My father suffers from Vascular Dementia and as a result has no capacity for meaningful conversation or thought process.
From day one the care team have made it their business to encourage him to speak and integrate by gentle coercion. I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Holt House in Prestwich.

From day one the care team have made it their business to encourage him to speak and integrate by gentle coercion. I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Holt House in Prestwich.
He
has thrived in his 12 months there and as it happens in transferring him to be nearer to me on 26th June 2025. I know it will be a sad day for everyone at this wonderful care home.

My mum has been a resident since November 2024. I was anxious at first about how Mum would settle after living in a family home and attending daycare. I found the staff at Holt House very friendly. As I live overseas, I thought I would feel isolated in her care, but Holt House staff are never too busy
to answer queries and hook me up by videocall to chat with Mum. I highly recommend this residential care home. Nothing is too much trouble, and the staff go out of their way to make the residents feel at home. Meals are cooked to individual preferences and at all times they relate to your questions or concerns. Holt House offers events and activities for the residents. I see Mum daily on the Holt House social media group attending the group activities and can see how lovely she looks when she has just had her hair and nails done. I am very pleased with the care and attention my mother receives and can see how well looked after she is. Thank you to all the staff at Holt House for making my mum welcome and settled.
Reply from Jade Clayton, Activities Lead at Holt HouseThank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review. It is a pleasure looking after mum, we do our best to make sure all family and friends feel welcome in our home.

My dad is well looked after and is very happy at the care home. The staff are very patient and help my dad when he is struggling, but let him be independent when he is able to, which he still likes to be. His clothes are always clean and he looks smart when I visit.

My mum was lucky enough to get a place in Holt House in April and I can't praise it enough. It really is a proper home where she is known and cared for as an individual. Her preferences are understood and catered for and all her needs are met with kindness and good humour. The home is a lovely place
with a beautiful garden and the atmosphere is very positive with lots of fun. I am very grateful for each individual who contributes to such excellent care.

My wife has been resident here for approximately two years the care she has received has been constantly first class and the same standards apply to family members visiting.
Of special note is the opportunity for residents to take part in a number of activities on a daily basis.

My friend has been in Holt House for nearly a year. I can't fault the care and attention. There are lots of activities both for residents and for friends and family. If I need care in the future Holt House would be my choice. I worked as a Social Worker for many years and have experienced many care
homes. I find Holt House to be outstanding.

Can't thank the lovely and amazing team enough at Holt House, Prestwich. My Nana is so happy and very well looked after. From the daily activities which she loves to do and the peacefulness of the home we couldn't want for anything more for her. As a family we love coming to visit and we're always made
to feel very welcome.

Holt House is a wonderful care home. It is very well run and staff are exceptionally good. I am happy that my aunt is very well cared for. The home is lovely - well kept, bright and airy and spotlessly clean. There are plenty of activities going on and entertainment. The garden is lovely with plenty
of space to sit out in summer. There are a number of lounges and conservatory overlooking the garden where residents and family can go. As a care home, I cannot fault it.

On arrival at Holt House, I was greeted in a warm friendly manner by the head of care team. After initial introductions I was given a thorough tour of the home and garden. I thought the place had a nice busy orderly but homely feel to it, staff gong about their duties catering for all manner of patient
needs.
On exit from Holt House I was instructed in the front door security system which I was happy with. I thought my mother will be well looked after.

There is a clear structure to
each day and whenever I visit, there is some form of activity going on, providing interaction and stimulation. It is exactly what my Mum needed and this has helped return a proper structure to her daily routine.
We have all noticed a positive change in Mum's personality since she moved into Holt House and it has lifted a lot of demand and pressure from us all.

My mum has been a resident at Holt House since 4th April, following a considerable period of care at another care home. The home has a very friendly and welcoming ambience and the staff are extremely helpful and receptive to requests. I have been particularly impressed by the varied and engaging range
of activities organised such as pet therapy, quizzes, religious services and painting. I would highly recommend Holt House and my experience has been very positive.

Dad is living his best life. He has friends, he absolutely adores the staff. He joins in all sorts of activities including things he has never done before like cooking! Having a Chaplain and regular worship is important to Dad. The staff deal very positively with Dad's dementia and always with respect.
He is encouraged to make good choices and supported unconditionally.

My mother has been in Holt House for 18 months now and throughout this time her care has been excellent, always respectful and individualised. I feel that the staff really know her. Recently she broke her shoulder and needed more help but staff attentiveness to her changing needs could not be faulted.
My mum does not take part in the activities provided but she enjoys sitting in the garden in fine weather and staff are always happy to take her out there.
The carers are always responsive to queries or concerns and deal with them in a friendly manner.
In general, Holt House has a really caring ethos.

My dad has only been a resident for about a month now, but we cannot fault the home or the care staff. It's a listed building in a lovely quiet location, with nice outdoor spaces. All the staff have been brilliant with my dad, helping him to settle in and feel at home. They are all caring, respectful
and kind to residents and there is always a really warm atmosphere and a welcoming feel to the place. We feel completely at ease knowing he is safe and well looked after.
We are so grateful for the care provided and really thankful to have found a place at Holt House.

The atmosphere when you enter Holt House is genuinely inviting and welcoming. We instinctively knew this was the place for Mum and 18 months later we are still of the same opinion. The home is warm safe and secure. The staff are dedicated, always at hand and nothing is too much trouble. Holt House is
not a care home, it is a home blessed with genuine carers.

My mum has been at Holt House for just over one month. On all my visits I have seen with my own eyes evidence of the very high standard of care that she and others receive.
In addition to my mum, who suffers from dementia and early-stage Alzheimer's, is blessed by the help and support she receives.

Our 96-year-old mother, who has severe mobility issues has been a resident in Holt House for over 2 years. Mum prefers to stay in her room apart from when she has a shower or has her hair done. Therefore she misses out on all the excellent activities which are available but is very content in her room,
where she receives excellent care from a team of friendly and hardworking staff.
Reply from Julie Garrity, home manager at Holt HouseThank you for the review. Mum has her own character and we know her well. All of you are always welcome and at least Mum has seen some of our activities if not all of them.
