CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Elmhurst Nursing Home is one of 112 care homes in Shropshire: a 54-bed nursing home in Whitchurch, run by Elmhurst (Shropshire) Ltd. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability. The typical home in Shropshire has 29 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
60 other homes in Shropshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. 91% of homes in Shropshire also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from April 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Shropshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
