Personalised Residential Care for Older Adults
Elm Lea caters for individuals aged 65 and over, with a particular focus on those living with dementia, eating disorders, mental health challenges, sensory impairments, physical disabilities, and those recovering from illness or surgery. Our team is trained to support a wide range of needs while ensuring that every resident feels part of a close-knit, welcoming community.
We also provide respite care for families needing short-term support, and end-of-life care with sensitivity and dignity, ensuring comfort and peace for our residents and their loved ones.
A Home from Home in the Heart of Hythe
What sets Elm Lea apart is our small, homely atmosphere. With space for just 15 residents – including one double room – we can offer a level of attention and individualised care that larger homes often can't provide. Every person in our care is treated like family, with personalised care plans, familiar routines and the kind of comfort that makes a real difference.
Our goal is to ensure that every resident feels safe, valued and at ease. With cosy communal areas, private en suite bedrooms, and beautiful outdoor gardens to enjoy, Elm Lea offers all the comforts of home, alongside 24-hour professional care.
Experienced Family-Led Care
Elm Lea is a family-run care home with over 30 years of experience supporting elderly individuals in a respectful, compassionate way. Our Registered Manager, Leah Hirst, leads a dedicated and highly trained team who are passionate about providing exceptional care. Backed by owner and provider Mr Arvind R Khanna, we uphold the highest standards of safety, wellbeing and comfort.
We are registered with TrustedCare and work in partnership with Kent County Council, welcoming both private and funded residents. Our care home is also proud to hold a 5-star food hygiene rating, reflecting our commitment to high-quality living standards.
