  • Holmwood Care Home, Sheffield
Holmwood care home, located on the outskirts of Sheffield, in an attractive residential area of Norton Lees, provides personalised dementia care to older people.

Many residents at Holmwood enjoy the range of places to explore, including a pub, tea room, sensory room, café, hair salon, library service and nail bar, as well as the specially designed dining areas that provide the perfect space to share meals with fellow residents, or family and friends.

On those sunny summer days, the peaceful enclosed garden is the ideal spot for some alfresco dining and the catering team work hard to offer a varied and nutritious menu, ensuring each meal is an enjoyable experience.

The team at Holmwood take the time to learn about each resident’s individual hobbies and interests so that they are able to encourage participation in things they enjoy across the home, whether it be the planned activities or enjoying a quiet drink.

Connection with the local community in Norton Lees is also promoted, from building relationships with the neighbours in local community groups and schools to arranging sightseeing trips in the local area.

With a family feel, the focus at Holmwood is to deliver the kindest possible care to residents whilst also supporting their loved ones as best they can.

In the short time, our dad was in the care of Holmwood, we could not have asked for more. Every member of the team went above and beyond to care for our dad. He had the the very best people looking after him 24/7. Nothing was too much trouble, there was an activity program most days. Dad always enjoyed
meal times, the variety of food on offer changed daily. We were informed of any changes, no matter how small. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for either respite or permanent care for a family member.

I cannot recommend this home highly enough. I was dreading putting my dad in one, then I found Holmwood. They are amazing; all the staff and management truly are angels. My dad is so well cared for and happy, which in turn, makes us feel so much better. They go above and beyond in many things, always
making sure that we are informed on everything.

Staff and management have been outstanding during this COVID 19 period. I have been kept well informed of all temporary lockdown and visiting arrangements. My questions are all answered in a timely manner. Any problems that my wife has had during her stay here have been well managed. As a family, we

I would definitely recommend this care provider to other people. My Mum has been well looked after by the wonderful staff. We are notified about any changes or ongoing procedures with Mum and kept up to date with her progress. Couldn't have managed without them.

I have found the care home to be very friendly with caring staff. The food is excellent and the cleanliness very good. They have kept the relatives informed over the very difficult period during the Covid pandemic. My sister always looks well kept. I would recommend this care home to others looking
for somewhere for their relatives.

Always find all staff helpful, pleasant. Care given to my husband the best. This home was recommended by a nurse who came to our home for my husband's bloods. Said she had been in homes but found Holmwood and staff excellent.

Due to the covid circumstances, the visit had to be limited but it was extremely well organised and monitored. All necessary precautions were taken and the location was well isolated from the rest of the building. Cheerful staff as usual. Thank you.

Holmwood staff are always pleasant, helpful and positive. I feel content that my mum is looked after properly and carefully. Although this last year has been awful for everyone I have been reassured that life is as good as it can be at Holmwood. I have not seen my mum for a year but have been able to
speak on the phone. Staff at Holmwood always report anything concerning mum so we can sort any problems.

I find Holmwood Care home a very welcoming home. Staff and management are really wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My Mother-in-Law has been there two weeks now and is so much happier and comfortable than she has been in months. She looks lovely and clean and is so well looked after.
We, as a family, are so happy and contented knowing she is so looked after and happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Holmwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.756 for Holmwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.756

  • b) 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 Holmwood Care Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Introducing Vicki Louise Leck
Home Manager at Holmwood, Norton Lees


What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?


“I believe that kind care is doing what it takes to make a Resident smile every day.”


Having started her career as a care home cook, Vicki has gained nearly 20 years’ experience in providing care and support to older people, to enrich their lives. She is a knowledgeable and dedicated leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards in care and quality of life for Residents.


Vicki joined Holmwood as she closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every Resident. She extends this caring approach to her colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


She also works hard to arrange events and activities with nearby schools and clubs and is always keen to include the local community in life at Holmwood.


When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Vicki remarked:
“I find it very satisfying when I see our care making a difference to our Residents’ wellbeing.”
