Mum's been in Holmwood for 10 months, and has settled in really well. Staff are really friendly to mum and to the family, and mums more confident in asking for help. She has made some good friends whilst she's been here. Staff members are really approachable and helpful to son and daughter.

My family and I love mum being in Holmwood. The staff care like they are looking after their own family. Mum is always clean and well fed. Staff go over and above. Always listen to the needs of the family as well as the cared for/residents.

The needs and requirements of my parents are very well catered for. Staff are friendly, and helpful and listen to any concerns or worries that we have. It gives us comfort knowing that even the smallest of concerns regarding their emotional and physical well-being are acted on. When we visit them, it
is great to have the space and room for us all to be together as a family.

Mum transferred to Holmwood following a 4 month stay in hospital. Having no experience of what a care home was like, I have been overwhelmed with the excellent care mum receives here. The staff, management, nurses, carers, domestics, cooks, are all so friendly, caring and supportive. Mum has settled
in so well and it is such a wonderful caring environment. I can rest well, safe in knowledge mum is receiving the best care possible, and so rightly deserves.

My mum moved in nearly 2 years ago. The experience has been only positive. My mum is very vulnerable, immobile, incontinent, very little vocalisation or understanding of what is going on. Despite all of this is treated with respect and dignity. She is warm, fed appropriately to her needs and always
appears comfortable and pain free. Staff are to a person-welcoming, happy to answer questions and involve me appropriately in aspects of care when needed. I would certainly recommend this home to anyone considering it for their relative.

Since my mum has been at Holmwood, her infections have gone, her mobility increased, she's been able to get out and start to love life again. She has started walking again and her overall mood has improved and she's started to laugh again.

I visited a friend from church. Each time I have found the staff very welcoming.
The resident is happy and contented, the room is clean and there is a lovely atmosphere in the building.
Her special diet requirements are dealt with and choices are given. I would certainly suggest this home to others.

We cannot praise this care home enough. Mum has been here 17 months with dementia, the care all the staff gives is lovely. Recently she celebrated her birthday, the staff decorated her room which made it extra special, leaving her knowing she's been looked after makes us less worried such a warm friendly
care home.

All the staff are led by a fantastic manager, she is well organised and easy to deal with. The head nurse is very helpful too. My wife

Holmwood Care Home have been an amazing care home for my mother who recently died. They have been so kind to her and me. Her physical needs were always met to a high standard, the food was of good quality and there were many activities which she always enjoyed and which made her final year as enjoyable
as it could be. When she was dying they gave fantastic care and support to my mother and to me.
I cannot praise them highly enough.

I would like to thank all of the staff, every one of them that work here for the kindness and care my mother has had and that they showed to all my family who were visiting. We couldn't have asked to have a better place for my mum to have ended her life.
All staff are angels, the home itself is clean
and lovely.
I was to say thank you again.

It's hard to express in words in words the kind, caring, loving (even though we weren't long term residents) treatment and care shown by all staff members to my mum and all our family, it's been the worst of times made manageable and will always owe Holmwood Care Home management and staff a debt of
gratitude. Great building, great rooms and facilities. Thanks to all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Holmwood Care Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.756 for Holmwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.756

  • 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 Holmwood Care Home is based on 15 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 15 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.
