My uncle always seems very happy and cared for when my sister and I visit. Today, we played a game of Bingo with him, and he won! There is always something going on for entertainment-wise, and the tea trolly with biscuits is usually passed around to his and our delight! The staff are all so very caring
with all the residents, and the meals look great too.

The staff are all amazing. They offer a wide range of activities and everyone I have spoken to who resides in the home has nothing but nice things to say.
They celebrate all festive holidays and this is accompanied with delicious homemade food.
They have an on-site hairdresser which I am told is

My mum moved into Hollymount a couple of months ago and I’ve found the home to be just right for my mum. The staff have been so lovely and patient with my mum's dementia. They all work hard to keep all the residents occupied and entertained. My mum hardly ate anything before moving into the home but
thanks to the chef and lovely kitchen staff she’s eating really well. My mum's room is cosy and clean and she’s been very comfortable there. I can’t thank everyone enough at Hollymount for giving excellent care to my mum.

My father had a fall which resulted in hospital admission. Not mobile enough to return home he was given 4 weeks in Hollymount to build him back up. My father arrived in a weak state both physically and mentally. Staff worked hard to gain his trust and by week four their relationship was mutually warm
and caring. Humour played an important part in their daily routine too. My father is back walking with his frame and doing well. Thank you to all the staff.

My wife has been a resident of Hollymount Residential & Dementia Care Centre for some 5 years, initially suffering with moderate Dementia which as time has passed, has become much worse. During this period she has been looked after with great care, her needs have been attended to by a very helpful,

My wife has been in this care home for 14 months. I have only good comments about her care there. She is very happy there and is well looked after by caring staff who are well managed. Being 85 myself, it's good to know she is in safe hands. Her room is spacious, well presented and clean. Her clothes
are kept in good condition, and she always looks so nice when I visit, which is often. The food and activities are brilliant. I have no complaints whatsoever about Hollymount.

I have found Hollymount a friendly caring home. Residents are treated like family and have regular activities to keep residents occupied and stimulated. The meals are excellent, my relative has always praised the meals, the staff are wonderful with the residents and should be proud of themselves for

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For some time my Father had been living in a small flat on his own, his health and wellbeing had deteriorated over the last few years and although we tried to help him keep his independence we were very concerned after he had a number of falls at home and on occasion had been found wandering the streets
alone late at night. He had been hospitalised for observations and finally came to stay at Hollymount! All I can say since he has been there, he looks so healthy and is being fed really well! The staff are fantastic and go the extra mile. The manager of Hollymount went out of her way on a number of occasions to help us as a family to see him and help my Dad to settle in, which has not been easy in these uncertain times. I feel this was the right thing to do, as we know he is safe now and hopefully soon we can visit more. Can't recommend Hollymount and the staff enough! Thank you.

It is a pleasure for everyone at Hollymount to care for your dad. He settled in at the home very quickly and we have all loved getting to know more about him personally each day. We always look forward to him telling us about his time stationed abroad and he keeps us smiling as has a few good jokes up his sleeve too.

My mum has been in Hollymount since the end of September 2019. She seemed to settle in quite quickly. Mum had issues with her mobility but Hollymount was fantastic in helping mum get some of her mobility back. All the staff are kind and compassionate towards all the residents and their families. I am
confident that mum is safe and very well cared for. I ring every two days any time of the day or night, and I have always been made welcome to visit anytime before lockdown. During lockdown, there has been no direct visits but Hollymount have provided excellent visiting facilities so I can still see mum.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.371)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.371) out of 10 for Hollymount Residential & Dementia Care Centre 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.750 for Hollymount Residential & Dementia Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.75
  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 4.621 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hollymount Residential & Dementia Care Centre is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.921
  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.

Carolyn Skelly

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2020

My name is Carolyn and I am registered manager at Hollymount.
I have worked in the care industry for over 20 years and been in a managerial position for over 6 years. I have worked with a range of clients, from young adults with learning difficulties and elderly clients in residential/dementia homes. I have a lot of qualifications and completed my level 5 in leadership and management, and achieved my qualification in dementia care mapping with Sterling University.
I thoroughly enjoy my work and get great satisfaction on a daily basis here at Hollymount. We are quite a big family here, and like to ensure that the home promotes equality and diversity. All support is tailored to the individual. I am passionate in improving staff knowledge which is essential to their roles which ensures they have the skills and knowledge to create the best for the organisation. Reflective practice is a huge part of my professional development, criticising my own practice is not always easy but taking a step back and taking another look at it can benefit me and my skills in improving my knowledge so I can become a role model for other staff. I like to feel that I am learning and changing as a result of all I do.
I have a 24 year old son who is very important to me and my family is paramount to me. Hollymount has my full dedication and I am looking forward to developing the service further and further improving the home.
