My mum moved into Hollymount a week and half ago and I've found the home to be just right for my mum. The staff are so lovely, friendly and patient with my mum. They all work hard to keep all the residents occupied and entertained and take care of each and everyone's needs, nothing is too much for them, they all go above and beyond to help the residents. My mum was a fussy eater before moving into the home but thanks to the chef and the 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.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. The first few weeks in a new home are a big adjustment for any family, so it was lovely to read that your mum has settled in so quickly and feels comfortable in her room.

Dear A B,Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. The first few weeks in a new home are a big adjustment for any family, so it was lovely to read that your mum has settled in so quickly and feels comfortable in her room.
I will be passing your comments on to the care team, who I know will be genuinely touched by them. Our chef and kitchen staff will be especially pleased to hear that your mum is now eating well. They take a lot of care in getting to know each resident's tastes, and it means a great deal to them to know it has made a difference.
It is a real pleasure to have your mum with us at Hollymount. If there is ever anything you would like to discuss, or anything more we can do for her, please do not hesitate to speak to Carolyn, our Registered Manager or, Mandy, our Care Manager.
Kind regards,

Our father passed away on his 90th birthday, and the team at Hollymount showed extraordinary kindness. They had already arranged a small birthday celebration for him, and when he died, they thoughtfully and respectfully turned it into a wake.
He had lived alone for several years, and those final months at Hollymount were the happiest he'd had in a long time. He was no longer lonely, and he often told us how friendly, supportive, and caring the staff were. The other residents also made a profound difference, giving him comfort, companionship, and dignity at the end of his life.
We are grateful for everything they did for him and for making us feel welcome.
Thank you for taking the time to share this, and please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your father. Losing him on his 90th birthday was especially hard, and we are grateful you have chosen to remember Hollymount so kindly.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your father. Losing him on his 90th birthday was especially hard, and we are grateful you have chosen to remember Hollymount so kindly.
Everyone at the home had been looking forward to celebrating his birthday with him, and when we found out, the staff and his friends here felt it was right to bring everyone together to honour and remember him instead. Knowing that he felt at home here, and that the loneliness he had lived with for several years lifted in his final months, means more to us than any score could. That is a credit to our staff, and to our residents, who welcome newcomers with warmth and kindness and make the community at Hollymount so much brighter.
We will share your words with the team and the residents who knew him. Your family was always welcome at Hollymount, and always will be. If there is anything we can do in the weeks ahead, please do get in touch.
I cannot praise Hollymount enough. The care and love the residents get from all the staff is absolutely wonderful. They are one big happy family.

Looking tired in places, but it is an old house, and in process of being decorated.
If I had any negatives, it would be the outside areas that let it down, definitely needs looking at, and a gardener, just for garden areas.

Thank you for your kind and balanced review. We're really pleased to hear your positive comments about our food, activities, care, management, and staff. It means a lot to the whole team.You're absolutely right that we have an ongoing redecoration programme, with several areas already scheduled next. Bedrooms shouldn't feel basic, we actively encourage all service users to personalise their rooms to make them feel truly like home. Our team are always happy to help if you have any ideas for your friend's room.
We also have regular gardener visits, and we're always open to ideas on how we can continue improving the outdoor spaces for everyone's enjoyment, please feel free to pop by the office to share any suggestions.
We don't set the fees for your friends personal finances, this is by the Council. If you or the family have any concerns or queries, please let us know and we'll make sure you're directed to the right department at the council.
Thank you

The care that my mother received was second to none. The staff are wonderful and caring. The building is a bit dated but they are slowly renovating. The love and care from the staff makes up for that.

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.

Moving my dads care to Hollymount was the best decision I have made. Staff are so helpful, especially the manager. My dad loves the food, he always talks about the Chinese night and Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

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.
