A very caring environment when nothing was too much trouble for staff.
Varying needs were well met and adjusted accordingly as the situation changed.
Information was regularly given on any change of medication or health issues were always notiy
29 January 2026
Completely satisfied with all aspects of care. Staff are friendly and caring, helpful and pleasant. Always helpful, can't fault anything.

I would like to sincerely thank ALL staff for making my stepmothers stay a very pleasant experience. I cannot believe the difference in her mental health and wellbeing, if feels like we have my old stepmother back as she was before. The last two years has been extremely difficult for the family
and my 92 year old father to see her deteriorate. She was admitted two weeks ago as a result of my father having a fall and breaking his hip, needing surgery and hospitalization. We are hoping dad can join mum soon and I an 100% confidence in the staff in caring for them both going forward. Taking my mum in has given the whole family relief in knowing she is being cared for so well and has allowed us to concentrate on dad while in the hospital.
I have nothing but praise for ALL the staff and hope that if ever I am in need of care then I would love to be in Holyrood House without any doubt.
WELL DONE TO ALL STAFF - WE AS A FAMILY LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH IN MAKING US PART OF YOUR FAMILY.

I have nothing but praise for this care home. All the staff are really caring and helpful. I have cared for my friend for the last 8 years, as I promised her I would not put her in a care home, as you hear so many stories; however, how wrong I was Holyrood House is a beautiful home and the staff
make it wonderful, you are never made to feel like a burden when you ask the same questions over again. I hope that when I'm older, I can be looked after at Holyrood House.

I have been visiting for a number of years now and feel that the services have improved during that time. The home is clean & the residents are cared for very well. Activities have helped to give the residents things to occupy their time, and I have always been made welcome when I have visited.

A lovely, clean, friendly care home with excellent staff. The rooms are nicely furnished and there are plenty of activities for the residents to get involved in if they wish. All the staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. I would definitely recommend.

My mum came to Holyrood House after several weeks in hospital. She was poorly throughout her stay, often agitated and regularly falling. The staff on the 1st floor were patient and kind towards her without exception. After a very short time it felt like the staff knew my mum and they seemed to like
her and they understood her needs. They adapted her bed and room to ensure she was safe and comfortable. When she was at the stage of end of life care they were very attentive and sensitive. The staff at Holyrood are heroes to me and should be paid a professional salary that acknowledges their skills in managing the complex needs of the elderly, sick and dying.

I cannot speak more highly of everyone on the staff at Holyrood, for the excellent, caring kind and considerate care they gave to my brother and our family.
This wonderful team are a credit to their profession and a marvellous asset to the surrounding community of Knottingley.
On behalf of my
entire family thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

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.
21 August 2025
The home is very well kept. Staff are amazing with lots of empathy. The care received is 100%.
Well done, all you carers and management, keep up the good work.
I would recommend Holyrood House to anyone looking for a home to home environment.

Thank you for looking after my mum and dad. They both passed away in April, but the staff were absolutely amazing. They all became very good friends, including some residents.
20 August 2025
My mum & dad were both residents in Holyrood for just over 10 months. But sadly passed away. The way we were treated was amazing. My patents were looked after perfectly to the end. Since then, we have still been treated like best friends. It has helped us come to terms with our loss. The staff are
all brilliant & amazing.

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

I make no apologies for the length of this review.
When did could no longer manage physically at home he went to live at Holyrood House, the staff from the start were amazing - kind and lovely and after an initial adjustment period did settled in and Holyrood became his home.
He enjoyed the
company, toddling down to the lovely dining room where he had a window seat and say with another chap of similar age.
The staff, although busy, always took time to say hello to him and make a fuss, and he in turn had flourished under their love and care. He put on weight and looked better than he had since mum died 5 years earlier .and we knew he was safe from harm there.
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.

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.

Both my Grandma and Grandad were residents in Holyrood for 10 months. Unfortunately both passed away in April 2025, but the care they were given was excellent especially at the end of their life. They were both on the Dementia ward, the staff were very caring and treated them like family. We
couldn't praise them enough. Thank you for looking after them so well.

The staff at Holyrood can't do enough for the residents here. There is such a genuine care for everyone they look after, something I'd never seen before in other homes. The residents adore the staff and you can see how much this impacts their quality of life.
The carers go above and beyond to
completely understand the needs of the residents (not just medical) but social and even their sense of humour.
The enrichment activities they organise are always fantastic, rooms and social areas are immaculate and the food is fantastic.
Particularly if your relative suffers from dementia I would highly recommend this fantastic home.

I have a friend, that is having a short stay here for a while, and I would like to have my say, and thank you so much for caring for my friend!
