My husband's parents have been resident at Hollybank House since February 2020 (mum) and July 2020, (dad.)
The care they both receive is beyond exemplary and we rest assured in the knowledge that they are both cared for to the highest standards.
Given the difficulties that they have faced during
the covid19 pandemic, the staff at Hollybank have always gone above and beyond to keep our loved ones safe whilst doing everything they can to keep lines of communication with families going, setting up a Facebook page, video calling and regular news and updates.
We really can't thank the Home Manager and her excellent team at Hollybank House enough for their supreme care, compassion and skill and we would happily recommend them to anyone who requires first class care for a loved one.

Both Mum and Dad are residents at Hollybank House. I cannot fault the care they are given. There is always plenty of activity arranged to keep residents stimulated. Before Covid when we could visit there was always a warm welcoming atmosphere and always a lot of activity.

I am a great believer in trusting my 'gut feeling', and from the first telephone call to the manager to the day Mum passed at Hollybank House, it felt right for her. For a very independent lady to settle so quickly was an indication of the care, support and being treated as an individual which was characteristic
of all the staff and management.

Hollybank House seems to be a home away from home. We had a really nice welcome and introduction from all members of staff. The bedroom was prepared beautifully and was clear and well presented. It appears to be a very happy home. The meals have been given a big thumbs up and have been very enjoyable.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.923 for Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.923

  • 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 Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home is based on 10 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 10 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.
