I have been a resident at hollyfields for over a year. One of the best homes I have been in, I have been in a couple which don't meet the Barchester standards. All staff are excellent and caring assiting me with my day to day life.

My Dad stayed in Hollyfields for a short time for respite care following a fall at home resulting in a broken hip. When Dad was transferred from a Local Authority Care Home, he was probably at the lowest I have seen him. The staff at Hollyfields were amazing in looking after him and building him
back up. Nothing was too much trouble, staff were kind, caring and responsive. The catering team were fantastic, catering to his needs by offering meals that he would prefer to menu. He felt valued as a person and enjoyed his chats with all the staff. After coming home he said he enjoyed his stay there,, we were very happy with the level of care he received during his stay.

Quite happy with the staff and care provided. Good communication. Excellent manager, very friendly and responsive.

I would not recommend sending a loved one to Barchester Hollyfields Care Home for end-of-life/palliative care. Issues were not dealt with in a professional manner, in fact, they were usually denied and told that our brother was "confused" when he had full mental capacity. In the final weeks of his
life, he had an infection for which medical attention was not sought. He also had a bed sore, which was completely avoidable with proper care. We found the manager to be lacking in any genuine empathy when we needed support. Most of the staff were lovely and kind, sadly this was overshadowed by the negative aspects we experienced.

My mother and father have been residents here, unfortunately, my mum passed away in June. Both received and are still receiving care above and beyond. I cannot fault anything. Staff are friendly and kind and go out of their way to make Dad's stay as comfortable and happy as possible.
Well done
all, keep up the good work everyone.

Dad was transferred to Hollyfields on Saturday 6th July am, from a hospital setting. The transfer notes apparently were not great. The home manager and support staff quickly sorted our problems by calling the duty doctor who prescribed suitable medication. During the very short time Dad was there,
he was treated with respect and great kindness. We couldn't have wished for a better setting for his last few days. (Dad was unable to take part in activities).

My husband is a long-term resident suffering from dementia. During this time, his needs, in all areas, have grown and become more complex. The staff have, at all times, provided the care, support and respect he needs as he loses his battle with Alzheimer's.
As a family, we are very grateful and
thank all the staff who make it possible.

From the first time we visited to assess Barchester Hollyfields Care Home (when we received a warm welcome as soon as we stepped inside) to the last day when Mom passed away peacefully, the standard of care the staff provided was first-class.
Mom was seriously ill but still able to communicate and
all the staff, from senior nurses to cleaners, were always chatting with Mom and making her feel at home.
In addition, whoever visited Mom, family or friends, we all were made to feel very welcome - the delicious cakes in reception will be long remembered!
Her time at Hollyfields was short but Mom received the best care possible.
Our thanks to the whole team.

My uncle was a resident at this amazing facility. The staff who cared for him during his final days were incredible. They cared for his every need, made him comfortable and supported the family through this hard time. The carers and nurses should take great pride in their job as they worked so hard
to look after my uncle. Can't speak highly enough of the place. Thank you for everything you did.

My mum's stay was relatively short at Hollyfields, but in that time she was cared for, looked after and loved by all the staff. Nothing was ever too much for them, so understanding and kept you well informed. Hollyfields and Ivy House is a homely place for your loved one to go to. Plenty of
activities, outings for tea and cake or even a meal, sometimes a garden centre. Food is absolutely delicious and nutritious. Mum particularly loved it when a singer or anything musical was on, up she was dancing. I would recommend anyone to go and take a look around. Thank you to everyone at Hollyfields for caring for Mum.

Everybody at Hollyfields are very kind and caring. My daughter-in-law's birthday was Sunday 3rd and a wonderful tea was put on. Many thanks to management and all the staff.

My Mom is a resident and she’s treated like the young woman she is, she always has a laugh with the careers and she is always smiling, for her birthday we came over and we had a party, the food was amazing and set out nicely. Great care home!

Since my wife was admitted to Barchester Hollyfields Care Home after previous respite care there I have been very impressed by the care she has received. Staff have been outstanding in the constant loving care given to her night and day especially when she has been unwell and needed to go to
hospital. Prompt and constant contact was made with me which I greatly appreciate.
Myself and family are warmly welcomed by kind and comforting words and a smile.
Every effort is made to encourage my wife to be involved in the wide and varied ongoing activities. Opportunities to join her in events both in the home and outside are much appreciated. She has settled into her new family very well and seems to enjoy being here despite her Dementia.
From the highest to the lowest, the staff support not only for my wife but also for me has been exemplary in a life-changing time in our married life. A big thank you to everyone!

Amazing staff. My wife, who is currently being cared for there, gets treated with respect and care. Staff are amazing and management show love to all. My wife currently has been a resident for a few years now and feel safe knowing she is being looked after 100%.

My dad was transferred from an NHS hospital to Barchester Hollyfields Care Home for end-of-life care. I found that the staff were excellent and really did go the extra mile to make my dad's short life there as good as possible. They treated him with compassion and dignity. I walked in on many
occasions to find that a member of staff was sat with him holding his hand and talking. They also gave support to me at a most difficult time.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Hollyfields for over 2 years. She has always received excellent dementia care and all her needs are met by professional and caring Barchester staff. Hollyfields staff are friendly and welcoming and always on hand to answer questions and queries. I am happy
leaving my loved one knowing she is being looked after well in a safe and caring environment. Food is excellent.

I am very satisfied with the care my partner receives from all members of staff.
The manager is very supportive, responding to any questions I may have and managing my partner's healthcare. A great team of people from all departments who care about the residents. I would highly recommend this home.
