The care and attention devoted to my mother, especially in her last few weeks of her life, was very good. The Hollies also provide many activities for the residents in their care, and arrangements can be made to use the company's own vehicles to give them a day out locally for a change of scenery. Overall,
well recommended..

I was very pleased to have my mum at The Hollies. I believe my mum was well looked after and was in the best care home in the area. The Hollies is like a 5-star hotel. It's a little expensive, but as it was my mother's money, only the best care for her in my mothers last years mattered. I like to thank
you for looking after my mother with great care. Thank you from all of us.

From the staff to the facilities provided, the care given is of the highest standard. On arriving at The Hollies I was made to feel very welcome and my friend who I was visiting was in very high spirits. I feel this was due to the environment he is living in and the fabulous staff that keeps him smiling.
I look forward to my next visit.

My mother was lucky enough to call The Hollies her home for the last four years of her life. The care that she received from every member of staff irrespective of their role was outstanding. In addition to the care that mum received, there was always time made for me by the staff if and when I needed
it this was invaluable. It is true to say that there could have been no better place during those years for mum to call home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 49 yr old friend was admitted for end of life care. It was hard to have a younger person, but they immediately 'sussed' her and her individual needs. They did not 'gripe' when she became angry and impatient (quite understandable given her diagnosis). They provided physical and emotional support meeting
all of her requirements. She died peacefully and not alone, a member of the team stayed with her when I needed to return home. Thank you.

From the first time of entering, The Hollies felt like home. Everyone was happy, friendly and thoroughly professional. My mum was treated with love and care. Nothing was too much trouble, no matter what. The care Mum received was to the highest standard. Throughout her stay, the staff not only cared
about Mum but the whole family. I cannot praise them enough for their love, laughter and thoughtfulness. Mum had the best care possible, and I will always be thankful I found The Hollies.

Gran came to live in the home at the age of 97, she spent nearly three years at The Hollies. The Hollies are an amazing bunch of individuals and their care has been gold standard. Gran enjoyed life in The Hollies. The activities, days out, every part of life. Gran was treated like the Queen. At the
end, they treated Gran with compassion. For us as a family, The Hollies were our family.

The Hollies offer a level of care that far exceeds my expectations. In her short time at The Hollies, my mother has improved in so many ways. She eats fantastic food (she has gained weight). Her mobility has improved greatly. She has assistance at any time of the day or night should she require. She
has enjoyed arts and crafts, watching movies with other residents. All of the carers are friendly, patient, and understanding and the level of care throughout this time with COVID-19 has been truly superb.

When looking for a care home for my wife we found that out of all the homes we saw The Hollies stood out as being very professional but with a feeling of homeliness. This has not altered since my wife's admission, in fact, she looks better than she was at home. The staff are always friendly and are
most helpful.

Review from Suzanna H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 22 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From start to finish the staff were so friendly and helpful. Living abroad, I often needed to call my Grandma as means of communication. Sometimes my Grandma would struggle to hear or answer the phone so whenever I called the main number to ask for help they were so accommodating and never made me feel
like it was a burden or adding to their already busy workload. My Grandma was not well when she was taken in, but just after a few weeks of loving care at The Hollies, she built up so much strength she was able to enjoy many more months than had initially been diagnosed by the hospital. Finally, when visiting before and after the pandemic the home was professional, friendly and a happy environment to be in, always with a happy and positive buzz in the air. Would very much recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother moved into The Hollies on palliative care from hospital in October 2019.
We were told in hospital she only has a few weeks left. We sadly lost her in May 2020, seven months later!
I feel this speaks absolute volumes in regards to the care The Hollies deliver.
The home has such a wonderful
atmosphere as soon as you walk in there is always a beautiful flower arrangement on the entrance table which made it so welcoming.
The staff are friendly, caring and upbeat, I knew my grandmother was in good hands.
Sadly my grandmother passed away during the Coronavirus outbreak, which meant we weren’t able to say our goodbyes in person.
We all found this incredibly difficult.
The Hollies decided to lockdown the care home before many others did so which is why I’m sure they have remained safe.
They are extremely cautious ensuring all staff wear the correct PPE and follow strict guidelines which has filled our family, and I’m sure all the other relatives of residents, with such confidence.

It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do to place my dad who has Alzheimers in respite care. The Hollies were amazing, the carers helped us and dad to make the whole thing a great experience. My dad was in respite for 5 weeks, he was very happy, very secure and continually stimulated.
As a relative,
I was always made to feel welcome and assured of dad's wellbeing. I cannot recommend The Hollies and staff enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.656) out of 10 for The Hollies 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.656 for The Hollies is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.656
  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 The Hollies is based on 19 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
