The Hollies

I am very pleased with the care that my mum is receiving at The Hollies. I looked at a lot of homes before choosing The Hollies. I felt that they offered the most, including going on trips and having entertainment in house. The rooms are very nice and I was able to bring lots of mum's personal belongings to make her room individual to her. Of course the care is the most important consideration, the staff all care for mum very well. She says she is happy here and they treat my mum with dignity and respect while still being friendly, they see the individual person in there own right.

Very caring staff. There are always plenty of activities for residents to join in if they wish. The environment is friendly and everywhere seems fresh when you walk in with no smells. The food is mixed sometimes very good and other times poor but management seem to be addressing this.

Following a diagnosis of terminal cancer, mum was admitted to The Hollies for palliative care.

Over the next 10 months her condition became extremely complex with the development of vascular dementia.

The team at The Holliies provided a faultless service, and in spite of the difficult challenges mum presented, were always one step ahead in finding a solution.

I work within the medical profession and am fully aware of how things should be done. The Hollies put all the theory into practice and far more.

If you are looking for a nursing home that provides all you could hope or wish for for your loved one, look no further.

In my opinion, you won't find better in the county.

A big thank you to the manager and all his team!

My father is very well cared for in The Hollies. We find the vast majority of staff very good, the home is very clean and food good. The activities people in particular are lovely and try very hard to make residents and guests welcome. I would highly recommend the home to others.

Stayed for two weeks respite with my husband whilst my daughter recovered form a foot operation. I would never have dreamt that I would ever stay in a nursing home, but I was totally surprised by how wonderful it was. The staff were wonderful so kind and caring, nothing was too much trouble. I had a lovely bath which I had not managed to do for a very long time. The facilities were amazing just like a hotel. We would certainly stay again, and are thinking about trying a care home, either short or long term. I would certainly recommend The Hollies.

My wife was semi paralysed and could not speak due to a stroke. When nurses and staff were attending to her they were caring, gentle and efficient. My wife was prone to pain and vomiting. On two occasions I found her covered in vomit and no one around to report this to. As a previous carer, I was able on the first occasion, to clean and change her nightdress. Second time I found help. I asked for a meeting of nurses and asked for 1/2 hour visits. Also when people passed the door to look and listen in. This was agreed and I was content.

My mother was in The Hollies for 8 and a half months, I could not fault the care she received. It is a wonderful home from home.

The care team were fantastic both day and night. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff were always cheerful, caring and treated my mother like a member of the family. The owner, took the time and trouble to get to know my mother during her stay, which she was very impressed with. She would definitely return again, very highly recommended.
