Holywell Park

from M F (Niece of Resident) published on 1 July 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My aunt was a resident of Holywell Park for just 2 years until her death earlier this month. From the moment we walked through the door, the care she has been given was second to none. Every single staff member, no matter what their status or job was in the hierarchy, was so caring to her and also to
the family when we visited. They always seemed to know who we are and would often give a quick update on her welfare. I know that she was not always the easiest of people, but that made no difference, and she did appreciate and care for all of them. You only have to see the photo board or look on social media to see what a wonderful time the residents have. Every day, something was arranged, and many outings too. Holywell Park Care Home is second to none, and I can't thank them enough.

Our Mum is so very well cared for by the extremely warm, friendly and professional staff at Holywell. The whole place has such a lovely big family feel to it. When we visit, we are very much welcomed and nothing is too much trouble. So much effort goes into making Mum look and feel as good as she can
and she is treated with genuine dignity, patience and respect. There are daily engaging activities, nutritious and appetising food and even a tipple with the evening meal! Not to mention the beautiful setting.
I can't fault the place!

Towards the end of June my husband will have been a resident in the Main House of Broome Park for 9 years. During this time there have been many changes in staff coming, going and best of all a number of the leaving staff returning.


As a result of my health I have, unfortunately, gone from 5 times

a week visiting to zero but I have daily contact with my husband via a messaging app and can see how well he is cared for. The staff do a great job and I am very grateful to each and every one of them.


I am regularly updated on his well being and if there is anything untoward the staff will immediately contact me. I have regular Care review calls with the last one being only a few days ago


With many thanks. Please keep up the great work.

When my husband moved to Holywell Park, his life was transformed, his health improved, and he was encouraged to join in and enjoy the activities/entertainment both within the home and on external visits, something he had been unable to manage for years. All the staff were brilliant from day one. Absolutely
5 stars for this home set in the most beautiful surroundings.

I can't speak highly enough for the care my Dad received at Holywell Park. From the moment he arrived, everyone was so patient and understanding that he needed to settle and acclimatise to living in a new setting. As a family, we were actively encouraged to become part of Holywell. My Dad was treated
with the utmost respect and compassion. Every day, every staff member took the time to engage with him; the time to get to know him, understand what made him smile and laugh and include him, and us, in so many activities that had previously not been possible for him to access. The activities team are encouraged to go above and beyond for their residents, keeping them entertained and enhancing daily life, whether it's visiting musicians, reminiscence afternoons, day trips, lunches out, animal visits or simply sharing a laugh and offering a listening ear. Knowing he was surrounded by such positive, caring people made a huge difference to his and our daily lives. As a family we are incredibly grateful for the warmth and genuine love they showed him and us.

Holywell Park

from Tim B (Son of Resident) published on 29 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

In my mind what sets Holywell Park apart is that it has the feeling that it is the residents home first of all. In this respect the staff are very professional and caring, but also have an informality when they are mixing with the residents, chatting, joking and showing a real interest in them.
The
activities schedule at Holywell is very comprehensive and varied with activities most days. Mum is wheelchair bound and being at Holywell means that she has been able to go out on trips with the other residents every month.
The home has an active Facebook page which is regularly updated with photos and videos. This feed regularly includes images of Mum getting involved in a whole range of activities and really enjoying herself.
Seeing Mum smiling in these images, confirms our view that we struck lucky when we found Holywell and took the decision to let Mum move there last August.

Reply from Lynn Grafham, Regional Director at Holywell Park

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We always view ourselves as guests in our residents' home and helping create a warm, friendly home atmosphere is integral to our purpose. We are delighted that you can see Mum enjoying the activities via Facebook.

Myself and our family are extremely grateful for the wonderful care given to my husband. When he was admitted to Broome Park he suffered with a brain tumour and coped bravely with the symptoms. Whenever I visited I observed the loving care and nursing administered to him and also to me and our families.
When he died, the night shift staff were sensitive and comforting to me. Thank you for your love and care at such a difficult time for us.

Our family member went to stay here for two week respite, but unfortunately with her condition getting worse and circumstances changing she will be staying.
The manger has been absolutely amazing, with all her help and support also every one of the staff are so lovely and friendly and have made everyone
feel
so welcome and accommodating to help her settle in. From the cleaners to chefs to entertainment girls, the carers and the receptionist is absolutely lovely we couldn't ask for better place for our loved one to be. They go above and beyond, the atmosphere is lovely and the home cleanliness is 10/10. We are so grateful for this beautiful home and that our loved one is here.
The care that is give is amazing.
Just want to say that the entertainment girls are just amazing, they make everyone laugh and the care and fun they give everyone in there is just incredible. Well done to every single staff member at Holywell Park Care Home. Thank you.

My wife arrived at Holywell Park on Friday 6 December, having previously been assessed by the manager. Over the weekend she was highly agitated and fell several times. On Monday 9 December the home arranged for her to be taken by ambulance to A&E, despite there being no physical injury, and said that
she was not welcome to come back, so effectively making her homeless. She was very unhappy there and while some of the staff treated her kindly it was a very sad short experience.

Reply from Lynn Grafham, Regional Director at Holywell Park

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review and I am sorry that your experience was not what you had hoped. Unfortunately despite assessing residents before moving in it can be impossible to know the impact the move will have. We always understand this and work with patience and kindness to help this transition. We must ensure the safety of all within our care. We wish you and your wife nothing but the best moving forward.

My dad went to Holywell on respite in July 2023 and ended up staying there. We visited many care homes before deciding on Holywell and without doubt the thing that makes this home stand head and shoulders above the rest was the absolute love care and attention the staff give to the residents.
The care
staff genuinely care. They are not simply doing a job. They go over and above and I have seen staff come to summer events on their day off and still look after the residents. Not because they have been told to or asked to but because they do genuinely have an affection for the residents.
Everyone at the home from kitchen and cleaning staff, the carers, nurses, admin staff and maintenance are friendly and kind. Dad's room is always immaculately clean.
Being a relative of a person at Holywell is like gaining a whole new family. There really is a family feel. They celebrate every residents birthdays and do their utmost to make their day special with cakes and presents.
The activities staff are amazing. They have planned activities every day. All residents are encouraged to join and they include those who maybe cannot get out of bed. Activities range from arts, crafts, games, live entertainment, baking, themed days, any national celebrations (Halloween etc.) sports, garden parties, BBQs, nursery kids visiting, days out, pamper days for men and women, animal visits. The list goes on. They have a whole year of activities planned. They take the time to find out what each resident enjoys and try to incorporate that too. Dad has Alzheimer's and it took him some time to settle in but the staff were patient with him. He is now very settled and is extremely happy at Holywell. I get to see glimpses of Dad's mischievous side where he is cheeky to the staff and at times winds them up which they all take in good spirit. The decision to put Dad in a home has been made so much easier by everyone at Holywell and I can genuinely relax in the knowledge that Dad is well looked after, safe and happy.

My brother, who is profoundly deaf and autistic, had to move from his previous care home where he had been for twenty-one months, very traumatic for an autistic patient but Broome Park Nursing Home have handled the transition brilliantly. He has settled very quickly and within five days, was telling

Our Mum has advanced dementia and has been a resident at Holywell Park for over a year. As she has become frailer, her needs have increased. Our family experience of Holywell has been incredibly positive. Without a doubt, it is the amazing staff that makes Holywell so special. Every staff member is
professional, caring and understanding. They care for Mum and her family. We could not have gone through all the ups and downs of Mum's illness without them. Despite the many challenges, the staff face daily, they always remain calm and positive. We cannot thank them enough for the love and care they all give to our mum.
