During my mother's decline to advanced dementia, the staff have been diligent, dedicated, caring and compassionate with patience I can only marvel at. I can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Would like to say a big thank-you to all the staff who has looked after my mother for the past 2 years. Words can not describe how they cared my mother was during her last days. Managers of the home are very professional and know exactly how to deliver excellent service.


My mother was very happy

and enjoyed the trips out especially to Fleetwood for fish and chip.


I would highly recommend this home to anybody.


I look forward to seeing you all soon.

The staff at the home are always friendly and welcoming - they remember our names and ask about the family. They are mindful of other residents behaviours when my little girl is with me visiting. There is always a welcoming smile and they strive to keep us updated about grandma.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Not enough words to express how wonderful the staff are in this home. The staff are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The care that my relative receives is done with so much love. I am updated on regular information about my relative. I do not worry anymore because I know that he is
looked after. I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for their loved ones to be cared for properly.

The care and attention given to mum is first class. We are always kept well informed as to how she is. All the staff are so caring with all the family and are always ready with a smile and time for a chat. Nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone.

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.

Hi, my name is Shirley. I started as Activities Coordinator at Hollymount in 2022, prior to this I had worked at Hollymount as a care assistant.


I have had a very varied career which I feel enables me to bring a lot to the role.


I just love my role here at Hollymount and I find it very rewarding. It’s a vital part of the home and essential to the well-being of all our residents. The residents are full of character and have amazing stories to tell, I have made lots of friends and it’s great to see smiles on their faces.
