Bluebell House
from L W (Wife of Resident) published on 28 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Overall care has been very good. The care staff are lovely.
Worried for the future for space with extra residents. Quiet lounge being used for too many other events i.e. staff meeting, staff eating dinner and reducing space for quiet visits.
Laundry not very efficient, my husband's clothes lost and

he was dressed in someone else's (lady) clothes.
Cleaning very good and note taking regarding residents very good.

from H W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My grandad has been at Bluebell House for three months now and wow, what a wonderful place. It is always a worry when trying to pick the right place but we have with Bluebell, me and all my family are so pleased. Staff are great with him and his needs. Activities are brilliant and it has been lovely

to see all the residents get involved. The care here is to a high standard and nothing is too much. I love its open-door policy and we can come and go when we want and are always welcomed. Grandad had his 93rd birthday last week and the home accommodated our large family so we could celebrate with him and made it so special with entertainment too. Such a relief for us to leave Grandad there and not have to worry. We are updated constantly if Grandad's needs change. Thank you so much to all staff at Bluebell for all you do. You are all so special.

Overall Experience

I am very satisfied with the care and consideration from all the staff at Bluebell House.
They are kind, caring and make sure that they cater for all Mum's needs.
I like that you don't need to make an appointment to visit, just pop in, which to me, means that everyone/everything you see is genuine.

from Audrey M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I am very impressed with Bluebell House. It's early days, my father has not been here very long, building improvements continue, hence good for facilities. I have not yet seen activities in progress. The staff are very professional, polite and caring at all times. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.

I can honestly say that when my time comes, this will be the care home for me! I can sleep at night knowing my father is being very well cared for. Thank you all.

Overall Experience

What a wonderful Christmas party for the residents and family at Bluebell House today. You could tell it was special by the smiling faces of the residents. It is so important for them to feel happy in their environment. I, on behalf of my mother, would like to thank all the staff for their hard work,

dedication and most of all, the care they show, not only today but throughout the year. Particular mention to the entertainment and catering staff who helped make the day special. What a great start to Christmas. Thanks to the whole Bluebell team.

Review of
Hollies Care Home
from Sara L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at Hollies Care Home provided my grandfather with exceptional care and kindness during his final few months. Every single team member: kitchen staff, nurses and management, etc. were so compassionate to not only him but also my entire family. I am so eternally grateful that this was the care

home chosen for him. He had a laryngectomy and could not speak but everyone went above and beyond to communicate with him and ensure he was comfortable right to the end.

My sister is very happy in the home. She likes the food and is very well looked after by the staff. I like the fact that they respond to issues quickly and give my sister the support she needs.
