It was a pleasure to look after your Mum and we are so pleased the family were pleased with her care.
My friend moved in here 2 years ago, and I must admit I didn't think she would like it, but with the friendliness of the staff, she really enjoyed her time in the home.

My dad stayed at Holyrood from April to July 2025 and we were very impressed, particularly with the office staff and the staff who took care of him. They are amazing, kind people who cared for him, and even took him out for a day trip. They chatted with him, made him cups of tea whenever they saw him and our family are extremely grateful to them. Its always a worrying time when a family member needs care away from the home but they put our minds at rest quickly. thank you

The regular staff really are a happy and caring family for the residents, there is sometimes a need for agency staff, who may be perfectly fine but dad likes the regular staff best as they knew him.His room was lovely - bright and spacious. Dad died just after he he'd had a fuss made for his 88th birthday - surrounded in love.
Thank you so much for your kind words, they really do mean a lot to the hard working staff team. Your dad was a lovely and popular resident who showed kindness and compassion to the staff at all times. He is greatly missed.
Holyrood House is a caring and welcoming place to be. The residents are happy and settled the staff go above and beyond. My mum is happy and content here, and I have no concerns for her welfare at all.

The staff have been amazing, from the management team to the care team, and have made what has been a very difficult decision for our family, to have my grandma move into a permanent residency here at Holyrood as easily and as smoothly as possible. At every stage, they have met our concerns with an understanding and empathy and especially towards my grandma who is the most important person to us. I would like to recognise 2 individuals on my grans level, they have been wonderful and have helped settle my grandma in so well, they are an asset to your team. The management and admin team have also been great towards us helping manage our feelings and worries whilst my grandma has been settling in, especially the assistant manager, by reassuring me and always there to help with this difficult transition.
Thank you so much for your very kind words. We strive as a team to give our residents and families the best possible experience. We are aware that placing your loved one in residential care is a very difficult decision and has a lot of mixed emotions for all concerned. We are so pleased that the transition was as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your comments regarding Holyrood House Care Home. I am sorry that you feel that some areas of the home are not satisfactory. I have passed on your concerns regarding the cleanliness of the rooms, paying particular attention to all of the areas you raised. The kitchen make every effort to ensure that all the vegetables are fresh with exception to those that are purchased in a frozen format. If your loved one would like a larger portion of food then this is always available if they are able to ask, or if you would like to ask on their behalf. I have discussed entertainment/activities with the activity co-coordinator who will endeavor to ensure that they continue to encourage all of the residents who wish to participate in entertainment.
I feel my mums needs are met here. Thank you Holyrood House for looking after her. Staff are very caring, although she doesn't participate due to her Parkinson's there are plenty of activity's for clients.

Even at 85 years old and raised in a family of 3 daughters, I recognise I am not easy to help. Having been like all, independent for those years. However, the young lady assistor who brightens my life with her bright smile and willingness to assist immediately there is a call (from either resident or colleague) and often without provocation, I have recently learned her name. She is crammed with good intentions, in what could become a difficult situation in the hands of others, less observant. Where she gets the all power wish to jump to it, wherever she is stationed brings awe to the beholder.
We are always pleased to assist you with all aspects of your care at Holyrood House Care Home, and we are pleased that you find one of the staff such a pleasure with her bright smile and willingness to assist. We hope you enjoy your continued time here.
Admin team was amazing and really helpful, always greeted with a smile.

Since leaving college I have always worked within the care sector. I have worked in Holyrood House for 9 years, throughout my time here I have had a number of roles progressing from a Team Leader to my current role of Deputy Manager, working alongside the Home Manager to lead and support the team. Crown Care have given me the opportunities to progress further within my career.
Holyrood is one of the best teams I have worked for within the care sector, every member of staff genuinely cares and strives to deliver a high standard of care for each resident. There is also a great support network within the team, there is always a laugh to be had and ear for listening. It is a pleasure to be a part of team Holyrood!

Hi I am Gill, the Business Administrator at Holyrood House. I have 35 years of admin experience mainly in the Education Sector where I worked as Office Manager before becoming a Business Manager. I left Education to move into an extremely niche role within the Wakefield’s Safeguarding Adults Board where I was first introduced to Adult Social Care. I loved working within this sector and was then offered the position at Holyrood House. I enjoy the variety of the role with each day been totally different, I particularly enjoy meeting the families and trying to make their decision of moving a loved one into care as seamless as possible. I enjoy interaction with the residents having chance to put a smile of their faces is priceless and so rewarding. The staff team are like one huge family and we love working as a team always ensuring our residents have enjoyment during their time at Holyrood House.

I'm Georgia, the Receptionist at Holyrood House. Whilst studying at College, I completed a Business Administration course. I then started my career working for a construction company in the administration/receptionist sector, gaining lots of knowledge and experience, before moving to Holyrood House, where I have been part of the team for over 3 years now. I really enjoy working at Holyrood and love the team I work with. I feel my skills and confidence have massively expanded since working here, and I really enjoy the working environment and meeting new people in my busy role.

I have been part of the team at Holyrood House, since 2016. I was encouraged to further my development early into my career gaining level 2 NVQ in adult social care and then onto my Level 3 diploma.

My name is Vinoda Nadungodage, and I bring nearly two years of experience in the care sector. I have successfully worked as a care assistant in a care home and as a community carer. Since 2024, I have been proud to be a part of the team at Holyrood House, where I thrive in contributing to our mission of providing exceptional care as a senior carer. Having worked in the care sector for a short period, I initially felt some nerves about joining a larger team at Holyrood House. However, I was warmly welcomed by everyone, who wholeheartedly cared about one other as well as the residents. I feel both supported and appreciated in this environment. I am committed to delivering the highest standard of person-centred care that Holyrood House enables. It is a pleasure to work alongside such dedicated professionals. The Holyrood House is an exquisite residence with elegant and cosy amenities, which renders it an excellent place to work.
