Review from Sheila H (Respite Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In the two months I was in respite care, I felt overall I thrived in Holcroft Grange, whilst offering my support, I was given as much independence as possible to allow me to retain my facilities to be able to return to my new apartment. I am grateful for everything Holcroft gave to me under good leafers.
As my son said at the end of my 2 month stay, he was pleased to get his mum back.
Thank you.

Mum came into Holcroft Grange for respite in mid June and is still there now. This is her first time in respite and it's fair to say that the staff have been caring, supportive, professional and friendly to mum and indeed our extended family during this time. We have found them responsive to queries,
patient and informative. The home is clean, calm and has a variety of facilities to cater for different needs. Mum settled in well and is enjoying the activities and is joining in but there is always a place you can find if you prefer a quieter environment.

After a lengthy hospital admission, the staff at Holcroft Grange supported the transition from hospital to residential care fully with facilitating preadmission visits, informal look around to mum-in-law spending a day and then having a trial week (which actually never ended as she elected to stay!)
Since coming to Holcroft Grange mum-in-law has flourished which is a joy to see.

Holcroft Grange has provided a safe, friendly, warm and caring environment for my mother since her arrival six months ago. The level of care she receives is superb, the staff are kind and attentive, there is all kinds of activities going on every day based in Holcroft and the local area, plus coach
trips out. I can honestly say that Holcroft has given me peace of mind when it comes to the care and safety of my mother.

My dad is at Holcroft Grange - been there for over a year. He is very happy and living life to the full. The entertainment is fantastic, seems to be something on every day. The staff are very caring and give him the support as and when he needs. As a family we are very happy with Dad being at HG as

I cannot rate this home highly enough. The level of care received by my mum was truly that of a family standard, the staff don't just do their job, they genuinely care. I only wish we had found this place sooner to give Mum even more happy memories.

During Mum's time at Holcroft Grange, the staff have gone from reliable, regular full-time staff to mostly agency staff who cannot build rapport with the residents. This is significant as is the deterioration in the quality and variety of food on offer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father has been a resident of Holcroft Grange since June 2018. All of the staff (carers, cleaners, managers, handyman, chefs and activities coordinator) are amazing providing a high level of care. There are lots of activities provided weekly and trips out. There is access to a hairdresser, podiatrist
and GP within the care home. The food is excellent and residents are personally seen each day by the chef to note down their choices from that day’s menu. One of the day rooms has been converted into a 1950’s reminiscence room. The manager is always available to discuss any situations and works hard to address and rectify any concern raised. Recently it was my Father’s birthday and the activities coordinator arranged a tea party for my Father and relatives to enjoy which was excellent. I would highly recommend Holcroft Grange to anyone who finds themselves in the same stressful and emotional situation I did over a year ago of having to find a new “home” for your loved one.

Review from Helen W (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Holcroft Grange since November 2017, as a result of her inability to care for herself due to her Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in January 2013.
Although Mum is now very confused and infirm, she is treated with the utmost kindness by all the staff there. They all do
their very best to try and keep the residents as happy and contented as possible, under what must be very difficult circumstances at times. I have the utmost respect for ALL the staff.
They are always cheerful and friendly, both with the residents and their relatives/visitors and I have only ever seen them treat the residents with complete dignity and respect. The residents are regularly treated to entertainment from singers and musicians, together with regular visits from the local nursery and school children. There are weekly craft sessions, low key keep fit sessions etc.
I would thoroughly recommend Holcroft Grange to anyone who is considering long term care for their elderly relative.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.773)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.773) out of 10 for Holcroft Grange 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.773 for Holcroft Grange is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.773
  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 Holcroft Grange is based on 10 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 10 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.
