At last I can go home after visiting my husband with peace of mind, knowing he is safe and secure being cared for by excellent staff, and management, in a safe clean environment at Holly Tree Lodge. I always feel welcome and I also am treated and greeted by all the staff. I would recommend to anyone
when asked about care and facilities here at Holly Tree Lodge that their loved ones will be well cared for.

My mum sadly passed away but I would like to thank all the staff for their care and compassion shown to my mum over the past three years. She had dementia and could be a challenge some days but the staff were brilliant with her. I'm sure they will miss the banter with her.

My dad has been in Holly Tree Lodge for two months now. He was quite ill when he first arrived at Holly Tree Lodge. The care and attention from staff has been second to none. There are plenty of stimulating activities arranged for example chair exercises every Monday, and singers coming in to entertain
residents. Food is always lovely and rightly rated 5 stars. I cannot fault any of the staff from the manager to the cares to domestic and catering staff. They made this a lovely care home for our loved ones.

We moved my father-in-law here after a very bad experience in a previous home and the care he received from day 1 was exceptional, every single person there had nothing but time and respect all the residents and their families. We felt happy knowing he was so well looked after and every one of his needs
were met to a very high standard, we honestly cannot thank the management and all the other amazing staff enough.

My wife has been a resident for approximately 18 months and she was very agitated at first, but she is now really happy although she still doesn’t recognise me, she always shouts for a staff member and me, well that’s what the carers tell us, but I’m in a care home now myself. I’ve just been looking
at rooms available, and there are 3, l may talk to them about it, l have complex needs, and l need hoisting out and into bed, l don’t think it’s going to change so will have to talk to them about it.

From the first phone call to the manager, meeting her and the staff and throughout my mum's stay, we can't thank them enough for all their care, love and support to Mum and our family. A special mention

My mum has been resident at Holly Tree for approx 9 months but in recent days has passed.
The care she received was both professional and empathetic to her condition and all her individual needs this entailed.
Her stroke had left Mum immobile, nonverbal and incontinent and mild dementia etc. To find
this place and amazing staff has been one of life's true blessings for Mum and our family.
We were able to leave Mum for days, knowing she was well cared for. This was priceless for our family
The place is well-staffed with kind attentive people. The food is homemade and tasty. The nurses always had time to explain and inform.
An upbeat approach and flow was in the air, which says to me it was managed well.
Highly recommend.

Overall my experience of Holly Tree Lodge has been positive. Mum always looks well cared for an I have no concerns regarding her well-being. The staff include Mum in social activities.

Holly Tree has a very well-led team!
From the lovely, approachable, happy-to-help managers right down to the hard-working cleaning staff.
Everyone is very friendly and ready to assist when needed. They show compassion at all times, even when situations can be challenging. Health problems are dealt
with quickly by contacting GPs or Health Professionals for advice and medication.
One/one assistance is put into place immediately when necessary. All staff quickly learn each resident's individual needs.
Rooms are kept clean and tidy at all times.
More importantly, our loved ones are dressed in their own clothes, which are always laundered to a high standard.
The food is excellent!
Staff excel when providing buffets at functions.
I would recommend Holly Tree Lodge!

My dad recently moved to Holly Trees due to his previous nursing home closing down, this caused my mum a great deal of heartache and stress. This however was soon a thing of the past, within 24 hours my dad received more care and attention than he had in the previous six months in his old home. It culminated
in a week in hospital due to the care and immediate attention he received from the staff at Holly Trees. My dad is back in their care and has settled in really well. Thanks must go to a particular member of staff and all the amazing staff at Holly Trees, we cannot thank you enough for your diligence and immediate care you showed my dad, I have no doubt that without this he would no longer be with us.
Best wishes to you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.894 for Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (438 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 483 Ratings = 4.894
  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 Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home is based on 41 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 41 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.
