Holbrook Hall

My brother and I had to make the difficult decision to put my dad into a nursing home as he has Alzheimer's and couldn't live alone anymore. We really didn't want too as it did seem cruel but I have to say its the best decision we made. He is well looked after and Holbrook Hall go above and beyond to look after his health needs and Claire is amazing at finding interests to please him. All the the staff there are amazing and keep us updated. I also look forward to Facebook photos seeing him smile

We can't thank everyone at Holbrook enough.

Mum is so lucky to be in HH.. The staff and the care is just great. Such a relief to her family that she's being so well looked after. Mum is very very happy. With great food, lots of amazing social activities and good care mum is doing very well! Thank you staff at HH!!

much happier outlook now, and the care given by everyone at the home is second to none, we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

The staff are always happy to help with any problems or situations regarding mum, (and there are plenty!). They recognise any medical problems if they arise and deal with them promptly by contacting the surgery connected to the Home. Staff are always available to talk with. They listen and offer advice and act promptly if needed on any concerns I raise. The activities are very well organised by the activities officer, who is always very encouraging to residents who would otherwise be reluctant to join in, but always respectful of their wishes.

My Dad currently goes to Holbrook Hall for day care and respite stays. The staff always have a smile and are so friendly and helpful to me and very respectful towards my Dad. Knowing he is well looked after gives me piece of mind on my days off from being his carer. Thank you HH for all you do x

Having visited Holbrook Hall on many occasions to provide wreath making workshops with the residents, I have always found the staff so happy and helpful. The residents are clearly very well looked after and comfortable. The staff are a credit to the care home and the community.

The activities and entertainment are brilliant. The management are very kind and helpful. My friend could not be in a better place.

I would recommend Holbrook Hall to anyone considering a care home setting for their loved one; and give it 10/10 on all criteria.

I cannot fault the care given to Mum during her time spent at Holbrook Hall. The staff went above and beyond, they changed Mum's life for the good with their encouragement to keep mum going, helping her to join the daily activities and make new friends. Encouraging her to eat the lovely food, and putting time and effort into special events such as birthdays and Christmas. Mum's final days were spent peacefully and calm. It is a home in all senses.

I dropped mum off at Holbrook Hall for a half day visit this week. We were made to feel very welcome immediately with friendly smiles and cups of tea. Mum thoroughly enjoyed the activities throughout the day and was particularly enthusiastic about a delicious lunch served with fresh vegetables. All the staff were kindly and encouraging and mum loved meeting the residents. Thank you to everyone at Holbrook Hall for making mum's visit so enjoyable. She is looking forward to seeing you all again!

My husband spent nearly three months at Holbrook Hall where he was always treated with great kindness, thoughtful care and close attention before his death in late December. He became very fond of many of the staff. I couldn't have hoped for more.

Holbrook Hall is a very friendly, caring place. When I arrived on Christmas Eve, in spite of the carers having their own Christmas plans they were all very friendly and helpful and I felt looked after immediately. Since then I have got to know many of the carers by name and they take their jobs very seriously and are very well trained. I was pleasantly surprised by the freedom of choice regarding the food, I could have anything I wanted for breakfast. Lunchtime there is plenty of variety, well cooked and large portions if you so wish. For tea, there's soup and sandwiches and other choices too. Throughout the day the coffee and tea trolley comes around regularly. A cuppa in bed when waking is very much appreciated, so this was much better than living on my own and having to do everything for myself. The lady who runs the activities is very enthusiastic and full of ideas to keep us happily occupied. There's a large range of books to read and games to play that you can access at anytime.

There is a lovely family feel to the home, and I thoroughly recommend it.

I left the visit feeling very happy and thankful to all who make Holbrook Hall a great place to live.

Mum has been at Holbrook Hall since May 2024 and is very happy there. The facilities and environment at the home are very good, a range of menu options through the week, nice communal spaces where residents can relax and a lovely garden area. A lot of effort goes into organising a range of activities for residents throughout each week, including entertainment, hobbies and trips out. Mum has made lots of new friends and really enjoys the daily social interactions with other residents and the carers. The staff and carers themselves are exceptional, working hard to make sure the residents are well looked after and dealing with individual requirements and requests. Knowing Mum is in a caring environment and is being well looked after is very comforting. We are very happy that Mum has settled into Holbrook so well and enjoy visiting and spending time with her in such a nice environment.

Mum is so very happy at the home. She is very well cared for. The food is great, she often comments on its quality. The entertainment is very well organised and brilliant at keeping all the residents well stimulated. Thank you to all of the Holbrook Hall staff. It really is very much appreciated.

My mother has been at Holbrook Hall for almost 3 years. She feels safe, happy and cared for. She has dementia but all the staff ensure she has what she needs. She can be difficult but they are patient and kind to her. I feel comfortable knowing she is in the best place for her at this stage in her life.

As a family we really appreciate everything Holbrook Hall Care Home provides for our father. It's great seeing him so happy and settled. A couple of years ago, as a family we were in a very different place having just lost my mum. We had been through a really difficult time. The staff at Holbrook Hall Care Home could not have done more to help my dad settle in when he joined them 18 months ago. He has made a lot of friends, goes on plenty of trips and enjoys all the varied activities that are organised for the residents. He has his independence and is able to walk around the beautiful grounds, and the trips have been great. He's visited a local friendship group, the pub and the seaside to name a few. The staff work really hard to achieve all this, special mention to the member of staff who organises the activities, and to catering who even bake cakes for each resident to celebrate birthdays. For the first time in years we are able to relax knowing that dad is happy and safe.

My mother-in-law comments on how lovely the staff are to her, how delicious the food is and she really loves the room she has. We are all so impressed with the quality of care she receives and all the activities that go on within the care home. I've noticed how tired my mother-in-law is because she has been doing so many more things than she was used to in her own home and that has improved her mobility and her alertness. I was very impressed that in the first week she was taken out in the minibus to a community Centre which she told us all about. It is lovely to see what she has been doing on Facebook. I really appreciate the list of what activities there are to do each day which are varied and in some instances unusual!. My husband turned up with a friend to the cake and a cuppa event which they really enjoyed, it's a lovely way to involve everyone with some residents even making the cakes. A very caring care home.
