About Elmstead House

Elmstead House is a nursing home in Barnet, London, caring for older people who need qualified nursing support alongside help with daily living. We care for residents living with dementia or a mental health condition, look after people with a physical disability, and offer respite stays for shorter periods of nursing care. Having nurses on site means health needs can be met here as they change, so people do not have to move on at the point when familiar surroundings matter most. We manage long term conditions, provide wound and continence care, and offer end of life care with dignity and as little disruption as possible. Alongside the nursing, we work hard to keep daily life ordinary. Residents decide when to get up, where to spend their time, what they eat and how much company they want. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered, and we take account of the different backgrounds and diets of the people who live here. Our staff take time to learn what settles a particular resident and what unsettles them, which matters greatly for anyone living with dementia or managing a mental health condition. We keep families closely informed, particularly when health needs change, and visitors are welcome through the day. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
