Our Story

Elmar was founded in 1986 by Elizabeth Margaret.

img

Elmar was founded in 1986 by Elizabeth Margaret, a nurse at Airedale Hospital with a passion for care and community. The name Elmar is a tribute to her—taken from her initials, Elizabeth Margaret.

Driven by her values of compassion, dignity, and dedication, Elizabeth built Elmar to provide high-quality, person-centred care. After her passing, her son Nigel carried on her vision, leading the organisation with the same heartfelt commitment.

In 2018, Elmar entered a new chapter when Tooba took over. Since then, we’ve grown steadily—opening new offices in Horsforth, Bradford, and Manchester, and launching a day centre at our Keighley location.

In March 2025, we proudly expanded our services further by securing a new care contract in Lancashire.

Today, Elmar continues to provide exceptional care across the North of England, staying true to the legacy of our founder and the values that have guided us from the very beginning.

Why Elmar Home Care?

Efficient • Personal • Dependable

Tailored Care That Fits Your Life

We take the time to learn about your routines, preferences, and specific needs. Our care plans are intended for actual people, not checklists, because excellent care should complement, not interrupt, your lifestyle.

Consistency You Can Count On

Elmar provides familiar, reliable carers – there is no constant rotation. We think that consistency fosters trust, comfort, and truly better treatment day after day.

Clear, Reliable Communication

From the start, we make everything straightforward, transparent, and easy to understand. You will always know:

• Who to contact
• What to expect
• How we’re supporting you

Elmar Home Care is dedicated to providing care that is personal, dependable, and stress-free, allowing you and your family to focus on what is most important.
