Elmcroft is a bright, spacious modern care home which opened in 2008 and is located in a quiet residential setting in Shoreham-by-Sea, close to Brighton and Worthing.

The home provides 60 single en-suite bedrooms divided into 6 separate self contained units each with its own lounge/dining area. The care of the individual is our highest priority each resident’s privacy and dignity is at the very heart of our philosophy. We encourage residents to personalise their rooms as they wish; this provides the home with a unique and homely atmosphere. Our fully qualified and dedicated members of care staff provide the very highest standard of care to our residents 24 hours a day. Elmcroft provides residential care for frail elderly and for those suffering from dementia.

Moving into residential or nursing care can be a difficult decision but is often necessary for older people who can no longer manage on their own or with the help of relatives, friends or other carers. But in Shaw care homes our friendly professional staff are trained to make the transition hassle free and ensure that independence and the key components of daily living are maintained as much as possible. We aim to provide you with choices - over your personal care, what and when you eat, whether you want some peace and quiet or to join in a range of social activities. All this is provided in homely and comfortable surroundings - and with your own private bedroom. There are two types of care home, those which provide personal care only and those which also provide nursing care. All homes provide meals, laundry service and personal care such as help with washing, dressing, general mobility and day-to-day tasks. Nursing homes provide all of these services but additionally they employ registered, trained nurses who are able to provide health-related care. Government assistance with the cost of this nursing care is available to everyone and is not means-tested.
