Holly Tree Lodge is a care home in the pretty award winning village of Scotton, Lincolnshire, which is within easy reach of Gainsborough and Scunthorpe. They offer a high standard of living and comfortable accommodation.

Qualified and experienced nurses and senior care workers are able to deliver a person-centred individualised care package, by knowing and understanding each person's specific needs and supporting their independence. Compassionate and dedicated carer workers are skilled in delivering a versatile range of personal care to people with medical and physical needs and also those with problems related to living with mild dementia. They are held in high regard by residents, families and medical professionals, which is demonstrated by written responses to Quality Assurance questionnaires. Staff ensure that residents receive a superior level of care and enjoy life in a strong community.

The Home offers pre bookable temporary respite care subject to availability; this may be of assistance to members of the community who are also carers to have a break.

Both my mum and dad have/are residents of this super care home. Fantastic staff who have become like family to us. The home looks after the care and dementia needs of residents with everybody being treated as individuals.

I cannot speak or praise highly enough. My views on "Holly Tree care home", everyone goes above and beyond to care for my father and also mine and my sibling's welfare when attending to him. There is nowhere else (in my opinion) I would trust my father's care too. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

My mum has been in Holly Tree Lodge about 8 years she can be a bit of a hand full as she has dementia. The staff are very good to her and treat her with kindness and all handled very good due to the pandemic and keeping Covid out, but when you have good staff and a good manager it will work.

The staff are all really friendly and helpful. They are really good with my mum and the care they have given her is excellent. They always inform me if anything happens with mum, even if she has a slight fall or a sore anywhere. They give their best to make sure all the residents are given the best
care and support as needed. I am so pleased I could get my mum to move in here.

Holly Tree Lodge has provided an amazing caring environment for my mum. She was very frail and weak following very serious illness.
Whilst she remains frail the staff have cared for mum giving her the support and encouragement needed to make a continued recovery, independence and confidence. The staff,
carers and the whole team put incredible effort into caring for all residents, ensuring their needs are met.

Have little experience of care homes buttoned fair I can’t fault this one, food appears very nice
as are the staff. It doesn’t pretend to be five stars but it’s clean and happy. Bedrooms a little small.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Holly Tree Lodge this week and was given such a warm welcome by both the staff and manager who couldn’t do enough to help her settle in.
All involved in welcoming her to the home were so kind and caring, ensuring she felt instantly at ease and it was lovely to see.
The room was
spotless and staff ensured she was aware of how to contact them if she needed anything at all, even just a chat.
I was left in no doubt that the decision to move her to Holly Tree was the correct one and she is going to receive the best care and support for her needs.
A huge thank you to all involved.

i.e. Crafts, music, entertainment etc.
Reply from anne atkinson, Manager at Holly Tree LodgeThank you for taking the time to submit a review.
Unfortunately, the range and length of activities have suffered due to a range of impacts of the pandemic, we are currently working to improve our programme and always welcome any suggestions from friends and family.

Loving, caring staff who go the extra mile to ensure all my father-in-law's needs are met. My mother-in-law recently passed away after living at Holly Tree Lodge for five years and we were really happy with her care. The support the management and staff have given me and my husband has also been amazing.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Holly Tree Lodge is set in beautiful rural surroundings in the village of Scotton. We felt it was important for Mum to be in a rural setting having lived in the countryside all her life.
The care given to Mum is second to none and has made the difficult decision to move into a care home much easier
for everyone. The room and facilities are excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending Holly Tree Lodge.

My parents were welcomed into the home by everyone at was a very difficult time for both of them.
The staff provide them with excellent care and support and nothing is too much trouble, Mum especially loves it here and I have seen such an improvement in her demeanour which is all thanks to the care
and attention she gets.
I can rest easy, confident that my parents are in safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for Holly Tree Lodge 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 20 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 4.713 for Holly Tree Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.713
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holly Tree Lodge 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, 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.
