Our Elm Bank care home in Hexham is a purpose-built home situated on the banks of the River Tyne in the shadow of the historic Hexham Abbey. Elm Bank is just a five-minute drive from the town centre with excellent public transport links.

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.

‘We believe Elm Bank. will be the perfect choice for you. Our dedicated care team work closely with all our residents, to encourage them to take part in activities that are tailored to their needs based on their lifestyle preferences …’

Our home has a busy activities timetable, built around the key goals of mental stimulation, increased mobility and social engagement. Activities include arts and crafts sessions, gardening, exercise classes, cinema nights, quizzes, musical performances, and pamper sessions. Each activity is designed to enhance life skills and give a feeling of purpose and self-worth. There is a great variety of activities to try, with new activities added frequently.

The in-house chefs will prepare exceptional food from fresh, seasonal produce that’s locally sourced where possible. Menus will include a mix of delicious and nutritious options including traditional classic meals, Residents’ favourites and exciting international cuisine.

Elm Bank is proud to be part of the Dementia Friends campaign and other charities to support research on what practices best support people living with dementia to positively influence policy and practice for dementia care in care homes across the UK.
