Elmwood House Nursing Home

About Us

Elmwood House Nursing Home in Boston cares for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support.

Having nurses on site at every hour is the reason many families choose us, because it means a person can stay put as their health changes rather than moving again at a difficult time. We pay close attention to the clinical essentials, including medication, pain relief, skin care and nutrition, and we bring in GPs and community teams early rather than late.

Done properly, that side of the work fades into the background and leaves room for the day itself. Mornings are flexible, food is cooked here and adapted to individual tastes, and support with washing and dressing is given at the resident's pace rather than the rota's. There is company for those who want it and quiet for those who would rather have their own room, the radio and a visit from family.

We take time to learn about each resident's working life, family, faith and habits, because that tells us far more about how to care for someone than a list of diagnoses.

We also offer respite care, whether to give a family carer a break or to provide nursing support for a few weeks after hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
