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.

Mum was a resident for 14 months. She was well cared for and happy at Holly Tree. The staff are amazing and mum even accepted with great fondness the care from the male carers as well as the female carers. Such kindness and empathy were shown. Would not hesitate to come back in the future should it
be necessary.

I cannot review this home any nicer or higher. The staff are extremely helpful and caring. Brilliant in all ways they look after us all, whether personally for Mom or informing us with any updates. They do activities and make time for everyone. Food is extremely good and a variety is always available
to whatever the resident's preference. Mother has been here for over six years and she wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for their excellent care.

Mum has been resident at Holly Tree Lodge for 1 year now and it's been reassuring to know that mum has been very well cared for throughout this pandemic. The staff display genuine care for the residents here and although visiting this year has been limited I couldn't have wished for Mum's care to be
better!
My recommendation is when need of a loved one to go into residential care/nursing care arises you wouldn't be disappointed in choosing the manager and her staff to care for them!

My mother has been at Holly Tree for a long time. In that time she has been very well cared for, over and above what I have seen at other care homes. I think that we have chosen the very best for our Mum and cannot fault any of the care that she gets.

Mum settled very quickly into Holly Tree Lodge. We felt she was safe and well cared for. Her room is lovely and was freshly decorated. From what I have seen, the food looked lovely. Mum is certainly well nourished. It is difficult to give a more thorough review due to covid-19 lockdown; I haven't been
allowed in for 9-months of Mum's 11-month stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.560)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.560) 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 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.560 for Holly Tree Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.56
  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 Holly Tree Lodge is based on 25 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 + 0.025 = 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 25 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.
