About Elderwood House
Elderwood House combines residential, dementia and respite care with a varied daily life for older people and younger adults. Its care team supports individual needs while activities, hospitality and shared spaces encourage residents to remain involved.
Short stays can help after hospital discharge or when a family needs temporary support. Meals are prepared on site each day using locally sourced meat and vegetables, with seasonal and modified-texture dishes available according to residents’ needs. Activities can include exercise, games, poetry and outings, while the on-site salon adds a practical amenity. Respite or short-stay care offers a flexible route into the home.
