Due to transport difficulties, we arrived after the usual admission time for Holbrook Hall that day, nether the less we received a warm welcome. My folks were allowed to stay a while and settle me in and a tempting light meal was straight away put in front of me. The staff are mostly long serving, so patient and kind, the location is wonderful, distant views, grounds superb every effort made to keep minds alive. Food home cooked, fresh and tempting. It feels like you belong.
We are thrilled that you have settled in quickly and are so very happy at Holbrook Hall. It is a real pleasure to have the opportunity to get to know you and welcome you to our Home.
It's a joy to respond to the care staff who are both cheerful and helpful, accepting both my deafness and my poor memory. The one improvement I would like would be to have more written information about what is, or is about to be, happening; telling we residents how we are to respond. Also, what has been cancelled.
Thank you so very much for your valuable feedback and we are delighted that you are so happy with us. We will take on board your comments re written information and will ascertain exactly what information, in addition to the daily activities and entertainment schedule, would be of use.
As a retired care manager, I cannot rate Holbrook Hall highly enough. My mother can be a difficult person to deal with, very critical and determined to have her own way. She herself says "it's very nice here" and "the food is lovely". That is praise from her! The carers are patient and tolerant and treat each resident with the dignity they should have. Individual care needs are addressed and provided for.
It is always good to get feedback from 'care professionals', and we are delighted to have received such a glowing review.
Holbrook Hall's love and care for the residents is second to none. The management are organised and thorough in maintaining an enjoyable, safe and caring environment.
The staff arrange regular day-outs and fun activities for all guests and always keep it inclusive. They have lovely grounds on the edge of the Peaks.
We are delighted to receive such a lovely review, thank you very much indeed.
Everything is perfect.

Thank you for all you do for my aunt; it is much appreciated.
We love having your wonderful aunt at Holbrook Hall. She settled in quickly and is really enjoying the company along with all the activities and entertainment provided. Thank you for taking the time to provide such a positive review.
I will have no hesitation in moving my mum into Holbrook Hall when the time is right, it really is home from home. The management team is excellent and I feel this shows in all areas. Throughout Covid the staff only ever put the residents first, keeping the residents safe was upmost priority.
Holbrook Hall is a family-run home and this shines through in all aspects of care.
The home is friendly, welcoming and clean with fabulous grounds and superb rooms.
Thank you for providing us with such a lovely review, it is much appreciated.
It’s always a pleasure to visit my friend at Holbrook Hall. The staff and management are always so welcoming and helpful. My friend really enjoys living there and describes it as a ‘home from home’. She enjoys the camaraderie with the other residents and the care she receives from the staff. Holbrook Hall is a special place to be at this time in her life.
We are delighted that you are so happy with our Home and thank you for taking the time to review our service.
Holbrook Hall has been a centre of excellence for my mother, who moved there nearly 7-years ago. The standard of care has been truly outstanding, and I have no hesitation whatsoever recommending this lovely home to others. Well done, Holbrook, and all the wonderful care staff whose love and attention to my mum was so very appreciated.
It was a privilege and a pleasure to care for your lovely mum over the last seven years. She is sadly missed but very fondly remembered. Thank you so much for the glowing review; it is greatly appreciated.
Since my stay at Holbrook Hall I have been weel cared for and look forward to staying here as long as required.
It is a real pleasure having you stay with us at Holbrook Hall, thank you for taking the time to review our service.
For the past 2 and a half years my auntie has been a resident at Holbrook Hall where she has the utmost care from professional staff on all levels. I might also add the wonderful way in which they acted all through the Covid lockdown last year by keeping our loved ones safe. So I would like to say a massive thank you to all.
Thank you for your lovely review, it is much appreciated.
Holbrook Hall is excellent! Staff are always happy and extremely helpful. My friend settled into the routine and absolutely loves the great food provided. Its gardens are very well cared for and residents and visitors, like myself, love being sat outside. Management are always hands-on in the home and work hard to make sure everything is perfect! It's like a five-star hotel! Well done!
Thank you so very much for your lovely review. We are delighted that your lovely friend, and her cat, have both settled in so well!
I just wanted to say to all the staff and management at Holbrook Hall, how reassured I have felt that my family member has been safe and well cared for during these unprecedented times. 5-stars to you all, I can't thank you enough.
Your 5 stars are very much appreciated! Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service, these are indeed very challenging times and we are very grateful to have remained COVID free.
I have been in the care home for only three months and settled in very well. Although the virus has made life very difficult, the care has made life as easy as possible, very friendly.
Covid-19 has indeed made life very difficult for us all, lets hope we get a vaccine soon!! Thank you for taking the time to review our service and I am really glad that you are happy to have made the move.
I really like it here, quite happy.
It is a real pleasure to have you here at Holbrook Hall and we are delighted that you have settled in so well. Thank you for making us smile every day!!!
I came to visit my friend in Holbrook Hall. Whilst I was there I did a quiz for them, which they all enjoyed. I found the staff very friendly and welcoming, with a cup of coffee and biscuits, the atmosphere was very calming.
Thank you for your lovely review and we look forward to welcoming you back to Holbrook Hall for more quizzes just as soon as our 'social distancing' measures are relaxed.
This is a very professionally run care home. Management always on hand to chat to, staff attentive to residents and always caring. Well done. We have visited Holbrook Hall on many occasions and the standard is always the same. Well done to you all.
Thank you so much for providing such a positive review, it is greatly appreciated.
My aunt has been a resident at Holbrook Hall for a while now and the level of care she is receiving is second to none. All of the staff I have had contact with are exceptional and the way in which she is cared for, I could not be happier or more grateful. They really do care about their residents. I highly recommend Holbrook Hall.
It is a real pleasure to have your lovely aunt to stay with us and I am delighted that you are so pleased with the care which we are providing. Thank you for taking the time to review our service.
Holbrook Hall is wonderful! I could not recommend this place enough. The care and attention that the staff gives to my mum has been brilliant. Also, in light of everything that’s going on at the moment, the home has taken some excellent preventive measures to keep the home Coronavirus free, which has really taken a weight off of my mind. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you all put in, it’s very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the lengths which we have gone to in order to keep our Home safe from Covid-19 and for taking the time to complete the review.
As well as closing the home to non-essential visitors very early, the manager has communicated with us really well and outlined all the protocols in place to keep the residents safe and well. On phone calls with my aunt she tells me how wonderful the team are and how well looked-after she feels.
Auntie often chooses not to take part in the many activities on offer but she was gently persuaded to join in with the VE Day afternoon tea in the garden recently and she obviously had a great time because she can't stop talking about it! Well done to all there for involving her - when I looked at the pictures and video and saw her smiling and laughing it made me cry very happy tears!
I have visited a lot of care homes in my time and can honestly say that Holbrook Hall is the absolute best.
Reading your lovely comments brought a tear to my eye too! Thank you so much for your glowing testimonial, it has made our day!

Dr Jaspal Swalli is the Registered Provider and Medical Director for Fairway Homes (Derby) Ltd. He is a Registered Medical Doctor with the General Medical Council and a Consultant Psychiatrist. He has been a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists since 2012.
He comes with values of integrity, care, compassion and ethics. He is a specialist in acute and urgent care pathways within adult mental health services and has expertise in the management of mentally disordered offenders, substance misuse, personality disorder, dual diagnosis and dementia. At the heart of Dr Swalli ‘s work is to provide psychoeducation to service users, carers and families to tackle the stigma and discrimination around mental health issues. He is an expert in applying Mental Health and Mental Capacity Act Laws.

I have worked in adult social care for over 38 years, beginning my career as a Night Care Assistant. I developed skills both through life experiences and academic studies in health and social care which enabled me to progress to the role of a Deputy Manager and onto a Registered Manager, which I have been for over 8 years.
I believe that the key to managing a great care home is sound leaderships skills, excellent communication and candour and that anything is possible with risk management. I have bult solid professional relationships with residents and their families and external professional services.
Working in adult care is wonderful and I feel it is a privilege and honour that the residents at Holbrook Hall have allowed me into their lives. I work closely with staff and the residents so that their goals and milestones are achievable and help them to make magical memories they thought would be impossible, possible.

I am a dedicated Team Leader at Holbrook Hall, driven by a genuine passion for supporting and enriching the lives of older adults. While completing my full-time doctoral research in Chemistry, I worked as a part-time carer in the UK, gaining valuable experience across adult education, research, teaching, and the care sector. These combined experiences, together with my health and social care qualifications, have strengthened my professional practice and helped me build strong, trusting relationships with residents, families, professionals, and my care team.
My PhD research focused on developing neurosensors for brain-tumour detection and targeted drug delivery. Although my academic background is highly scientific, I find the greatest fulfilment in delivering compassionate, person-centred care.
Supporting elderly individuals who rely on our help brings me deep purpose and joy, and continues to inspire my commitment to adult care.
