We were very satisfied with the level of care Mother received for her three-week respite care. The staff were kind and knowledgeable and treated Mother with dignity. The home was very well run and nothing was too much trouble.

Review from Stephen M (Respite Resident) published on 13 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home was very nice and clean. I was recovering from having steel rods fitted in my leg and arm and was initially not very mobile. I was very well looked after and the staff were friendly and attentive.
The food was nice and varied and nothing was too much trouble.
I was glad to leave after spending
the month in the hospital and then three weeks there but that was more the call of my home not the experience there.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the home for elderly or infirm family and friends.

Thank you for your review of the home, it was a pleasure to be able to care for you. We all hope that you are continuing your recovery in the comfort of your own home.

I find Holly House a very nice, friendly place. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed. It is very light and airy. Having the animals outside just adds more character to the home and relaxing to watch. The rooms are clean and tidy and ensure, which is a bonus.

Mum came to Holly House following a three-week hospital stay. She was made to feel very welcome immediately and even though she arrived at 7pm in the evening, the staff were very patient and understanding with her as she adjusted to the change. All the staff are very cheerful, sympathetic and understanding
and Mum was able to settle quickly. Holly House has a very homely feel and we know Mum has been in safe hands.

Thank you for your review, we all hope that Mum is settling well and that she has now managed to go home.

Firstly my aunt feels ok here, she is happy. I find the staff very approachable and helpful and very kind. I also like the fact that whenever we visit at any time it is no problem. They always inform us if anything has changed with her. We know she is safe and looked after. All the ladies are so kind

Review from Andrea F (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was discharged from the hospital to Holly House after an operation until he was able to go back home. There was uncertainty about how long he would be resident at Holly House due to circumstances beyond anyone's control but that didn't matter to the staff at all.
I visited dad on a number
of occasions between 21st January and 25th February and I have to say I was immensely impressed. The rooms were comfortable, all areas were very clean, security was spot on and the staff were all great! Communication was also key and Holly House's staff were on point.
Thank you for caring so much! Dad wasn't ill but had to stay in residential care regardless, you all made him so welcome and my brothers and I appreciate it, as does dad who told me to mark as excellent!
Reply from Annette Hancock, Manager at Holly House Care Home

Thank you so much for your and your dad's kind words, it was a pleasure to be able to care for him. Hope he is getting on well now he has gone home.

Since Mum moved in here in December 2021, the care she has received has been excellent. The staff are very caring and supportive, and nothing is too much trouble. They are always on hand. We, as a family, appreciate everything they do to provide care in what we imagine is a challenging job sometimes!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.544)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.544) out of 10 for Holly House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.744 for Holly House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 90 Ratings = 4.744
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holly House Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 8 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.
