Elm Green Nursing Home is a large, purpose-built centre with 120 single en-suite rooms, providing long-term nursing care including dementia and palliative care. Residents generally reported being happy and praised the kindness of staff and the quality of food. The centre offers a range of activities and has good access to outdoor spaces. However, inspectors found significant concerns with fire safety measures and some infection control practices that need urgent attention. Some continence care assessments also require improvement.

This is the most the home can charge a week for residents on the Fair Deal scheme. Under Fair Deal you pay up to 80% of your income and 7.5% of the value of your assets a year, and the State pays the rest. Homes may charge extra for things like activities, hairdressing or newspapers, so ask about these when you call.
