The Elms is our care home in Louth, on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and a short drive from the Lincolnshire coast. The Main Georgian house and its modern purpose-built care units are situated in a quiet residential part of town with amazing view of the surrounding countryside

Each of our 86 bedrooms many of which are ensuite, is furnished to a high standard offering Residents the chance to enjoy comfort and tranquillity. At The Elms 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 The Elms should include the best care, the best of life in the best environment.

All Highgate 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 The Elms allow residents to enjoy other everyday routines that promote independence, from using the communal lounges, enjoying the landscaped gardens courtyards and views, utilising one of the Beauty Salon’s, meeting friends in the Dementia Café or weather permitting relaxing on The Elms very own beach complete with Beach huts

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.

The Elms 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.
