Overall, this is a good care home. The staff are friendly and caring, but are often rushed - especially at bedtime. The one thing that lets this home down is the food.

I have found the care home a welcoming and friendly environment. The staff have been supportive of my dad as a resident and also us as a family. The care home has taken the time to get to know my dad and this has enabled him to settle into his new environment. Staff take the time to run activities and keep residents stimulated and interested.

Very happy here. The day we arrived, another resident said to us 'he'll be happy here," and she was right. Entertainment very good, and everyone included regardless of ability. Doesn't complain about the food, and he's a fussy eater. Lots of lovely cake!! The staff inspire confidence. Very attentive to the needs of the residents.

The care and cooperation is outstanding friendly staff. My wife is very happy here and up to now very well looked after. Entertainment is more than adequate. My opinion is that the care home is well run.

VE Day Celebrations. Singer was ok, which the residents liked. We were encouraged to join in (as usual), we didn't feel pressured and enjoyed every minute. I like that all the staff joined in and dressed up for the occasion. Always a pleasure to visit.

I was invited to attend VE Day party which was excellent. Quite a few residents and guests were persuaded to take to the floor and dance the afternoon away. The music was provided by a solo singer (didn't get his name) and everyone joined in with his selection of songs. The refreshments were excellent, especially the cupcakes.

I am extremely happy that my dad is a resident here. I think everyone who works here are very caring and always make sure that all needs are taken care of. I'm very happy that I was the first person who was contacted when my dad has his accident.

Many thank for the care given to my mum in the last 10 years. I have always known that she has been in safe and caring hands and well looked after. Communication has always been excellent between the home and family. Once again many thanks.

This was short term emergency respite care, I have always been apprehensive about using this service, however, it surpassed my expectations. The allocated room was nicely furnished with its own toilet and sink and very clean. I found the management and staff to be very friendly, kind, caring and courteous to both myself and my mum. I cannot thank the Manager and her team enough for the kindness they have shown to mum. The only improvement I could suggest would be intermittent air fresheners strategically placed.

This care home has gone above and beyond for my grandmother, she was really well looked after and managed to do things during her time here that she wouldn't have ever got to do. She was happy and contented here. All the staff are incredible and really friendly. A huge thank you to all the staff, it really is a lovely care home.

Both my father in law and mother in law had been living at Holmewood Care Home this year until both of them passed away. The care they both recieved was 100%. Nothing is to much trouble for the carers, even when both of them were on palliative care, they would watch them right to the end. The entertainment lady is so good with the residents, taking them out on outings, doing things in the home with them, singing in the rooms when poorly. Also the manager in the home will do anything to help, always comes around to speak to the residents and puts a lot of work into the home. I would highly recommend this home. The cleaners do the rooms everyday.

My father is a resident, he has been at Holmewood Care Home since February 2024 and settled immediately thanks to the lovely atmosphere and loving staff and carers. He is well cared for and seems genuinely happy and content. My Mum and I visit several times a week and he is always well dressed and clean. His room and the communal areas are tidy. Dad has had a few health issues since moving in, but we are always kept well informed, he is well monitored and cared for when poorly and timely medical attention sought if necessary. The food is good, Dad eats well and is encouraged to stay hydrated with drinks he will enjoy. Cannot fault the dedication of the staff, they work so hard.

My grandad has improved significantly since admission to Holmewood Care Home, he is much brighter in his mood, has more colour in his cheeks and overall seems really well. The staff here have been absolutely fantastic and such a brilliant support in what has been a very difficult time. I cannot thank them enough!

This care home is really the best I could wish for, for dad. Everywhere is always so clean and tidy. The menu is better than what I'd ever imagained. Every single member of staff is amazing and very friendly. I can well and truly recommend this place to anyone.

The care home did not know that my son and I were visiting. We were greet at the entrance with cheerful staff. We happened to arrive just as activities were starting, making Christmas cards, a quiz and some singing. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Thank you.

Mum is doing really well here. She is very well looked after by all the care staff who are really caring from my experience they go above and beyond to help the residents with their individual needs and to make sure they stay safe.
