Elm Lodge has a rich and eventful history charting back to the
1900’s when mill owners built the Lodge. Over the years, Elm Lodge
has been added to and by the 1980’s covered extensive grounds. At
this point the Lodge was in the ownership of the Oddie family and
was then sold onto the Robinson family.
In 1983, Elm Lodge was converted into a Residential Care Home. As
needs changed, the vast grounds surrounding the Lodge were
redeveloped in the late 80’s and 90’s to create several new homes
for the local community.
In 2005, Elm Lodge was owned by the Mortimer family who continued
where the Robinson’s left off by maintaining Elm Lodge as a
Residential Care Home for the Elderly. During this period, the
Mortimer’s maintained a two out of three star rating awarded by the
Social Care Regulator CSCI (now the CQC). In addition, the
Mortimer’s were chiefly responsible for achieving a 5 Star Food
Safety and Hygiene award by Wakefield Council which the Home
continues to hold today.
Today, Elm Lodge continues to thrive as a Residential Care Home for
the Elderly and is a part of the local community as it has ever
been.
Since being acquired by Alhambra Care Limited in May 2011, Elm Lodge
has undergone an improvement programme to ensure the Home’s position
as a leading provider in Social Care for years to come. Today we are
proud of working towards ever increasing care standards, achieving
personal best infection control inspection results as well as
maintaining a good Food Safety and Hygiene award by Wakefield
Council.
