At Holt House admission is open to anyone irrespective of personal belief but the ethos of the home is Christian. Although not all staff are practising Christians, Holt House is run on Christian principles.
        
Care is enhanced by an awareness that people should be regarded holistically, which means their physical, spiritual and mental well-being are all cared for. With this in mind the care that is available has an input from the Home Chaplain who is an ordained minister.

This home accommodates older people, living in 3 units consisting of its own lounge and breakfast area. All single bedrooms each have en-suite facilities of a washbasin and toilet. Separate bathrooms with assisted mechanical aids are also situated on each suite.

There is a beautiful conservatory overlooking the gardens, which residents are encouraged to use.

Review from Revd Lisa B (Friend of Resident) published on 22 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Holt House is a tremendous place for someone wanting the best care for an elderly family member. I have a background in district nursing and care home work and I have been impressed by the care provided. It is just the right size to function like a community, its care managers are excellent and the
staff in general have that particular blend of kindness, professionalism and attention to detail that makes it possible for an older person to lose some control to others after a life of busy independence. During my time as the local Anglican parish priest (13 years) many parishioners have 'sent' beloved relatives there, and a small team from church visits Holt House regularly to lead short services. Given our long-term involvement it would be impossible for us to not know the truth about the kind of care that residents receive. As successive church members have moved in over time I have witnessed at first hand the way that the current staff enable them to cope with the change, and thereafter address every aspect of their needs. The results of living there, in terms of both resident and family satisfaction, have been consistently good. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Holt House 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.839 for Holt House is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.839
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holt House is based on 19 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 19 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.

Julie Garrity

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2020

I'm Julie, the registered manager at Holt House. I have worked in the care industry from leaving college, working my way up from a nursing assistant to a home manager level.


I have been a home manager for over 15 years and I am passionate about giving our residents the love and support they deserve.


It is a privilege to work in our resident's home.


A quirky fact is I collect tattoos- like them or loathe them they are always a talking point for the residents :)
