Welcome to Elmslea Care
30 years ago Henry and Irene Stanbury opened the doors of their home at Elmslea to offer supported living to adults with complex needs, autism and learning disabilities. The purpose of Elmslea has always been to help people achieve their goals to independent living through a safe and secure family home environment

Our team work with residents to support them with their own learning and development needs.
We can provide in house support with basic maths and English as well as offering budgeting advice, or guidance on filling out forms, making and attending appointments or help in gaining further qualifications from other providers.
Encourage and Nurture
As well as group activities, we welcome residents taking time to work on individual hobbies and interests.
The family centred support model:
Here at Elmslea we fully support a family centred approach, and achieve this through the following:
Family style meal times, working together to produce the meal and eating together with staff in a friendly and informal atmosphere
Holidays - Residents are able to enjoy a few days away throughout the year. We take small groups with similar interests and abilities so that activities can be arranged with something for everyone to enjoy - come rain or shine, our residents cant wait for their next trip to the beach house.
We also encourage residents to take part in local community events and groups - from dancing to chess to the monthly film night - some have a very active social life!
Family Feasts
Eating together is a great way for people to interact, even more so when its been a joint effort to prepare the meal.
Holidays are Coming
Our residents are always excited for a trip to the beach! Come rain or shine, there are walks, games and fun activities for all to enjoy.
Social Activities
Residents take part in lots of community activities and events, some volunteer with neighbourhood charities, others attend day centres to socialise with other groups and some head off dancing every week!
