Each of our 42 ensuite bedrooms is furnished to a high standard offering Residents the chance to enjoy comfort and tranquillity. At Elm Bank providing independence and choice is very important – One reason we try and encourage residents to personalise their rooms with their own belongings to help them feel at home.
We believe that life at Elm Bank should include the best care, the best of life in the best environment.
All Marton Care residents are supported to live an active and fulfilled life. Our person-centred care ethos puts resident’s health and wellbeing central to everything providing a truly holistic care package.
The facilities at Elm Bank allow residents to enjoy other everyday routines that promote independence, from using the spacious “Gin Gang Style” communal lounge and dining rooms, enjoying the secure gardens and views to utilising the Beauty Salon.
