Review from Michael F (Son of Resident) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Kasia Szatowska, Manager at Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to write such positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that your dad is enjoying his life at Holly Tree Lodge and will ensure that your kind comments are passed on to the whole team.

Overall Experience
I am so happy with Holly Tree Lodge.

It's the best home my husband has been in, the staff are very helpful and know what they are doing. He has had some bad times in other places and has been very unsettled which worried me and the family! I know now he is very settled and happy, I cannot thank all the staff for all their help and kindness they have given to my husband and my family. Thanks again.

Overall Experience

Mam has really settled here. I have every confidence that she is looked after. Mam can hit out at staff cause she is set in her ways, but the staff just take it, and if doesn't hit them, it's a bonus. This care home is Mam's forever home. You have to sign in at the front desk and are greeted by the very pleasant staff and let in through the key-coded door. All the staff great you with a smile.

Overall Experience

My mum is suffering from mid-late-stage dementia. After a number of distressing experiences in other 'care' homes, we found Holly Tree Lodge EMI Care Home. (Thank goodness!) The care, understanding, support and compassion that they give to my mum is exceptional! We (me and my dad) also feel very welcome. I cannot thank them enough! Brilliant.

Very happy with the care home and the care he's receiving. Can't comment on management, but seems nice enough. If we have a problem, the care staff act on it straight away. Very helpful. As for value for money, can't comment as still to be sorted.

Review from N J (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From entering the building you are greeted with a smiling face. Safety is covered by signing in using a censored register, before being allowed into the dining area. All the staff are full of energy, pleasant and very professional. The entire social area is clean and tidy with plenty of seating for residents. The food is cooked on site and often has my stomach grumbling with the scent of it as it wafts through the sitting area. The ladies and gentlemen on the staff have patience in an abundance and it is often needed when residents are having a difficult day. I feel comfortable leaving my grandmother here after each visit, as I know she is very well taken care of. She is in clean and dry clothes when we visit, as are the other residents and if an accident is had, they are cleaned up in a private zone of the home, to help them keep their dignity. I cannot thank the staff enough for the level of care they provide.

Review from J E (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Holly Tree Lodge go above and beyond to give the best care to the residents, maintaining their dignity and interacting with them at all times. I cannot praise them enough - even with the pressures all care services are contending with at the moment, all the staff here go above and beyond to provide a kind, caring environment for everyone. The food is good, home cooked and wholesome. Visitors are made welcome, and although rooms are simply decorated, they are exceptionally clean, and adding personal objects to make them feel more homely is actively encouraged, so residents can have familiar things around them. We as a family were shown the utmost care and concern during the period leading up to mums passing. People matter, and the people here really do work hard to give the best care possible.
