Holmlea Care Home

Holmlea is a perfect environment for my mam - she has Alzheimer's and dementia- she was very anxious and angry when on her own in sheltered accommodation & needed company all the time - at Holmlea they have a lovely lounge where they all sit together, have activities and entertainment regularly- the carers are always at hand with a happy smile & gentle assurance that all is well - even though my mam can be very angry and awkward at times they are always patient & understanding - 10 out of 10 for me!

Thank You

Thank you to all who work at Holmlea care home

My father has been looked after with great kindness and consideration for four years at Holmlea, (and my mother too before her death). He is very restricted by frailty, but the staff always make time to have a cheery word or to talk when passing his room. The food is home cooked and tasty, and everywhere is always spotlessly clean. Many of the staff have been there a long time, and their continuity with the residents must help create a more homely atmosphere. Communication is good when anything out of the ordinary happens.

It is really hard to put into words how grateful I am for all the care and kindness everyone showed to my aunt while she was at Holmlea. Everyone knew her so well and accepted her after contanlerors and rude behaviour, yet still did everything they could to make her time better. All the staff allowed her to be herself and made the most of the home when she accepted help graciously. Everyone kept her well fed and cared for and allowed her to retain her dignity. The staff at Holmlea are a group of very special people.

During end of life for dad the staff were magnificent couldn't ask for anymore absolutely recommend Holmea care home .

We thank them from the bottom of our hearts there is no agency staff so everyone knows each and every one of the residents so if friendly caring and homely is what you're after ring Holmlea .

A truly amazing place that my dad stayed, the staff were second to none , so friendly and helpful and so caring towards him, so glad my sister found this home as the two other homes he stayed just neglected him , food was amazing for him and the staff couldn't do enough for any family member that visited , especially caring toward the end of my dads life, all I can say is I'm so thankful to you all and deserve medals for what you do, thank you so much , five stars all the way

They communicate well regarding any issues. I like the relaxed atmosphere in Homelea and the attention given to residents when they need it. The day rooms are bright and well furnished with TV programmes to watch should they want to. Communications are good and the staff are very helpful and kind. I know they have activities but have been there for only one - Hogmond - most enjoyable those who joined in.

I highly recommend Holmlea Care Home to anyone seeking quality care for their loved ones.

My auntie has been a resident at Holmlea for over two years. Whenever I visit with my family, we always have a warm welcome from the wonderful team of carers. I live over 100 miles away and so can't visit every week. I take comfort in the knowledge of the consistent high standard of care that I witness when I am able to visit. Thank you Holmlea.

Thank you Holmlea, you are amazing.

Everyone is also very welcoming to visitors making them feel part of the family member's new life. Massive thank you to all.

My husband moved into Holmlea Care Home on 04/09/23. He was well-supported in adjusting to leaving home. Some weeks later the need for hospital emergency admission. The team at Holmlea were very caring and supportive of my husband and I and our daughters. While we waited for the ambulance we were made comfortable and offered drinks. It was my birthday (83) I'd brought a cake to share. The staff couldn't have done enough to help us.

My mum has received the best care possible from everyone at Holmlea, they are like family to us now. Thank you for treating my mum with such care and dignity. If my mum was able, she would thank you from the bottom of her heart.

Myself and husband could not have wished for better and would thoroughly recommend Holmlea without hesitation to any prospective resident.

My brother became a resident at Holmlea Care Home in the summer of 2021. Since his arrival, he has been treated with dignity and respect by both care staff and the management. He suffers from vascular dementia and as his condition deteriorates every effort is made to help him feel safe and secure in his environment. As a frequent visitor, I find it reassuring to note the positive relationships which have been fostered between my brother and his carers. There is close liaison between management and a local General Practice and this has resulted in my brother's physical and mental health being closely monitored - an important aspect of his care. He is encouraged to take part in organised activities but allowed to withdraw if he wishes. To quote my brother - they look after me well here.

One of the things that really impressed me was that during the recent very cold weather was that the owner personally spoke to all the residents to see if they were warm enough, and if not, he went out and got them a heater - not many owners would do that. This home is really family-orientated. The staff are very helpful and caring.

Holmlea, the name says how it is. My mum lived here just short of 3yrs, the day she moved until the day she sadly passed away (Oct 2020) she was made very comfortable and was very happy at Holmlea. That was down to every member of staff from domestic to manager, they are all bright and bubbly, and at a sad time, as it is 'Covid-19' I was unable to take Mum out for our Saturday morning visit to the park. The staff made up for this with Mum in the home. So a big thank you Holmlea! The directors should be very proud of their wonderful staff there.

Decor and building slightly outdated. Staff very friendly and efficient. Quality of food is excellent. Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with promptly.
