Testimonials

Hear from those who call Elmswood home

We are so pleased with our choice of retirement village. Important to us long term, was that Elmswood offers levels of care from independent living to hospital level all set amongst neatly kept colourful gardens. We all watch out for each other here and help where we can with the many excellent village activities. It is entirely up to each resident which activity they participate in. The staff from top down is second to none - exceptional in fact - remembering each resident by name. This truly is a village in every sense of the word.

David

Villa resident

I find the staff very polite, considerate and caring. When asked to do something, it is done immediately. Nothing is ever a bother, and all the staff are very polite, friendly and concerned for one’s welfare.

Nancy

Apartment resident

My precious mum has been in the care of Elmswood for the past 3 years. In that time, her care has been faultless, as working in Older People's Health, my expectations are very high. If there are any issues, I find the staff, from Management to the Carers on the floor, always listen and have solutions to make sure my mum is not only well cared for but also happy. I am so grateful for the excellent care, kindness, activities, meals, and medical care she gets everyday.
