  • Holbeach & East Elloe Hospital Trust, Spalding
Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital care home is set among mature gardens and open fields, near the rural market town of Holbeach.

The Hospital Trust was formed in 1988 in response to the local health authority's intention to close Holbeach Hospital. The local community, working with the health authority and raising funds, formed the Holbeach and East Elloe Trust, a charitable organisation that continues to receive support from the community.

The Trust now provides beds for use by local GPs (Anne Waltham Unit), nursing and re-ablement beds. Staff take the time to get to know residents and the families to ensure highly personalised care within a home from home environment.

I cannot praise highly enough the care I had while in your hospital during my transitional stay. Every one of the staff that I came into contact with was so kind & pleasant - it was a pleasure to be cared for by them. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. My thanks & gratitude to all. Kind regards.

Holbeach Hospital is a great place. My sister in law was admitted here as she needed rehabilitation after harming her ankle in an accident. The carers are lovely, don't really give visitors a lot of smiles, however brilliant with the residents. Obviously, there is the odd few that are remarkable.

The room was kept clean, staff caring and happy. My overall experience was good. Only complaint is not very good at communicating with my wife as I am a second stroke survivor and suffer from dysphasia and short term memory loss.

What a wonderful afternoon I had with my mum and dad who are both at Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital celebrating 80 years of VE Day. They were both teenagers at the time and really enjoyed sharing their memories and experiences. All staff went above and beyond to decorate the party room, commemorate
and remember those individuals who served and for the residents to have a wonderful buffet party. Celebrations commenced watching the service on TV followed by a buffet tea party with hats and flags and all things red, white and blue. Residents continued with celebrations in the afternoon with a dedicated singer helping them to reminisce with all the old songs and with staff ensuring that everyone felt included and recognised. It will be a wonderful memory to keep. Thank you everyone.

My mum came to Holbeach Hospital in Feb 25 and the care she received has been exemplary. Every member of staff I have met have been so kind and caring. Sadly it was end of life care but I couldn't have wished for mum to have been in a nicer environment, nothing was too much trouble. I will miss coming
to see mum.

My mother has been a full time resident since her stroke and I couldn't be more grateful for the care she receives. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive and clearly dedicated to their work. They have really got to know mum and she is always treated with care & dignity and compassion. She is most
importantly safe and has a real sense of positive wellbeing. The home is well managed, clean, calm & reassuring. Over time I've seen a real improvement in her mood & engagement. It brings the whole family real peace of mind to know she's in such good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Holbeach hospital took care of my friend who was taken ill very suddenly at age 45. My friend was only at Holbeach hospital for the last two weeks of his life, after a short but dignified battle with cancer. The staff was wonderful and caring, taking time into getting to know him and his needs. His
room was clean and tidy with clean bed linen on at all times. The staff reassured my friend during the most stressful and hardest time of his life. They made is final journey that bit more bearable. They would contact me as my friend requested, when he was unable to do so. Holbeach hospital looked after him so very well. Nothing was to much trouble. Even when the end came, he was so looked after, cleaned and dressed to be picked up by the funeral director. Treated with dignity and respect from start to finish. Thank you.

My dad was here for about 4 months and they were absolutely fantastic with him, any concerns they had they would always ring straight away. Could not have asked for better people to look after him, while he was at the end of life he always looked clean, tidy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

My mother was transferred to this hospital from another hospital with their transition care process. Exemplary care was given to her by every member of the team which aided her successful recovery from a bad fall. Never having spent an overnight in a hospital before in her lifetime (aged 88) her experience
at Holbeach Hospital/Care Home was faultless. She certainly appreciated everyone’s kindness and support which went above and beyond at all times of the day and night. (The meals were delicious and enjoyed fully which also aided recovery!) We would like to send a very big ‘thank you’ to each member of staff for giving my mother such a memorable and positive experience under her difficult circumstances.

Can not thank the staff enough for the excellent care they gave my mum in her last 2 weeks of life. We couldn't have asked for any more, from the managers, nursing and caring staff, all polite and friendly. We are so lucky to have this facility in the area.

When my father arrived at Holbeach hospital in June 2017, he was admitted as end-of-life. The care and dedication of the nurses and other caring staff was excellent, second to none and we couldn't have wished for better. Slowly, he was weaned off puree food and a catheter. He always looks clean and
tidy, he also eats fresh cooked soft food. The home have a wide variety of activities that any/all residents can join in. Also, in the summer, weather permitting, some are taken out in the minibus to different events. I have no doubt without the staff's dedication he would not be with us today.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the care home team, they not only look after the resident to a very high standard but take time to make sure the visitors are happy too. For me the care home is a place where I also feel safe as a Parkinson's sufferer visiting my friend, allowing my husband
much-needed respite. So thank you to the manager and all the staff.

All staff are happy and caring when dealing with the residents, and the visitors are made very welcome. The residents are always smiling and happy. It's also nice to hear that the residents get to be able to choose to be able to be taken out, some of them, for a pint at their local.

I could never thank all the staff enough for what they did for my husband. He was in a motorcycle accident and was bedridden when he went to Holbeach. Oh my god, they worked wonders with him. Nothing was too much trouble for them - 24 hours a day, they were so kind to me and our three daughters. Amazing
people; they are all angels. Thank you so much - amazing place.

My nan was taken into Holbeach Hospital on an end-of-life bed at the beginning of November 23. The managers and the careers were all fantastic and welcoming to us all as a family, as well as the incredible care they gave to my nan; she managed to be discharged after 12 weeks and returned home, something
we never imagined would happen. Sadly, she has now passed away, but without the care and compassion of Holbeach Hospital, we would never have been able to spend the time we did with our nan.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) out of 10 for Holbeach & East Elloe Hospital Trust 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.824 for Holbeach & East Elloe Hospital Trust is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.824
  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 Holbeach & East Elloe Hospital Trust is based on 22 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
