Holmwood Care Home

Management and staff are excellent. My mother could not be in more capable and caring hands.

Efficient and friendly always helpful.

Very satisfied with the care my sister is receiving. 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.

The staff at Holmwood are very caring and always approachable. We are offered plenty of drinks whilst visiting our relative. Our relative is more settled and her health is much more stable than it has been in a long time. We would highly recommend this lovely place to anyone looking for a place of care for themselves or their loved ones. Also, a good all-round social takes place on a regular basis.

Every time we come, all the staff are very pleasant. We are always offered refreshments. Our relative's room is very comfortable and she is well looked after. We are very grateful to all the staff for their care and support of both our relative and us.

A very good place to be. My brother in law is more alert. Management and staff are very caring. I am happy for my brother in law to be here.

I regularly visit Holmwood Care Home with the husband of a resident. I cannot fault the home in any way. The environment is wonderful and welcoming, the staff are friendly and helpful and extremely caring. There are numerous and varied activities for the residents. Some of them particularly enjoy singing and dancing to the musical entertainment provided and the joy this gives them is a pleasure to observe. The resident's husband goes home happy and relaxed due to seeing his wife happy and content which is important to his well-being (he is 93). I would have no hesitation in recommending the home.

Staff very caring, always friendly. I find all the staff easy to speak to. Nice place to be in.

My mum has not been a resident for long but I am very pleased with her care. I am really impressed, the staff seem very friendly and my Mum's standard of care is excellent.

My mother-in-law has only been a resident for a short time so far, but I have been well impressed with the standard of care and the friendliness of all the staff.

I cared for my husband with Alzheimer's for 6 years and I was reluctant for him to go into a care home. On visiting Holmwood Care Home everyone was so friendly and helpful and everywhere smelt lovely (this was important to the cleanliness). It had a very homely feel. My husband has settled well. The care, attention and love he is shown has put my mind at rest, they look after him as well as or even better than I was able to in the last 12 months I was loving and caring for him. His room is neat and clean with ensuite. All of the facilities are neat, clean and so much bigger and better than we had at home. All of the staff, carers, cleaners, chefs are catering. They all watch out for the clients in the restrooms, activity areas and dining room. The kindness and care shown to everyone is amazing. I am so happy my family and I chose Holmwood Care Home. God bless you all.

First impressions nice clean home. Very friendly staff who clearly care for the residents.

Mum is happy and content. I can go home knowing mum is safe and well looked after.

After two very unsettled periods at the home. I am happy with the new manager and her stability in the home. I am no longer worried re my mums care.

Staff morale was at an all-time low. Manager and senior staff have worked together as we are now seeing the results of this. An incident involving my relative was dealt with by nursing staff immediately and sympathetically.

My wife has been a resident since August 2016 and myself and my family have always been happy with the care she has received. There was a difficult period of changing manager but that was short term. The current manager is doing a really good job, and is very well thought of by everyone. Always striving for improvement and is always available for people to meet with her. Really happy with the home and my wife's care.

It's never an easy decision to place a family member in a care home but Holmwood has made things easier for us. The staff are very caring, friendly and supportive and the standards of cleanliness, food and personal care are excellent. We feel confident my Dad is receiving the care he needs, which makes it easier to visit him and less stressful when they're away.

Generally happy with the care that is being provided for my mum. However, I feel that standards have slipped somewhat over the last few months. Shortage of permanent staff seems to be the reason for this - already raised with management.
