Holmewood is located on the outskirts of the busy town of Chesterfield, nestled at the heart of the community alongside its sister home, Barnfield.
Holmewood prides itself on the care and attention given to residents and their families. Carers concentrate on getting to know residents and their families, enabling staff to look after physical needs and more importantly delivering what emotional support residents and their family might need.
The home understands that choosing a care home is one of the most difficult decisions a family member or advocate can make and are there to help families through that decision, through the move-in and beyond.
Holmewood Care Home also offers excellent activities, which provide stimulation and engagement to all residents. The home's activities coordinator works with individuals to ensure that they are offered activities that will suit each person. Sometimes, this means that one-to-one activities are more appropriate than group activities.
Along with the excellent care offered by very experienced teams, significant support is offered to family members too. Other seminars are around funding care, lasting power of attorney or where end-of-life care takes place and discussing wishes and wants with loved ones.

Very happy here. The day we arrived, another resident said to us 'he'll be happy here," and she was right. Entertainment very good, and everyone included regardless of ability. Doesn't complain about the food, and he's a fussy eater. Lots of lovely cake!! The staff inspire confidence. Very attentive to the needs of the residents.
thank you for your lovely review, glad he enjoys the cakes and i will inform the catering staff on how much he enjoys them
The care and cooperation is outstanding friendly staff. My wife is very happy here and up to now very well looked after. Entertainment is more than adequate. My opinion is that the care home is well run.

This was short term emergency respite care, I have always been apprehensive about using this service, however, it surpassed my expectations. The allocated room was nicely furnished with its own toilet and sink and very clean. I found the management and staff to be very friendly, kind, caring and...
I cannot thank the Manager and her team enough for the kindness they have shown to mum.
The only improvement I could suggest would be intermittent air fresheners strategically placed.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure having your Mum stay with us for a short time.

Both my father in law and mother in law had been living at Holmewood Care Home this year until both of them passed away. The care they both recieved was 100%. Nothing is to much trouble for the carers, even when both of them were on palliative care, they would watch them right to the end. The entertainment lady is so good with the residents, taking them out on outings, doing things in the home with them, singing in the rooms when poorly. Also the manager in the home will do anything to help, always comes around to speak to the residents and puts a lot of work into the home. I would highly recommend this home. The cleaners do the rooms everyday.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it has been a pleasure to look after your father in law and mother in law. They will both be sadly missed in the home by staff and other residents. We will pass your comments back to the team.
My father is a resident, he has been at Holmewood Care Home since February 2024 and settled immediately thanks to the lovely atmosphere and loving staff and carers. He is well cared for and seems genuinely happy and content. My Mum and I visit several times a week and he is always well dressed and...
Cannot fault the dedication of the staff, they work so hard.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it is a pleasure having your Dad in the home, he always brightens the day, really enjoy your visits when you come. I will pass your feedback on to the team.

I have been working here since summer 2023 but I have over 10 years of experience in activities and care. I am an NVQ 3 qualified, fire trainer instructor and I have a degree in pedagogy & psychology. I can sing, and play the guitar and my favourite activity is a fun singalong. My proudest achievement in this role is winning 1st place for the tastiest cake in a cake-making activity. In my spare time, I also like to take photographs. You will see some of these pictures on our Facebook page. My biggest passion in life is volunteering for charities supporting children in need.

My passion for care began when I used to visit my grandma who was in Holmewood Care Home, I got to know the manager who saw something in me and suggested a career in care, I wasn’t sure if I could do it but she encouraged me to give it try and I have never looked back.
I started as a care assistant 25 years ago and gradually worked my way through the different roles in the home, becoming a deputy in 2014 and then manager in 2022, an achievement I am really proud of.
Every day is so rewarding, when new resident arrives, they can start off scared and unsettled so the challenge is to make them feel at home and like part of the family, when you see them transform and thrive, it makes it all worthwhile.
My qualifications include NVQ levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Health & Social Care and management.
