I think that there has been an overall improvement in standards at Holme Lea with the current manager however, staff shortages continue to be a problem.

My mother has dementia and Alzheimer's. I took her into Holme Lea in May 2018. Mum took a long time to settle but the staff were extremely caring throughout this period. Nowaday's mum is a happy, bubbly person. I have not seen her this relaxed and cheerful for several years. Before mum was not very sociable, now she is enjoying other people's company and joining in the activities. Thank you so much for encouraging mum and supporting mum when she feels low.

Holme Lea has improved considerably over the latter half of the year. It has always been homely and provided good facilities - several lounges, break out areas and lovely enclosed garden but they had become tired and run down but I am pleased to say these are now back to a good standard. The new manager has put a good strategy in place to improve communication, staffing shortages and the health and welfare of the residents. There is consistency with the staffing now and they are very good with the residents looking after them as individuals.
The standard of care is good. The staff are very helpful and attentive to the residents. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

Sorry to have seen so many dedicated carers leave in a short time. I visit during the mornings and always feel welcomed by the staff. Attention to Dad's overall appearance could be better but I understand he can be difficult at times. This I find quite upsetting knowing how proud he used to be.

Staff are caring and kind. The only criticism I have is that it takes a long time for any changes to be made eg getting my mother-in-law's dietary requirements to be reassessed.

Mum has been here a few times. She enjoys it. The staff are friendly and approachable, mum was in for a week at the end of June/July 2018. She was very comfortable, clean and looked after very well. We would recommend this place and will use again in the future.

I struggle to get to see Mum on a weekly basis due to work commitments but I know she couldn't be in safer hands.
Thank you.

Very good, very caring. Happy with how the home is. Only thing is that my wife likes to have more conversations with people so more activities would be good, like chat sessions. Staff brilliant.

My stay in Holmelea is due to my fall at home. The staff have been very kind and caring and are looking after me to the best of their abilities.

Managers and general staff are magical, just not enough. My father in law had a recent episode when he ended up in hospital, the girls were amazing. My one complaint, not enough girls.

Very pleased with the standard given to my mum during her short period of respite. Mum settled really well and was always happy - content when we visited. Will definitely recommend.

This was my first experience of visiting a care home and found the home and staff very friendly and helpful. They catered for my grandfather's every need, trying their best to make him feel at home and relaxed.

What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?
“I believe that kind of care means seeing our Residents smile, giving support when needed and supporting not only Residents but Relatives too.”Craig has gained many years’ experience in providing care and support to older people, to enrich their lives. He is a knowledgeable and committed leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards of care and quality of life for Residents.
Craig joined Holme Lea as Home Manager because he closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every Resident. He extends this caring approach to his colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.
He also works hard to arrange events and activities with nearby schools and clubs and is always keen to include the local community in life at Holme Lea.
When asked what he enjoys most about his role, Craig remarked: “I love that I have a very hard-working team who genuinely care about our Residents.”
Away from work, Craig loves nothing more than going to the theatre, swimming and long drives.
