  • Holly Tree Lodge, Gainsborough
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.

My wife is a long term resident having been admitted with vascular dementia and now needs 24-hour nursing care. I cannot fault the dedication and professionalism of the manager and the staff. The carers are so helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always a relaxed, cheerful and welcoming
atmosphere at the home. Care and compassion are shown by all on a daily basis. During the ongoing covid pandemic, the staff have adapted, kept us informed and gone above and beyond in very challenging circumstances. Many thanks to you all.

Holly Tree Lodge has provided a safe environment for my recently widowed 90-year-old father. The care given by the friendly staff is excellent with organised activities providing much-needed entertainment fun and social interaction. The food is also delicious. My father feels safe, comfortable and cared
for so well done to the management and staff for maintaining such high standards during these extremely difficult times we are all living through.

Very clean care home. The staff are always kind and caring. They always have time to treat the residents as individuals and are very considerate towards family also. I have recommended Holly Tree to people I know a few times. I am forever indebted to them for their diligence during Covid-19 in keeping
my mother safe and well whilst still trying to offer an efficient caring environment. My mother is happy there.

The manager and staff deserve medals for the way they have dealt with the covid19 situation. As a retired nurse, I am impressed with how the home is run, and I cannot say how proud as a family we are in how they care and look after our Mum. The staff are always there, and nothing is too much bother.
They keep us up to date with any changes. As a family, we would highly recommend this home.

My mum was a resident for almost 4 years. During this time she was cared for in a very pleasant atmosphere with very kind and caring staff. We were always made welcome when we went to visit her and she always looked very well dressed with nice hair and nails, an important part of my Mum's life.

My husband went into Holly Tree Lodge 28th Dec 2015 to his passing - I visited him every day - the last 12 months of his life I was there all day - and I can't speak more highly of the care he received from everyone from cleaners to management. He loved being there and I say this with my hand on my
heart.

My father-in-law was a resident at Holly Tree Lodge for a little over two years. I have nothing but praise for the love and care he received (even when he wasn't on his best behaviour). Well done to the team for maintaining such high standards of care. It meant a lot to us knowing he was safe and being
so well cared for.

My mother has been a resident for three and a half years. She now needs more intensive care which she is being given. The staff are friendly and caring and tend to stay in their job for a long time, which is good for both staff and resident. My only reservation is a shortage of leisure activities for
those able to partake of them.

Holly Tree Lodge is an excellent care home providing excellent care for its residents. Staff are happy in their work and are very caring. They all take the time to get to know the residents which I feel is essential for providing good, appropriate care. They are happy to answer relatives' enquiries
and questions, although at first needed some prompting to provide updates. Overall we are very happy with the care provided to our father.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.663)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.663) out of 10 for Holly Tree Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.663 for Holly Tree Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.663

  • b) 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 Holly Tree Lodge 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
