About
Elmhurst Nursing Home is a family-run home in Whitchurch, Shropshire, with 54 registered beds. It provides nursing, dementia, residential and respite care, supporting older people, including those with dementia and physical disabilities, from dementia care through to palliative care. Each resident has a care plan covering diet, medication, accommodation and a range of activities. The home is pet-friendly and does not restrict visiting hours.
The building has been reconfigured for easier access, with wider doorways and upgraded handling equipment, and a further unit was completed in 2024. Communal lounges are open plan and overlook the surrounding countryside, and many bedrooms share those views. Facilities include an on-site salon for visiting hairdressers, a sensory room and a staff training room. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2019 report, and rated it Good across all five key questions.
