mum so well. It’s a relief to know she’s safe when I’m away.” 

“Thank you for all the care and support you gave my dad and my family over the last couple of months before dad sadly passed away. You went above and beyond to help and support us and it was much appreciated.” 

“I wish to thank you all for the care you gave us both during my wife’s stay. I will never forget how you “put up” with me. We will never forget you all and the blessings you gave us.”
