Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home has a Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10, based on 29 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home has 95 reviews.
My mother has only been a resident for 7 weeks, but during that time I have been extremely satisfied with the standard of care and the caring nature of the staff.
The home is a very calm and pleasant place for him to enjoy and visiting him is a pleasure for me.
My wife has been resident in Holly Tree Lodge for 11 months suffering from dementia and I consider myself fortunate to have found this care home. She receives excellent care from all staff members and is always treated with dignity and respect despite some challenging behaviour on occasions.
Accommodation, meals and security are all perfectly acceptable.
Care assistants and management are always available and ready to discuss my wife's care and always keep me informed of any problems as they arise.
I am content knowing that my wife is in safe, caring hands.
Holly Tree Lodge is an excellent care home. Carers are very good with staff and visitors. Visitors are made welcome. The care home is kept very clean.
Carers will give you their time to talk to you and answer any question or put your mind at ease at any time.
My brother has been in Holly Lodge for two years now. He seems very happy and although he can't talk, the carers manage to understand him and interact with him. When I ask him about his meals he licks his lips.
My father is a full-time resident. This care home is excellent for dementia care. My father is receiving nursing care as well as excellent medical care. The home is a very welcoming place with a very good security system in place. Patients are able to move around freely with plenty of staff available. The staff promote independence but are constantly aware of individual needs. The home is extremely clean and residents are always clean with their clothing and bedding changed regularly. Both management and staff are very easy to speak with and on hand daily.
My father has not had a good time over a period of 18 months. He had two falls and was kicked out of his previous care home. Since he became a resident at Holly Treey Lodge his health has improved with the help of care staff. I am satisfied that he is getting the amount of care he deserves. I don't think my father would still be alive but for the care, he receives at Holly Tree Lodge
Since my husband was accepted at Holly Tree Lodge he has had the best of care getting his medication sorted so it was right and as he has deteriorated they have put his interest and comfort. They have kept me fully informed of what is happening. The staff are friendly and helpful and good with the residents.
I have no problems with the care home. The staff are helpful and sympathetic to the concerns of the relatives. The meals are to a good standard and are sufficient to most people's needs. Personally, my husband is well cared for, even in some trying circumstances. Overall, the home is the best I could have wanted for my husband.
My overall opinion of the residential home is that of satisfactory. There has been one or two minor incidents that could have been avoided by segregating one or two of the residents from the remainder to prevent aggression and violence. The staff were quick in resolving the issue and dealt with it immediately but this should not be happening. When it does its too late and could result into a serious matter and consequences.
I must register my disapproval of a DOL, most people with my wife's complaint require activity and stimulation, but the DOL seems to restrict this.
Her day consists of sitting in a chair, I and her daughter, would love the opportunity to take her out, to do things together. She is a quiet lady (unlike some) and quite harmless. Apart from this, Holly Tree cares for my wife satisfactorily.
This is the second care home that my father has lived at. I am highly delighted with the care and lifestyle that he is receiving. The home is perfect for his condition and the care given is exceptional and I am never concerned with the home that he now lives in.
My mother is looked after extremely well. The staff are friendly and treat residents with great respect and care. I know I leave the home without any worries, that mum is receiving the best of care. I have recommend this home to relatives and friends.
However, I am generally very happy that my sister is in Holly Tree Lodge.
The care home overall is not bad, the bedrooms need some attention decorating with a bit of new carpet. The food is ok but requires a regular cook in the kitchen.

"I began my journey into the care home as a Registered Nurse, ready to face the challenges. Although it was a test, I also found many positive aspects. After a year, I was promoted to the position of Deputy Manager, which allowed me to gain further experience. Both roles have given me a lot of satisfaction and enabled me to find fulfilment in my work. Alongside the residents and their families, we can genuinely say that we are building the Holly Tree Lodge Family."
"Our care and dedication make this place truly special. I really appreciate the strong support from Andrew and Steve and the managers, their frequent visits, attention to detail and their commitment to promoting staff training. These aspects make our company a great place to work."

Sarah came to Holly Tree and was initially employed as the activities coordinator, then was promoted to Senior Care Assistant. She decided to take a different career path and became a home administrator.
"We are a family at Holly Tree and I love working here, the owners are willing to help with anything you need."

My name is Desire, and I’m a Registered General Nurse (RGN) at Holly Tree Lodge, where I’ve worked for several years. I truly enjoy my role, especially supporting individuals with challenging behaviour and mental health needs. We have a great team at Holly Tree Lodge, and we support each other to ensure all our residents receive the highest standard of care.

I believe we’ve created a supportive and positive environment where both staff and residents feel valued. We work together closely, and that teamwork really shines through in the care we provide. It’s a place where everyone looks out for each other, and I’m proud to be part of it.

There’s a real sense of community here. We face challenges together, support one another, and celebrate the progress and small wins along the way. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact we make in our residents’ lives. Holly Tree Lodge feels more like a family than just a workplace, and that’s what makes it so fulfilling for me.

I love working at Holly Tree Lodge — this is true. My work is often under pressure, with tight timescales and daily challenges, but this is exactly what motivates me every single day. I enjoy making a difference in people’s lives, supporting our residents, and ensuring that, despite their mental or physical conditions, they still have a good quality of life

My name is Jessica, and I work at Holly Tree Lodge as a chef. I truly enjoy working here because every day brings a new opportunity to make a difference. Cooking for our residents isn’t just about preparing meals — it’s about bringing comfort, joy, and a sense of home to people who deserve the very best.

We are painters and decorators for Trust Care Ltd, and we’re often working at Holly Tree Lodge. Our job is to make sure the environment feels warm, welcoming, and truly homely for the residents. We understand how important it is for people to live in a space that’s not only safe and clean but also beautifully decorated and comforting

My name is Emma, and I’m the Lead of Activity Coordination at Holly Tree Lodge. I plan and lead engaging, meaningful activities that bring joy, connection, and purpose to our residents’ lives. Every smile, laugh, and shared moment makes my role truly rewarding
