  • The Hollies Care Centre, Dursley
The Hollies Care Centre at Littlecombe Park provides compassionate residential, nursing, dementia and respite care for people with a range of care needs, with round the clock care offered by a team of dedicated and well-trained staff.

The Hollies is family run and this is evident in the welcoming and family-like care given to all residents. The home is purpose-built, all rooms with an en-suite, and some with a terrace. There are two luxurious garden suites that offer even more space and privacy.

Catering at the Hollies is considered excellent with a focus on fresh produce and homemade dishes. Celebration events are performed beautifully – staff go all out to create special days to remember. All dietary needs are catered for.

Our mum has been a resident for a few weeks now. They have done nothing but show her care and kindness. They have made sure that she has settled and also shown me so much support. It is a big thing in one's life to give up your home but at 97 years young she is ready. Mum has a lovely room with her
own bathroom. Mum looks like a different person. Mum is treated with dignity and respect. She has company all day and is involved with the activities that happen every day. She also feels safe and secure. The nutrition is second to none. Mum is so happy and very well cared for. I cannot thank the manager and her staff for all they have done and are continuing to do for Mum and for us.

Reply from Sadie Lynn, Administrator at The Hollies Care Centre

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We are thoroughly enjoying having your mum with us. She is a strong character who often makes me laugh and is a very well liked resident in the home. We are only too happy to hear that she is enjoying her time with us.

My mum came to the Hollies for palliative care in August 2024. The staff who looked after my mum in the final month of her life were outstanding. Every single member of staff went out of their way to look after her and make her feel welcome and safe. The care staff are amazing and even travelled long
distances to obtain the medication my mum needed. Mum was in a beautiful room, with a deck outside for her to enjoy the fresh air. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated in very calming colours. Initially she was able to enjoy the many activities and a trip off-site before she became too poorly to participate. She really appreciated that she could still take part in life.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Hollies and will always be grateful for the peace of mind the staff gave whilst Mum was there. Thank you.

My mother sadly had an unexpected hospital stay and terminal diagnosis. Unable to return home, The Hollies was an easy choice to make; an incredibly positive, professional and technically competent organisation with high standards. Nursing staff traveled to Merseyside, to assess her specific needs and
personal preferences, before coordinating a transfer. It was a huge relief to have this support. Care was dignified and professional. Staff went 'over and above' all expectations to make her comfortable and supported (and they provided fun!). Genuinely caring people, who do a tough and difficult job. The facility is high quality and a very pleasant environment with an excellent range of activities. Gardens are tranquil with a variety of birds and wildlife. As a family, we visited daily and felt very comfortable. Always welcome, nothing was too much to ask. With their help, we had 5 months of quality time and are forever grateful to The Hollies. I can recommend them highly - they were superb.

Reply from Chloe Ebbs, Administrator at The Hollies Care Centre

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It really was an honour to have been able to support your mother during her time with us. I know many members of staff miss her and will remember her fondly. We are always striving to ensure that our residents receive the best care possible so it is encouraging that our hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. I will be sure to pass your kind comments on to our staff.

I booked into The Hollies after an operation on my right hand. I was told I would not be able to use it for at least a week and as I live on my own it seemed possible to book in for a week 'holiday' at The Hollies. It was definitely the right thing to do. I was very well looked after, in spite of being
a very private and capable person I never felt patronised. Nurses performed their tasks efficiently and patiently. The food was always scrumptious. So I went home feeling much refreshed and able to carry on with life as before. In the past I ran my own nursing home and therefore realised the difficulties that had to be overcome to run a home so efficiently. If I could afford it I would have no worries about going to The Hollies again maybe for a longer time or even permanently if it becomes impossible to live on my own.

Reply from Chloe Ebbs, Administrator at The Hollies Care Centre

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience with us here at The Hollies. We work very hard to ensure that all of our residents receive the best possible care. We wish you all the best as you continue with your recovery and we hope that you will give us a call should we be able to help in the future.

The Hollies is set in a beautiful location, with various buildings and apartments to suit the needs of those it serves. I was very impressed with the high standard of decoration and cleanliness and felt as if I were staying in a luxurious hotel with stunning grounds and view. But this would be nothing
without the excellent nursing and caring staff who are second to none. I can't praise them enough. I would be very happy to come here again should the need arise. Every person who lives here is treated with dignity and respect and the atmosphere is one of family. It is friendly and a happy place to be in - just right for any who need the special care that is needed after an operation and aids in recovery in every way, as you rest and receive their tender, love and care.

The care given to Dad for the last months of his life was outstanding. Every member of the team contributed to his well-being and comfort. Everyone knew his name. I was so impressed with the whole ethos of The Hollies. The kindness and support our family experienced was above and beyond. The registered
manager and the head of clinical care were awesome from the beginning. The rooms are spacious and some with decking too. All are ensuite. Freshly painted for arrival. The nursing care given was exceptional. Special thanks to you all.

My mum was looking into respite care for post-op recovery and found The Hollies. She was really impressed with the staff, in particular their medical knowledge and attention to detail. Mum only intended to stay for a few weeks, but sadly received a terminal diagnosis, so her stay at The Hollies became
permanent. We had many chats about Mum potentially moving back home, but she was adamant about staying at The Hollies as she felt so comfortable there. I was particularly impressed by the continuity of care; all the staff got to know my mum very well and she really enjoyed chatting with them every day. For me that was so reassuring, as I knew that Mum was seeing the same faces every day and every staff member was up to date with regards to her care plan/medication etc. After every visit, I left knowing that my Mum was in very safe hands. I felt very supported during my mum's last few days and I was able to stay in the neighbouring room which meant I was there for the precious final few hours.

Reply from Chloe Ebbs, Admissions Co-ordinator at The Hollies Care Centre

Thank you for your review and I have passed this on to our staff as your kind comments have touched all of our hearts. Your mother is missed dearly by all departments of The Hollies. She made such a huge positive impression on us all and we are pleased to know that she was happy with the standards of care we provided. We are also satisfied to know that the treatment you received made you feel supported and comfortable with having The Hollies look after her. We hope you are doing well and once again, thank you for the lovely comments.

Mum and Dad moved into The Hollies in December 2020 and lived there for just over 2 and 3 years respectively. The care they were given was exceptional - the staff showed them enormous kindness and respect, and we felt wonderfully supported as a family. Nothing was too much trouble, and when Mum died,
Dad was looked after with love and compassion which helped him cope at a really difficult time. We know that moving them to The Hollies was the best decision we could have made - they couldn't have asked for better care.

A very distressing visit. Advised that 2 hourly medication for pain relief arrived after 6 hours. Missing meals arriving very late. Bed made at 3.30 pm on the day I visited at my request. Very sad lack of care, depending on staff who understand somebody's 'state' when suffering from severe pain.

Both my parents became residents at The Hollies Care Centre, my mother at Holly Oaks and my father at The Hollies. We can not thank the staff enough for the excellent care they were both given during this time. From the first visit to arrange care for my mother, the team were welcoming and friendly,
Dad then joined her a few months later, when Mum sadly passed away they supported all of us, going above and beyond by moving Dad in with Mum at this precious time and supporting him afterwards. Dad had a further happy year at The Hollies where he enjoyed the activities and trips out and made many friends. Dad was well looked after in the week leading up to his death and again, the team supported all the family. A big thank you for looking after both so well.

The Management and staff were fantastic and extremely knowledgeable and highly trained. My father received exemplary care from the get-go until he sadly passed away. The home

My father has been a resident at The Hollies for a few months now, and I (and my family) are very happy with the excellent care he receives. All the staff that we have come into contact with, from all areas of the home, are friendly, helpful, and extremely caring. It is great to be able to visit at
any time as there are no restrictions. The room is lovely, and there is a good choice of vegetarian food, which always looks very appetising. There are a range of activities on a daily basis and really well-organised special events that friends and family can attend, which Dad has enjoyed. It is a very stressful time moving a loved one into a care home, but the staff were so helpful and supportive to us, and we felt very lucky to have such a lovely home nearby for Dad. A big thank you to everyone at The Hollies for looking after Dad so well.

As a family, we couldn’t speak more highly of The Hollies and the exceptional love and care they demonstrated not only to our mum but to each and every member of the family and her friends. We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to have Mum looked after so beautifully. The staff are really special,
kind-hearted individuals and made a home away from home for all of us. The dignity and respect which every member of staff displayed was over and above, we were really touched by the genuine care of every person we met. We received excellent medical support and enjoyed a fantastic coronation weekend and Christmas Day - all of which helped to make really special memories for us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for The Hollies Care Centre 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.807 for The Hollies Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 The Hollies Care Centre is based on 27 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
