Review from Kevin O (Husband of Resident) published on 24 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Thank you for your review, I have passed your kind comments on to the team. It can take a few days to get to know new resident and establish the right person centred routine; this can be difficult where we have to rely on their primary carer to communicate at the early stages. However I am pleased that we managed to establish the best level of care for your wife quickly. Thank you again for your 'Excellent' review for the care that we provided and thank you for your review.

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.

Review from K M (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother stayed at the Hollies for a 4 weeks stay following an operation.
She was warmly welcomed and made to feel at home, from arrival.
The accommodation was first class, excellently decorated, with all the modern amenities that a hotel would provide. The activities team were amazing, and put
her immediately at ease.
Nothing was too much trouble. She went out on several trips in the mini-bus, which she loved. The activities team provided everything, even sun-cream and hats as it was hot one day. The food was delicious, nutritious, her meals were planned, and a personal visit by the chef, ensured that all her likes and dislikes were accommodated.
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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for The Hollies Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.833 for The Hollies Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 281 Ratings = 4.833
  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 Care Centre is based on 23 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 23 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.
