Review from Neil W (Son of Resident) published on 6 May 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
In early February 2025, I was advised by Social Services & the NHS that my father needed 24x7 nursing care. That came as an absolute shock, over the following weeks I was racked with guilt and felt extremely saddened that my father now required that level of support. Approx. 8 weeks ago, my father became a resident at Holme House, and from the first minute he arrived the experience for him has been brilliant, he is really happy to be living there. His contentment, and the service we receive as a family, has allayed all my guilt, sadness, and other concerns.
The facilities at Holme House are excellent, clean, aesthetically pleasing and practical. The team at Holme House are absolutely amazing, from the senior management right through to the care staff. I am in awe at the culture, the care, and love they show in everything they do. The way they engage with the residents, always with smiles, is absolutely out of this world.

Review from Paul R (Son of Resident) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum spent the last 2 and a quarter years at Holme House. I cannot speak highly enough of the management and staff at this nursing home. My mum was highly demanding - complaining if any wish was not complied with immediately! And could be abusive. But Holme House coped; did more than coped. And at the end, when my mum was hospitalized, the manager and assistant manager made 2 trips to the hospital on their own time - one to take my mum's mobile so that I could speak to her - and once on a Saturday to see how she was progressing (the day she passed away). Definitely 'above and beyond the call of duty'. I'll keep in touch with them - I regard them as friends.

Overall Experience
My stepdad has been placed here from hospital and we couldn’t be happier. He has only been here since Saturday and I have seen such an improvement. The staff are so welcoming and can’t do enough to help and ease our concerns. They are so caring and it’s great to see such happy staff. Such a clean, welcoming home where nothing is too much bother. Highly recommended.

My husband went to Holme House for a respite stay and the staff were wonderful with him. He has lots of difficulties but nothing was too much trouble. He enjoyed his time there and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Holme House again.

Overall Experience
My uncle has been at Holme House for 12 months, he settled in really well, and not long after my auntie followed and they're both really happy. The staff are all friendly and can't do enough for the residents. The activities provided are fantastic and the activities staff go above and beyond for the residents. I myself haven't been there at mealtimes but my uncle says the meals are faultless. The manager is fantastic, very helpful, approachable, welcoming and friendly. Me and my family are happy that both Auntie and Uncle are really happy being there. Thank you to all.

Review from Catherine G (Sister of Resident) published on 19 December 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sister has been a resident of this care home for approximately 18 months. I bless the day she was admitted there. I live quite a distance away, but I am confident she is being well cared for, and this gives me peace of mind. The wonderful caring team, all patients and residents are looked after. All are clean, and the food is good.
Weekly activities, music and television are available for residents to participate in. My sister has a lovely, decorated, bright room surrounded by her personal belongings.

Overall Experience
It’s a lovely warm, happy and inviting care home. It’s clean and the staff are helpful and caring. The food is very good and they will accommodate requests.
The Clinical Lead Nurse is especially good and nothing is too much trouble. He doesn’t hide in his office. He sits in the day room doing his paperwork whilst jollying everyone along.

Review from David B (Son of Resident) published on 20 November 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The carers and senior carers all work very hard and are always willing to discuss my mum's care on the nursing floor. They genuinely do care and always try to encourage her when carrying out any aspect of her personal care. They work very well as a team and liaise well with the nurses. The nurses work professionally and are very good at identifying any medical issues and acting upon them promptly and efficiently. The home has a settled management team who are very approachable and efficient.

Review from Kathryn T (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has been cared for here for 8 years, first in residential care and more recently nursing care. Her care has been mainly good, especially since she's needed nursing. The carers and nurses are very kind and understand Mum's needs. We visit regularly and are always made welcome and can express our concerns and also our thanks to the staff and management. Mum has become more frail recently and her dementia has worsened, but the carers here are very kind and treat Mum with dignity and understanding.
I feel I can trust the nurses and carers to keep Mum safe at this difficult time.

Overall Experience
My granddad has recently been in Holme House for some respite care falling a fall at home and I can simply say they did an amazing job!
They welcomed him with open arms and cared for him so amazingly, that my granddad actually cried when he left.
The staff were so kind and caring. The management team were always on hand.

Review from J S (Son of Resident) published on 2 November 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I never thought I'd have to add a review like this. My father who was terminally ill was a resident for 3 weeks. On the first day I visited my father there was a pool of fluid from the catheter bag all over the floor and only after getting 4 different carers was it mopped up. I complained but 3 weeks later the issue of the catheter bag which was still left on the floor was never rectified.
Throughout his stay, I found many things unsatisfactory but none were ever addressed. Here are just a few. The wrong name was put on his room door. Dressed in someone else's top when I arrived to visit. The sink plug not open and the sink overflowing on at least 3 occasions. Dementia patients wander in and out of his room taking things. Never registered on care home computer for 3 full weeks.

If you call this quality care then God help you. I lost my father 3 weeks in and will regret ever leaving him.

Review from Shirley (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 July 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mother passed away at Holme House on 31st January 2020 at the age of 91. The care she received could not be faulted. She had Alzheimer's and her behaviour could be challenging but the staff were always very professional and caring. The carers actually care about the residents and there was always enough of them on duty to work efficiently. I would like to thank everyone who works there and wish them well for the future. In due course I would like to plant a rose bush in their garden in memory of my Mother - she would have liked that.
Lots of love.
