My friend lived in Longfield and then Hollymount for a very long time and was treated with respect, kindness and most of all with dignity. Staff go above and beyond. Food is excellent, lots of ice pops and ice cream in this weather.
The activities are great for my friend.

I find the care provided for my mother is of a high standard in line with her needs. As the staff have been here for a long time, they understand what care is needed and it is provided in a kind and empathetic way and with dignity and love.
The atmosphere is very homely, care is well organised and
the senior staff are very approachable if any issues arise in my mother's care.
I feel very welcome when I visit.
There are plenty of activities.

Lovely atmosphere, a very happy place with staff caring and very helpful. All staff always happy to help. My friend always looks smart, clean and joyful. Dementia is difficult for the loved ones, however, this home ensures that not just the residents are happy, but also the family and friends. Thank
you for taking the time to make me very welcome.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was only in Hollymount for months rather than years but during that time, the managers and the staff all took great care of her.


The care she received was warm and personal. As her needs became greater, both with physical ailments and with dementia, Hollymount made sure that she was looked

after. Their communication with family and friends was also excellent, and visits (even at short or no notice) were always accommodated well.


In summary, the care and commitment to the residents was particularly evident in the way that they helped my mother as her condition changed - it was both professional and caring in a personal sense.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Since my mother moved to this home, we have all been treated with courtesy by professional, caring staff at all levels. From management to care assistant level. Even though my mother is unable to participate in most activities, she is always considered for light therapy, music and CD and is read to.
She is also included with holy communion and regularly seen by visiting chaplaincy staff and other services as appropriate. We are always advised of changes in her condition or interventions by the medical team and generally supported as part of mum's excellent care and seamfree transition from her previous home. I can't thank you enough.

I came in here very poorly with some trepidation but now I feel extremely well. I have put on weight due to the excellent food. The staff are wonderful. I always feel safe and secure, knowing that I can approach them if I have any concerns, always kept confidential. I would recommend this home to anyone.
In fact, my daughter says I have more of a social life than she has.

My very elderly father (103) lived at Holly Mount for the last two and a bit years of his life. The care he received in that time was excellent. Staff were unfailingly friendly, cheerful and helpful. We were always made to feel welcome when, on a regular basis, we visited him. He was always treated
with respect and dignity - a person who happened to be old and in need of care, rather than just another old person. This was especially important in his last weeks when the level of care he received, from people who really did care, could not have been better.

My dad has been at Hollymount for over 2 years. He needs full-time care which he gets with a smile no matter what time of day. The staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. Patience, time and understanding is by all staff with dignity and respect in abundance. Thanks to how well he's cared for,
his life has gone on longer than we ever expected. We are so grateful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for Hollymount Residential & Dementia 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.755 for Hollymount Residential & Dementia Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.755

  • 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 Hollymount Residential & Dementia Care Centre is based on 13 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 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.

Carolyn Skelly

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2020

My name is Carolyn and I am registered manager at Hollymount.
I have worked in the care industry for over 20 years and been in a managerial position for over 6 years. I have worked with a range of clients, from young adults with learning difficulties and elderly clients in residential/dementia homes. I have a lot of qualifications and completed my level 5 in leadership and management, and achieved my qualification in dementia care mapping with Sterling University.
I thoroughly enjoy my work and get great satisfaction on a daily basis here at Hollymount. We are quite a big family here, and like to ensure that the home promotes equality and diversity. All support is tailored to the individual. I am passionate in improving staff knowledge which is essential to their roles which ensures they have the skills and knowledge to create the best for the organisation. Reflective practice is a huge part of my professional development, criticising my own practice is not always easy but taking a step back and taking another look at it can benefit me and my skills in improving my knowledge so I can become a role model for other staff. I like to feel that I am learning and changing as a result of all I do.
I have a 24 year old son who is very important to me and my family is paramount to me. Hollymount has my full dedication and I am looking forward to developing the service further and further improving the home.

I have had a very varied career which I feel enables me to bring a lot to the role.


I just love my role here at Hollymount and I find it very rewarding. It’s a vital part of the home and essential to the well-being of all our residents. The residents are full of character and have amazing stories to tell, I have made lots of friends and it’s great to see smiles on their faces.
