We contacted Elmes when my mum needed emergency care after a hospital stay. We had used Elmes before and felt confident they would help us at this difficult time. They were extremely helpful, flexible and supportive — providing the reassurance we needed at very short notice.
Elmes have been looking after an elderly member of our family and I really don't know how we'd manage without them. They are reliable and caring and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.
The team visit three times a day to assist with mealtimes, morning and evening care, and ensure she is safe and comfortable throughout the day. They also support her with her medication, which has become increasingly important as she now gets a little confused — which gives us complete peace of mind. What really sets them apart is their kindness and willingness to go the extra mile. They will even collect medication from the pharmacy if needed; nothing is ever too much trouble.
Every member of the team is caring, patient, and professional, and they treat my Nan with genuine dignity and respect. As a family, we feel incredibly reassured knowing she is in such safe hands. I would highly recommend Elmes Homecare to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and high-quality care.
I cannot recommend Elmes Homecare highly enough. They have been providing exceptional support to my 98-year-old Nan, and the standard of care has been truly outstanding.
A very professional and caring company. The care given to my late Father in Law was second to none. All staff, from office to carers, were so loving with him. He was able to stay at home rather than go into a care home for his last 7 weeks, which meant such a lot to all the family. Would thoroughly recommend.
Congratulations to you and to your whole team on winning the award for Adult Social Care, which is well-deserved in my opinion. Thank you too for the care that your team give to my mother.
Elmes Homecare were absolutely fantastic in the care given to my late father. They cared for him for over 2 years, enabling him to stay in his own home at the ripe old age of 101. All carers and staff were so approachable and nothing was too much trouble. We as a family will be forever grateful.
I wanted to let you know how pleased my Mum is with the care she's receiving from your staff — they are all so caring, friendly and helpful. It's very reassuring for me to know she is in such good hands. Please can you pass on our thanks to the staff who are caring for her?
They are kind, understanding, patient, friendly and efficient and I have nothing but praise for the care they provide.
Currently, they are providing companionship visits to Mum so that I can have some kind of social life, and the relief to me of being able to leave Mum in safe hands has been immense.
Always lovely carers visiting Mum for her twice-weekly showers. They are very well trained and nothing is too much trouble for them. Mum looks forward to their visits and I would highly recommend Elmes Homecare to anyone requiring care.
We approached Elmes when my father needed care in his home. The care and understanding my father now receives is first class — they always communicate with me on the smallest of issues and my dad is so happy with the wonderful care he receives. Totally reliable and trustworthy.
This was my first time getting support in the care of my elderly mother and we were both a little apprehensive. However, Elmes made the whole process very reassuring. Mum has had the same carer every time and they have already formed a lovely bond. As a sole carer for my mum, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed but now, with the help of Elmes, I feel as if I have got some of my old life back. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Elmes Homecare has been looking after my mother since her husband died 18 months ago, and also looked after him previously. We are extremely happy and satisfied with the care they provide and would definitely recommend them. Carers and office staff are always very helpful and accommodating to any last-minute requests.
This is the second time Elmes Homecare have provided companionship care visits to my elderly mother while we have been away on holiday. The support is excellent and nothing is too much to ask of them. I will definitely use Elmes again and recommend them highly to everyone.
I highly recommend Elmes Homecare, having been a client for nearly three years. They choose their staff well and work cooperatively with the client to maintain high standards. Both our parents have dementia — the carers are kind, respectful, observant and caring. We feel able to trust in the care they provide, which gives enormous peace of mind.
Elmes Homecare are a marvellous care agency. Because of their personal care of our dad (93 years old) over the last two years, it has been possible for Dad to remain in his home. Dad enjoys the company of the lovely carers who look after him four times a day. Elmes are excellent communicators and go above and beyond their duty of care.
Absolutely outstanding and extremely professional care and support, along with a great service.
Elmes Homecare cared for my mum during the last few weeks of her life. All of the staff were amazing. They cared for my mum with great skill, compassion and professionalism. Her needs changed quickly, but Elmes were able to respond and give us the help we needed. I could not recommend them more highly.
I am writing to say a very big thank you to all your staff at Elmes Homecare for taking such good care of my cousin over the past few months. Your staff carried out their duties with great care and kindness and helped to make her last few months as comfortable as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend your company.
We had a very prompt and professional response to our initial enquiry. They were able to set up and advise on a care plan to meet our father's needs, promptly matching a very good carer to suit. Since starting, the carer's work has been of a high quality and she has made a positive impact on our father's daily life. They are always willing to help solve any request.
Everyone at Elmes showed such love and care to my aunt for three years. Her final weeks were difficult, but all the carers looked after her so well — they would stay on after their time finished just to sit with her. We couldn't have found a more caring group. She looked on them as trusted friends.
I joined Elmes Homecare 6 months ago and I can say 100% that all of the domiciliary carers are looked after — and that is why I always feel confident going to work. As carers we are part of a strong and caring team, and that's why I've become a confident and happy carer.
The wonderful Elmes team have provided excellent care for my mother. They have shown flexibility and that personal touch whilst applying the most rigorous standards. After my mother had a stay in hospital, the Elmes team put in place a Respite Package that helped her settle back in her home environment. I have no hesitation in recommending the Elmes team.
