The Hollies Nursing & Residential Home

Based on visits over a period of years to the father of a dear friend. These visits clearly only provided snapshots and cannot be taken to represent any comprehensive four-time analysis. However, the impression has always been favourable of a concerned and committed care environment coping well under great pressure and providing a good standard of service.

We really didn't want to have to place Nan into a care home, but the staff have become friends now and always let us know how she has been and if anything isn't right they let us know as soon as possible.

Friendly staff and great activities for residents. Good food and care and respect shown at all times by staff.

Excellent home, caring, professional and safe environment.

My mother has been in The Hollies since March last year after spending three months in hospital. In this time she has thrived at this home having arrived at a very low weight from hospital she has put on about one and a half stone through eating so well and although she has quite severe dementia she is happy and healthy in her surrounding always clean and smart in her very pleasant room and the care she receives is of a very high standard. The staff are amazing and always have time for you and give my mother more than adequate attention often going above and beyond the call of duty to make her happy and comfortable. The surrounding are clean bright and spacious and there are many activities to keep the residents occupied. We are always kept completely up to date on mum's condition by the very competent staff and excellent management team. We would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone and have no regrets whatsoever with our decision to place her there.

I have visited many care home and I have to admit The Hollies is the best care home that I have ever been in. You can go at any time, any day and you will always get a warm welcome from the staff and the cleanliness of the home is second to none.

Whilst looking for a placement suitable for my mother, I came across this absolute gem of a place. The Hollies Nursing & Residential Home is everything I could have wished for. The staff are just lovely, friendly and welcoming with surroundings and facilities are all as you would hope for. It's a very difficult thing to deal with having to put a loved one into a care facility, but The Hollies Nursing & Residential Home staff have made it an altogether easier thing to do with their homely and friendly approach to care. I would happily recommend that you look at this lovely home.

The home quite good. The food is very good and it is very clean. I find the staff are lovely.

My Mother is now living in The Hollies care home. The whole family are very pleased with the care she receives and the manner in which the care is given. She is always treated with dignity and respect. The staff are very friendly and helpful and it is always a pleasure to visit my mother as you are always made welcome. My mother is happy in her own way. I have worked in a care home for 15 years before I retired so I know when I see a good home with excellent care and The Hollies is that.

More day trips.

My father continues to do well in The Hollies, and I remain extremely satisfied with the quality of care and attention he receives. He has now been resident for 3 and a half years; he is in better health, at the age of 103, than when he arrived. The staff are friendly, supportive and totally committed to the welfare of the residents. There is a varied programme of activities, the food is good and the manager is efficient, but very approachable. I can recommend The Hollies.

Our mother has been a resident in the nursing home for several years. Throughout this period we have been impressed by the dedication of the staff. They have treated our mother with dignity and respect. Not only have the staff supported our mother but have also supported and welcomed family and friends. For the last two nights we have stayed at the home. This has given us the opportunity to observe the night time staff. The care has been of an excellent standard. All members of staff have a positive attitude and have shared moments of joyous laughter with my mother and us, celebrating life with all it's ups and downs. I have written this on behalf of my brother, sister and myself.

Would like more help when walking as sight is practically non-existent.

I cannot explain how happy I am with mum's care at The Hollies. I never imagined how professional and caring the staff could be. The daily routine is always filled with numerous activities and most important my mum is happy. Special recommendation should go to the activity co-ordinator, she is an angel. Also all the other carers are so professional. I always feel relieved to leave mum knowing she is so well looked after. "Thank you, The Hollies".

This care home is of a very high standard and extremely well managed in my opinion. This is testimony to the dedication and work of the staff who are always on hand to offer support and advice. We are very happy with the current arrangements and care provision being offered to the family.

I have an aunt resident here. She finds it a lovely, friendly caring home. The staff are helpful and the management in particular are very approachable when you need to chat or if you have any concerns. Thoroughly recommend them.

Hospitality superb. Very friendly staff showing great interest in their care.

My father has been in The Hollies for over a year. I have only encountered lovely people who are happy to make my father's last years as good as they can be. All staff, cleaners, cooks, carers and management are kind, courteous, have a sense of humour and make up a strong team. I had to go away for a month and everyone gave dad extra time to chat and tried to keep his spirits up, even when he can be rather hard work.
