The Hollies is a homely residential care home set in a quiet suburb of Leeds.
They look after only 28 residents and provide them with the highest standard of care. The building is a Victorian property extended to create multiple large communal spaces on the ground floor and bedrooms over three floors. The Hollies has been in operation as a care home since the 1990s and is situated close to the local shops, churches and transport links.
Staff are recruited based on their values, are well trained and continually monitored by the home's management team. Being a smaller care home enables The Hollies to provide care that fits the needs of each individual resident, and understand their changing care needs on a day-to-day basis. The residents also get to know each staff member well, which builds familiarity and trust. Many staff have been with The Hollies for many years, which helps residents feel secure.
Great emphasis is placed on creating a pleasant, homely atmosphere for residents. Special attention is given to the happiness and individual requirements of all residents.
The Hollies has a visiting hairdresser, optician, dentist, chiropodist, district nurses and other health professionals. There is also a weekly 'ward round' with the GP.
The Hollies is highly regarded by both the local community and the medical profession.

My mother has been in The Hollies care home since December 2020, when it was nearing the end of the first lockdown, due to the Covid 19 pandemic. I myself have never been into the care home due to the national lockdown and stayed away from my mother until it was safer to visit her. When the restrictions were lifted, I was allowed to visit my mother but only as far as the conservatory which is situated at the end of the property. Following all the national guidelines. I can only comment on what I have seen from the conservatory and my mother's appearance, wellbeing and hygiene. I have observed that there seems to be a lack of stimulation and entertainment for the residents and I would love to see some of this in the near future. It must be a very long day from getting out of bed to back to bed just walking around or sitting in a chair, watching television. My mother seems disinterested in television and due to her being very introverted, she tends to sit back and do nothing.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. We hope that you will be able to visit more frequently, as the restrictions continue to lift. Prior to the pandemic, we had an activity timetable in place for our residents, including setting up trips out for them, however, this service was cancelled, due to the restrictions. Within the home, the staff undertake activities with our residents on a daily basis. These are usually short sessions due to the nature of the resident group and engagement. With the lifting of the restrictions, we have begun to invite people back into our home to provide entertainment and activities. Over the last few months, your Mum has taken part in activities led by staff which included singing and ball games. She has enjoyed weekly armchair aerobics provided by an external company. We are continuing to review the activity provision, trialling new providers to create a full activity timetable to meet the social needs of the residents within our care.

The Hollies is well run and I know that my father is safe and well cared for. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they always make me very welcome when I visit Dad. My father enjoys the food and it is varied with regular drinks and snacks throughout the day, in addition to the main meal at lunchtime. I'm always kept informed if there are any issues with Dad and it's never a problem getting through on the telephone, which is very important to a family member. We were all kept informed by phone of any changes to government guidelines during the pandemic.
The staff are all extremely caring and concerning when my mum is not feeling as good as usual. There is plenty for them to do to keep occupied. There is a good choice of food. The Hollies has recently changed ownership and they have brought lots of new ideas and activities.

Although the building is not modern inside, I gave found the staff becoming, knowledgeable about my father and very patient in their dealings with residents.

Experience superb! Nothing is too much trouble for The Hollies staff, who are at all times attentive and caring. This applies to both the physical care and the emotional needs of the residents who are treated like and looked upon as family. For the 17+ months she was there, I always knew that she was being looked after and her self-contentment was obvious when visiting, which I did 4 times a week. I even felt able to go on holiday with a clear conscience! I cannot recommend it too highly!

I have a passion for ensuring that person centred care is delivered to all that are living within the service I am employed in, as it is their home that we are working in. I promote residents’ independence as much as possible because “if you don’t use it you lose it”., and encourage the staff to work in the same way.
I train staff in dementia care techniques, such as if a resident becomes agitated or upset at times, this is probably a distress reaction and there is normally a reason as to why that person has become distressed. We then work out, as a team, why they are distressed and what their possible triggers are. We share what works and what hasn't, to better care for our residents.
The Hollie’s is such a homely home, and I look forward to coming to work every day as each day is never the same.
