Holly Tree Lodge

Having to move Mum from another home to Holly Tree, was made very smooth by all the lovely caring staff. During Mums time here she has been more settled. The home provides adequately for all mum's needs. There are ongoing improvements all the time, with the garden undergoing a major update at present, this will be lovely for the residents and visitors to enjoy when complete in the near future. There are activities ongoing most days to encourage residents to get involved in various things. Food is homemade and nutrition is taken seriously and well balanced. On the whole I feel the move has definately been of a positive for mum who seems much happier.

I cannot fault the care that is given to my mum, the staff here are absolutely amazing. I am so happy with Holly Tree Lodge.

Knowing my friend is so well looked after gives me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for quality care and a supportive environment for their loved ones. Thank you Holly Tree Lodge.

I also thank them for looking after my sister so well.

I am kept up to date with any issues and know I can ask questions if there is anything I am unsure of.

My mother has spent six years at Holly Tree Lodge, due to her advanced Alzheimer's. During her stay she received excellent and the home also took good care of my father when he visited. They communicated well with us and ensured Mum was always comfortable and clean. They cared for my mother up to her peaceful death, ensuring my brother and father were present as she passed. I would recommend this home for anyone suffering with dementia.

Although my dad has only been there a very short time (up to now) we think he's landed on his feet, so to speak. The staff have been polite, patient, nothing is too much trouble. Completely understanding and always willing to listen. Long may it last, we are all breathing a big sigh of relief. They are doing an amazing job with (challenging) residents in these unprecedented times. Many, many thanks from our family to them all.

When my mother’s dementia became so severe that she needed to go into a home, my sisters and I investigated many care homes in Derby. Our choice was unanimous and we opted for Holly Tree. When we visited the home we were even more convinced of our choice and have been really pleased ever since. Our mother resided at Holly Tree for 3 years before she sadly died there. Staff seemed genuinely fond of the residents and were always kind and caring. They kept in close communication with us and when my mum finally required end of life care they couldn’t have been better. Unfortunately, she died during COVID, which could have made visiting her at the end very difficult but the staff were brilliant! Mum was moved to a special room that we could enter directly from outside and staff ensured that her needs were met immediately. They were unobtrusive when we were there, yet kind and caring and sat with her at night so Mum was not alone. I couldn’t recommend the home and staff highly enough.

My mother went into Holly Tree in May 2018 due to having a stroke and dementia which was hard for us as a family to do. But I cannot fault the care that was given to my Mother. All the staff in the home were just great, couldn’t do enough for my mother and when I visited, I could see that she was being looked after so well. My mother took seriously ill in November 2019 and she was put onto End of Life Care and looked after in her room. The staff were amazing during her final days, they were there for my mother and her family, popping in all day long to say Hello and check on my mum, getting the District Nurses in when she needed them. When my mum passed, the home was amazing. All of the staff in Holly Tree deserve a medal. The care they gave and are still giving is just fantastic. Again, my family and I cannot thank you all enough, you helped so much in my Mum’s final months of life and she had a giggle with you all, so carry on the good work.

Lovely little home, very caring attitude. Can't fault the staff, always there to help with even the most minor things.

Would recommend this home to everybody with no hesitation at all.

Holly Tree Lodge is only as good as the staff that are employed, and with the staff that the owners employ you can not wish or ask for any better care, time and consideration which is shown to all residents.

The home itself is light and bright. My mums room is very nice and spotlessly clean. Her clothes are always clean and ironed well. The meals seem nice and my mum has put weight back on. All of the staff seem genuinely fond of residents and very patient. My only criticism would be that there are not enough activities to keep residents engaged and occupied although this may be due to lack of resources.

My mum has been in Holly Tree Lodge for over 2 years now. Throughout this time I have been pleased with the care my mum receives. All the staff I have encountered over this time have always been kind and considerate to both my mum and other residents. Recently I have noticed a few new members of staff and hopefully they will be just as professional as the previous members. The home is always clean and my mum's bedroom is always clean and fresh bedding is supplied daily.

When my dad was diagnosed with dementia and unable to care for himself it was a massive challenge to find suitable care - Holly Tree Lodge was the place that accepted dad for who he was and not just the difficulties he had and faced in the future. As his daughter living abroad the staff at Holly Tree Lodge are wonderful. I ring a couple of times a week and they always answer any questions and freely give accounts of what has been happening. I have trust in everything they do for dad and other people in their care. Would 100+10% recommend them.
