I find all the staff friendly and approachable I call mostly on mornings and find her comfortable and the room perfectly clean and warm. Because of mams condition, she can only be fed liquid type food. Again because of her condition she cannot take part in group activities, I can fully recommend Hollyfield
Care Home for their care for the residents.

All staff are very accommodating, they look after my friend with such dignity. They all work very hard and enjoy their jobs. I like the welcome in reception. Lovely touch. Cake and a cuppa if needed. I love their happy faces and the fact that they appear to do the extra mile. Nothing is too much trouble.

Since my husband arrived at Hollyfields I have been extremely satisfied with the level of care and support he is being given. Staff are always helpful and courteous to me and keep me well informed. My husband has always been dressed very smart. Unfortunately he had a fall two weeks and after an operation
he is being nursed in bed. Staff are very vigilant regards pressure areas etc. Before this happened he was enjoying social interaction and also trips into the garden. He has a lovely spacious room kept clean and tidy.

The staff at the home are very friendly and welcoming. They know all our family and are very kind and caring towards my Mum. The job of the carers is very difficult at times but they are always professional and treat the residents with the maximum respect and maintain their dignity. There are plenty
of activities organised for the residents and the decorations around the home change to fit the seasons.

My mother has been at Hollyfields Care Home for nearly 7 years and I have visited weekly at various times and on different days during that time. I have always been very satisfied with the care that she receives. The staff are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful, both the admin staff and the carers.
There is always someone to ask if we have a query about Mum's care and we feel very much included in the decisions taken relating to her care or the running of the home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for Barchester Hollyfields Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 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 4.665 for Barchester Hollyfields Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 337 Ratings = 4.665

  • 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 Barchester Hollyfields Care Home 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, 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.

Alison

Alison Moseley-Shaw

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2022

My journey in Healthcare began in 2004 when I graduated with a BSC (Hons) qualification. I started my career on an NHS ward, where I gained invaluable experience and honed my skills in patient care. Over time, I transitioned my skills into medical education, expanding my knowledge and expertise.


In 2016, I decided to explore new opportunities in private healthcare and accepted a role as Deputy Ward Manager. This experience allowed me to further develop my leadership abilities while continuing to prioritise the well-being of patients.


In 2022, I made the transition into a nursing home, taking on the role of Deputy Manager. Here, my passion for the well-being of both residents and staff truly flourished. It was a privilege to contribute to creating a supportive and nurturing environment for all.


In 2023, I was honoured to be promoted to General Manager, a role that allows me to lead with compassion and dedication. My commitment to the well-being of residents and staff remains at the forefront of everything I do, driving me to continually strive for excellence in care provision.


Outside of work, I'm a proud mum to four wonderful grown-up children and step-mum to two younger children. Family means everything to me and I cherish the time we spend together. Being a Nanna to two wonderful grandsons brings me immense joy, and I treasure every moment with them.


In my free time, I love nothing more than going on holidays with my husband. Whether it's exploring new destinations or returning to our favourite spots, I find immense happiness in discovering new cultures, cuisines and experiences. Travelling allows me to unwind, recharge, and create lifelong memories.
