My dad has been in Holly Tree Lodge for two months now. He was quite ill when he first arrived at Holly Tree Lodge. The care and attention from staff has been second to none. There are plenty of stimulating activities arranged for example chair exercises every Monday, and singers coming in to entertain
residents. Food is always lovely and rightly rated 5 stars. I cannot fault any of the staff from the manager to the cares to domestic and catering staff. They made this a lovely care home for our loved ones.

I am very impressed with Hollytree Lodge - all the staff are caring and supportive despite the very challenging residents. I really appreciate the flexibility of the staff. They definitely put the residents first as much as they can. The home is obviously well organised and managed with good integrated
support from external services. Having experienced other care homes I can definitely say that I believe is very good, and better than anywhere else I have seen despite the very high needs of the residents.

We moved my father-in-law here after a very bad experience in a previous home and the care he received from day 1 was exceptional, every single person there had nothing but time and respect all the residents and their families. We felt happy knowing he was so well looked after and every one of his needs
were met to a very high standard, we honestly cannot thank the management and all the other amazing staff enough.

My wife has been a resident for approximately 18 months and she was very agitated at first, but she is now really happy although she still doesn’t recognise me, she always shouts for a staff member and me, well that’s what the carers tell us, but I’m in a care home now myself. I’ve just been looking
at rooms available, and there are 3, l may talk to them about it, l have complex needs, and l need hoisting out and into bed, l don’t think it’s going to change so will have to talk to them about it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.871 for Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 435 Ratings = 4.871

  • 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 Holly Tree Lodge EMI Nursing Home is based on 37 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 37 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.
