The most friendly approachable, professional people with a family feel to the place. This made Dads time have cherished and I was always most welcome when visiting. The staff are very diligent and the "top of their game" in my opinion.
Keep up the great work you really made a difference for us.

My mam had a recent temporary stay at Hollie Hill. She was well looked after and the family felt she was in a safe and secure environment. The home maintained high standards in all areas. There was plenty of activities planned and residents were encouraged to take part. The staff were all very nice
and always happy to help. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for care for an elderly relative.

My Mum always received the highest standard of care during her time at Hollie Hill Care Home I cannot commend all the staff highly enough. She was looked after with affection and felt safe and contented. She enjoyed taking part in the activities organised and they certainly helped and stimulated her
during the lockdowns. Visits were well organised, it felt like nothing was too much trouble to facilitate them. As a family we received a lot of help and kindness from everyone at Hollie Hill .

My grandma is a resident here and the care that she receives is outstanding.
I take my hat off to all the lovely ladies (and one staff member who she always talks about) that care for her! She is so content and happy and you can see by the photos uploaded and her face when you see her how happy she
is. I know how comfortable she is which gives us as a family peace of mind.
Everyone is so welcoming and caring and I wouldn’t want my grandma anywhere else!
She always has a story to tell us about one of the carers and tells us how they made her laugh and everyone is “lovely”.


Thank you to every single one of you from the bottom of our hearts.
Your care, even through the most difficult times, has been second to none and we as a family are extremely grateful.

I have had three visits since the reopening of care homes, each visit has been very well organised, the staff have been very helpful, plenty of sanitising stations available for use, plenty of PPE available. Mam is well cared for, obviously, the food is fantastic as she has put weight on. (Previously
I would find food all over the house so this is good to see).
Thank you to all the staff who have kept my mam safe during the pandemic. Can't wait until she can come out and we can walk around the street. Roll on the next stage.
Thank you for it's a definite 10 from me.

My mam has been in Hollie Hill for 5 years and she has always received very good care. The staff always make time to keep you updated with any changes needed to keep my mam safe and comfortable. I will never be able to thank all the staff enough for all that they do, especially during this difficult
year.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Hollie Hill. They have been caring for my grandma through this pandemic and the staff have kept her entertained throughout. They are great at keeping us informed of how she is doing and arranging video calls to see her face. Thank You.
Hollie Hill is fantastic and I highly recommend it. I’ve never seen Grandma so happy and interactive in games and activities. We can’t wait to come to visit when we’re finally allowed to.

Security is very good. The home entrance greets you with a signing in book and warm/pleasant surroundings. The home is extremely clean and tidy. The manager has an open door to anyone wishing to speak to her relating to the home. Manager and staff are very good with the residents, and will often go
above and beyond their duties to ensure the residents are happy.

I called in to speak with the home manager without making an appointment as my mam was in the hospital; end of life, and I really need her close to me. The home is just around the corner from where I live, and any problems, I could get there straight away. The overall standard of care was excellent
care and support to mam and her family. Soon after mam was admitted, on Mothers Day, the home sadly was on lockdown and the only end of life care had visitors. The home was cleaned to the highest standards, well done. Food always on offer, though mam was eating very much. Sadly on the 16.4.20 mam passed away peacefully.
Just want to say thank you to all the team, everyone works very hard.

When my grandma was first taken into a care home setting, I was really worried about how she was going to cope as she’s always been able to do things in her own home and for herself up in till her stroke. Going into Holly Hill has really changed my mind on her being there; the staff are all so lovely,
so caring and my grandma loves them all. This year has been extra hard with care homes closing and not been able to see loved ones, but they have gone out their way to let all my family do Facetime with her even when we don’t live together, meaning more than one call. I also cannot thank them enough for how they have helped my grandma over this last few weeks when losing my mam (her daughter) and keeping my grandma going and been able to get her to the funeral. I’ll be forever grateful to them for bringing her. Yous are all amazing.

Hollie Hill is comfortable, clean and well-run. I am told by my mum that the food is good and she always clears her plate. The garden is large and well-kept and has a very happy feel to it.
The rooms can be decorated and furnished by the resident’s family if desired and can accommodate a single bed,
double wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside table and two chairs without feeling cramped. The ensuite washroom is basic but has plenty of space for a cabinet, shelf and all the necessities to be clean and comfortable.
There are bright and cosy residents’ lounges and plenty of activities for residents to take part in if they want to.
For me, though, the outstanding feature of Hollie Hill is the staff. They are always there with a friendly smile and a kind word, even when they are obviously busy. I know from mam’s comments and from meeting the staff on visits that they really do care about the people they look after and are also quietly (ish) professional. Real stars!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.456)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.456) out of 10 for Hollie Hill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 16 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 4.456 for Hollie Hill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 182 Ratings = 4.456

  • 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 Hollie Hill 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, 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.
