View Full Details of Holly LodgeWell what can I say! My father in law passed October 2024 and we had to find a home for my mother in law. I rang a few in the area but didn't feel a sense of caring from all but one, Holly Lodge. This was the only one I felt I could visit and from the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be lovely. The staff were so friendly and the home beautifully decorated, so clean and smelt fresh unlike stories I had been told from friends in the past who have had experience with other homes. The bedroom is spacious and en-suite and is very much like a hotel. The food we smell on a regular basis and definitely makes you want to join them for lunch! My mother has been here now for 12 months and is settled. She has her hair done weekly and a chiropodist comes regularly for a foot pamper. She has even found a good friend and they are inseparable which is lovely to know. We visit each week, sometimes with the grandsons and always made welcome with a cup of tea, we are like part of the family!
My mother has been a resident at Holly Lodge for the last 13 years. During that time she has had and continues to have an excellent standard of care. The staff have been there for years and all know mum well. They all genuinely care about all of the residents and work very hard to ensure that they are all stimulated and happy. Mum is always dressed nicely, her hair is done every week. If mum has to go on hospital visits a member of staff accompanies her, as mum has Alzhelmers and doesn't recognise my brother and I anymore; she is more comfortable with the staff members. I would recommend anyone who wants a parent to be looked after with professionalism, compassion and empathy, in a friendly homelike environment to consider Holly Lodge. I rate them very highly and am grateful for all of their years of support in looking after my mum.
