  • Holbrook Hall, Belper
Holbrook Hall is a highly regarded care home in Holbrook, Belper. It is a splendid William and Mary period country house set in 4 acres of beautiful, well-stocked gardens.

In 1985 it was converted to a residential care home for the elderly containing 35 fine individual bedrooms, the majority with en-suite facilities/wet rooms and superb views across the adjacent gardens and beautiful countryside.

Holbrook Hall has had the pleasure to care for many people, from short-term respite care and daytime care to full-time residents.

Keeping their residents happy is of prime concern and as their Facebook page will vouch; they are forever thinking of different ways to entertain their guests.

The home has a well-earned reputation for conforming to the highest standards of care, safety, comfort and cuisine and has the testimonials to prove it!

My husband spent nearly three months at Holbrook Hall where he was always treated with great kindness, thoughtful care and close attention before his death in late December. He became very fond of many of the staff. I couldn't have hoped for more.

Holbrook Hall is a very friendly, caring place. When I arrived on Christmas Eve, in spite of the carers having their own Christmas plans they were all very friendly and helpful and I felt looked after immediately. Since then I have got to know many of the carers by name and they take their jobs very
seriously and are very well trained. I was pleasantly surprised by the freedom of choice regarding the food, I could have anything I wanted for breakfast. Lunchtime there is plenty of variety, well cooked and large portions if you so wish. For tea, there's soup and sandwiches and other choices too. Throughout the day the coffee and tea trolley comes around regularly. A cuppa in bed when waking is very much appreciated, so this was much better than living on my own and having to do everything for myself. The lady who runs the activities is very enthusiastic and full of ideas to keep us happily occupied. There's a large range of books to read and games to play that you can access at anytime.

I returned home last night after a couple of days visiting Dad in Holbrook Hall, and wish to record how amazing the care home is. Dad has lived there since July last year, and he is content and at peace, grateful for the care and attention of the staff, the plentiful and varied food, and also the beautiful
setting. When I visit he loves sitting in the conservatory looking out across the valley. The home is situated in beautiful grounds, and there were plenty of opportunities last summer for residents to enjoy sitting and walking in the gardens, and picnics too.
I am very grateful to all the staff for their loving care and attentiveness, going the extra mile, and always with a smile and cheerful disposition. The number and variety of activities that are laid on each day is amazing, the desire of the activities assistant being to make the lives of the residents as full and happy as is possible.
There is a lovely family feel to the home, and I thoroughly recommend it.

Reply from Hannah Henshaw, Regional Manager at Holbrook Hall

Thank you for your wonderful review of our lovely home. To hear your dad is content and at peace residing at Holbrook Hall makes all our hard work worthwhile. Best wishes from Holbrook Hall.

Having visited my Uncle for the first time over Christmas, I was thrilled to see how happy he was. He has developed some great friendships amongst the residents and staff. The staff really get my Uncle and his quirky personality, it's lovely to see that he's totally himself.
We were offered a drink
which was served with a plate of biscuits.
His room was great and very personal to him, with his pictures hung on the walls.
The home and staff were really above and beyond anything I'd expected.
I left the visit feeling very happy and thankful to all who make Holbrook Hall a great place to live.

Mum has been at Holbrook Hall since May 2024 and is very happy there. The facilities and environment at the home are very good, a range of menu options through the week, nice communal spaces where residents can relax and a lovely garden area. A lot of effort goes into organising a range of activities
for residents throughout each week, including entertainment, hobbies and trips out. Mum has made lots of new friends and really enjoys the daily social interactions with other residents and the carers. The staff and carers themselves are exceptional, working hard to make sure the residents are well looked after and dealing with individual requirements and requests. Knowing Mum is in a caring environment and is being well looked after is very comforting. We are very happy that Mum has settled into Holbrook so well and enjoy visiting and spending time with her in such a nice environment.

Reply from Hannah Henshaw, Regional Manager at Holbrook Hall

Thank you for sharing your review about our home; it has been shared with our dedicated team. It's reassuring to hear that your mum is settled, happy and interacting with her peers socially. We place heavy focus on social stimulation and realise the benefits to residents' wellbeing when encouraged to participate in meaningful activities. Best wishes from Holbrook Hall.

As a family we really appreciate everything Holbrook Hall Care Home provides for our father. It's great seeing him so happy and settled. A couple of years ago, as a family we were in a very different place having just lost my mum. We had been through a really difficult time. The staff at Holbrook Hall
Care Home could not have done more to help my dad settle in when he joined them 18 months ago. He has made a lot of friends, goes on plenty of trips and enjoys all the varied activities that are organised for the residents. He has his independence and is able to walk around the beautiful grounds, and the trips have been great. He's visited a local friendship group, the pub and the seaside to name a few. The staff work really hard to achieve all this, special mention to the member of staff who organises the activities, and to catering who even bake cakes for each resident to celebrate birthdays. For the first time in years we are able to relax knowing that dad is happy and safe.

Reply from Hannah Henshaw, Regional Manager at Holbrook Hall

A lovely review of our service which is testimony to the hard work of our loyal team; thank you! We focus on promoting the independence of our residents and support positive risk taking to ensure they are able to lead the lives they choose with the appropriate level of support as required. Our activities co-ordinator works tirelessly to ensure the activities schedule is jam packed full, with something for everyone. We recognise the importance of maintaining links with our local community and the benefits on resident wellbeing of getting out and about and doing everyday things like going to the DIY store to choose paint or visiting the library - or the pub! Best wishes from Holbrook Hall.

My mother-in-law comments on how lovely the staff are to her, how delicious the food is and she really loves the room she has. We are all so impressed with the quality of care she receives and all the activities that go on within the care home. I've noticed how tired my mother-in-law is because she
has been doing so many more things than she was used to in her own home and that has improved her mobility and her alertness. I was very impressed that in the first week she was taken out in the minibus to a community Centre which she told us all about. It is lovely to see what she has been doing on Facebook. I really appreciate the list of what activities there are to do each day which are varied and in some instances unusual!. My husband turned up with a friend to the cake and a cuppa event which they really enjoyed, it's a lovely way to involve everyone with some residents even making the cakes. A very caring care home.

Reply from Hannah Henshaw, Regional Manager at Holbrook Hall

Thank you for providing such a wonderful review about our lovely home. We recognise the importance of involving friends and family in all that we do and want residents to treat Holbrook Hall as 'home.' We regularly seek feedback from residents and relatives and make improvements and changes based on their views so that we provide a service that meets the needs of those we serve. It's so positive to hear your mother-in-law has experienced improved outcomes in relation to her mobility and alertness which tells us we're doing something right! Best wishes from Holbrook Hall.

Holbrook Hall administration and staff care for ALL the residents. They are quick to respond to emails and phone calls. The staff work incredibly hard to make sure care plans are followed and the needs of the residents are met and supported. The activities coordinator makes it her mission to include
all residents. She designs seasonal activities including music, outings, exercise, gardening, baking and guest speakers to enhance the daily living of residents. Facebook posts keep families informed. Monthly meetings provide residents input into their home. Meeting minutes are provided promptly to families. Holbrook Hall has undergone sympathetic refurbishment and cleanliness is a priority at the home.
My mum is settled and happy at Holbrook Hall which gives our family such a sense of relief. The administration team are responsive and very approachable. Holbrook Hall is such a lovely place to live your life, make new friends, participate in activities and enjoy the magnificent views.

I visited Holbrook Hall Care home a few times in December 2024 and saw how well the residents were cared for. The activities that are put on for them are fantastic and it was nice to see the residents joining in. The quality of the food they are served is also excellent. Every member of staff that I
saw was very welcoming and spoke lovely to all the residents. The residents that I spoke to all said what a lovely place it is and complimented many of the members of staff. It's a truly wonderful care home in a beautiful countryside setting.

From the moment I called Holbrook Hall and had a look around, in 2015, I knew it was going to be the right place for my brother. He had complex needs but that didn't bother the staff, they embraced him and were very patient with him. I found the Hall well kept, no smells, clean and tidy. The staff were
friendly and caring, they encouraged him to join in with the activities, and I thank my lucky stars my brother was very happy there, until his passing in May 2024.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Holbrook Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.753 for Holbrook Hall is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.753

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holbrook Hall is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2023

I’m Rebecca, the Home Manager at Holbrook Hall. I've been in the Health and Social Care sector for almost six years now. I have progressed up the ranks due to my drive, determination, and dedication to providing service users with person-centred care and ensuring that they are treated with dignity, equality, and respect throughout their time at a service. I’m very proud of the collaborative relationships that I have built with service users, their families, fellow employees, and healthcare professionals during my career. I am constantly looking for ways to improve my knowledge of the industry and over the past three years, I have completed over sixteen level two/three qualifications independently as well as NVQ 2, and NVQ 3 and I am currently partway through my NVQ5. I am passionate about compliance and implementing positive change in services.
