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.

It is very reassuring knowing that our mum is safe, happy, cared for and loved by the lovely staff, carers and housekeeping. There is always something in the pipeline, such as trips out, entertainment and having fun. A big thank you to you all.

My mam has been in her four weeks now, she was very unsettled at first but three weeks on, she's settled very well. All her family are very appreciative for the very good care that mam is getting, she is a lot better in her health and well being.

The atmosphere is very welcoming and the majority of people I meet all seem to be quite content and the staff seem to get along with each other as a team, doing the best they can for the residents. Personally, I love to hear soft music playing as it creates a homely environment which was absent in other homes I go to.
Thank you for your kind words.
Christmas Day was as near to a normal family Christmas as anyone could hope for. All of the staff were marvellous.

It was a joy to see the residents laughing and joining in with entertainment supplied by the staff. (Definitely beyond the expectations and requirements of their duties).

I have been very pleased with the overall standard of care my mother-in-law has received. The staff have the patience of a saint and go out of their way to make the resident's life as good as can be.

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.
