My father moved into Acorn Hollow following a stay in hospital. Negotiating the discharge from hospital and transfer to the home was made so much easier thanks to the support of Acorn Hollow's Administration team who were knowledgeable, efficient and very helpful. All the staff in the home were...
Unfortunately, his stay was only two weeks before he died but I cannot fault the care he received in that time. My siblings and I were always made welcome and could visit Dad at any time.

Acorn Hollow Care Home has become home for my mum since May 2024. She has settled very well and I visit daily. In six months, I have seen great kindness and compassion. I feel that the staff look after me just as much as they do Mum. Mum gets mixed up and can do very little for herself. The staff know she loves to sing. They sing with and to her and she says she feels loved by them. This is a caring, well-run home.

Have settled well. The staff are very kind and pleasant. Sometimes have communication problems. The food is varied and on the whole very nice. Just wish it could be served warmer, cold food is not very appetising. An interesting programme of activities is offered every week. I like the fact that family and friends can visit at any time.

Thank you for your kind review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. It is always a pleasure to receive warm feedback about our staff at Acorn Hollow. We are sorry to hear the food is served cooler than you would prefer; we do have safe systems of work to ensure food is served at the correct temperature. We will increase our oversight to ensure all is in order and we will look to ensure plates are prewarmed before food service as this may also be a factor. We will pass on to the staff team your kind comments regarding varied activities and our open policy to visiting. Once again, thank you for your review.
My grandad went in for respite care and was in there until he sadly passed. The staff were great with him, he was well cared for in his last stages.

I come from West Yorkshire and only manage to visit my sister once weekly. I can't rate everything as I haven't an in-depth knowledge. My visit today has been very pleasant, excellent staff who are loving and caring.

I cannot fault the care given to myself and to my wife in the final days of her life. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent is the only word I can use.

Overall very happy. Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating, public rooms cosy and inviting. Foodwise not always to my mother's taste personally plus waiting time for bathroom assistance but that's down purely to staff availability. Everywhere needs more staff! They provide good entertainment and celebrate lots of events and birthdays for residents and do a good job. I would recommend Acorn Hollow.

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We greatly appreciate your kind comments regarding our staff at Acorn Hollow. We are sorry the food is not to your mothers's taste; you may be aware we offer an alternative snack menu but also that our chef team would be more than happy to consult with your mother to ensure they cater to her tastes. The home manager will closely monitor staff availability for bathroom assistance to resolve your concern raised where possible. Thank you for your recommendation.
The medical care from...
The medical care from the on-site nursing staff was professional, kind and reassuring. Staff providing personal care were cheerful and understanding.
The quality of accommodation and catering was of a high standard.
Administration and management staff were excellent in dealing with other agencies to transfer Mum to Acorn Hollow without delay.
Different activities were available for residents and whilst my mum enjoyed visits from pet therapy groups, I am sorry her health was not better as she would have enjoyed the other events and activities on offer.
Whilst we may not like to think about our loved ones passing away, the staff provided comfort, a peaceful setting and dignity to my mum and her family.
All the staff are very...
All the staff are very friendly, and when they are asked to correct or change anything, this is done quickly and efficiently.
I have had the experience with care homes in the past, and this is definitely the friendliest home so far.
My dad is not the easiest person to deal with, but they have managed his care exceptionally well. The team at Acorn Hollow are amazing.
The staff are wonderful, very helpful in all aspects. Quality of some meals needs improvement, current lack of variety and quality. Cleanliness is good. Social arrangements to suit all.

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We work on a seasonal menu which runs in a six week cycle. This is changed biannually for a spring/summer and an autumn/winter menu. The menu has two main choices and a vegetarian option for each meal, however in all our homes our residents can request alternatives should they not want anything on that day’s menu. We also carry out person of the day, where the chef will visit each resident and they are able to voice any likes or dislikes. Our menus are nutritionally analysed and are created from resident feedback and surveys done within the home.
Very good.

Mum had to move to Acorn Hollow as the previous care home she was in wouldn't accept local authority funding and it was a blessing in disguise as Acorn Hollow is an extremely good care home. It is well run and the carers seem to genuinely care. The facilities and activities are excellent and I feel Mum is in the best possible place she could be for the help and care she needs.
My father is receiving excellent care and staff are very patient and we as a family are being warmly welcomed.

I start with first-class care, from managers, nursing/care staff, cleaners, office staff, caretaker and catering staff, what a team. The staff are professional, committed and provided outstanding care. During this difficult time, we were touched by the kindness and loving care we all received. I cannot praise them all enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and a massive thank you from my mum.
First visit to see a friend, welcoming, friendly and sociable staff. The rooms are airy and bright. Lovely setting and you wouldn't think you were in a nursing home.

Client/family requesting:-
Menu choices are told to the client the day before and staff tick the level box, the client has difficulty chewing. This prevents waste, time, and the client's frustration of continually letting staff know that the food they bring is insufficient.
Some staff aware of the client's limitations with chewing and bring or ask for alternative food options. (Thank you!)
Client/family aware how tirelessly the staff work and are appreciative/thankful.

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Due to restrictions, it has been challenging to arrange dental appointments however this has now been resolved. Please be assured residents are offered baths and showers as and when they wish. We have reviewed our meal service with our chef and arranged to ensure residents have a choice in how their meals are served to them. We have also taken this opportunity to review our activities to accommodate residents' specific needs.
