Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
From the moment Mum moved into Holly House, she has been treated with care and dignity. Her room is made to feel like her space, and she has made a very special friend in the shared space in the lounge/dining room who she now considers part of her family, which is a very special bond, especially at
this time for everyone. Any medical situation is dealt with immediately and professionally, and the family is kept informed at all times. We have regular video calls if we can't visit as often as I live abroad. I highly recommend Holly House as a safe and happy home

I am very pleased with care given to my dad. He can be very difficult at times, but all efforts are made to treat him with dignity and respect. I moved my dad to Holly House Residential Home from a previous care home where he really struggled to settle. Holly House is great for him and us. Also the
food is very good. I have eaten here several times myself.

I was very satisfied with the care my mother received. She had complex care issues and the staff were always very kind and caring towards her. I felt that she was very safe and cared for. She was well fed and the staff took time to make sure she ate her food. The only improvement I can suggest is to
have more staff at very busy times.

Holly House staff have cared wonderfully for my relatives these last three and a half years. She has been treated with kindness and consideration throughout and with particular care for her own special needs and condition. We, her family, have always been made very welcome. This is a very welcoming

The owners and staff at Holly House have provided unparalleled care for my poor mum. Her dementia has made her quite challenging to care for, but the carers have been infinitely patient and kind to her. Her physical needs are taken care of; she is being properly fed and has put on some weight; her overall
condition is much improved. My wife and I looked at several local care homes in preparation for this day and Holly House was by far the best in our opinion.

The staff at Holly House Residential Home are always so friendly and helpful. Mum is always happy to see them.
The coronation party was wonderful. Mum really enjoyed it. It prompted memories of the last coronation when Mum was in London.
I would recommend Holly House Residential Home to anyone requiring
elderly care. Mum really enjoys the food that is prepared.

Our aunt has particular needs having had a stroke. The staff are always caring and considerate, responding to her needs. She has communication issues and mobility. Staff are keeping us informed of her status if we are unable to visit. The care home has welcomed us as visitors, holding events for us
to share with my aunt which have given us lots of happy memories.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother was transferred to Holly House in October 2022 from hospital.
My mother passed away near the beginning of March 2023.
She was in her 90s very frail, not weight bearing, and had Dementia.
During the time my mother was a resident at Holly House, there was nothing that the carers wouldn’t
do for my mother.
The kindness and love shown was way beyond what I expected.
I was able to visit at any time during the day it didn’t matter if it was lunchtime, toileting time, or teatime.
I was always welcome.
The food was also very nutritious and enjoyed by my mother.
The owners of Holly House were very mindful of their residents getting infections, all visitors, staff, and medical professionals had to perform a COVID test before entering Holly House.
I can’t praise this care home enough for the care they gave my mother.
The owners and carers were superb.
Thank you.

Outstanding in many ways. We moved our mother into the facility at the end of last year. The bedroom is new with a very functional en-suite. Facility is maintained very well and kept very clean. There is a nice conservatory which looks out onto the gardens. Nothing is too much trouble. Very attentive
and caring staff. I would highly recommend this care home.

During the pandemic my mum was taken into Holly House. How lucky was I, as they have been wonderful to my precious mum. The manager always has time to talk with you and I have found all the staff welcoming. The home itself is lovely and clean and very homely. I could not have picked a better home for
my mum.

I cannot recommend Holly House highly enough. The management and the staff all went above and beyond in caring for our mother. We chose Holly House after extensive research and were extremely happy with the outcome. It was a difficult decision to move our Mum to a care facility but it was the right
decision at the right time and the team did not let us down.

We really couldn’t have chosen a better home for our dad! He is so very lucky to be cared for by the staff and management at Holly House. Each member of staff knows my dad well and understands his individual needs and requirements, they adapt the care to make him comfortable and relaxed. I know my
father is treated with dignity as I have witnessed this. Caring for people with dementia isn’t easy and even when challenges have arisen, the staff have done everything possible to assist my dad and maintain his safety and well-being. Particularly through lockdown I know the management have gone above and beyond to protect the residents and staff of the care home and I can’t thank them enough for this. The facilities are constantly being updated to enhance the experience for residents. As a family we spent a lot of time visiting care homes before making our choice, we definitely made the right one!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.498)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.498) out of 10 for Holly House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.798 for Holly House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.798
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holly House Residential Home is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 7 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
