My experience as a relative of a resident has been difficult and challenging for me and my sister at times, but the staff have always been supportive, understanding and approachable to both of us. The staff have worked so hard, made good decisions about her ongoing care, persevered under severe circumstances
and have been successful beyond my expectations to obtain and give my sister dignity and a good quality of life. Also the staff have maintained a high standard of care in a friendly and trustworthy atmosphere.
I would like to thank the staff on behalf of my sister and myself for all their care and empathy.

Reply from Rebecca Nisbet, Registered Manager at Holdingham Grange Care & Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt appreciation. It's gratifying to hear how our staff's dedication and care have made such a positive difference for you and your sister.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Holdingham Grange. Mum-in-law needed more care than we could give at home and we found the right place first time. The home is light, bright and airy and when you walk into reception, it is clean and free of odours. When you have been there a while,
you realise that it is a nice place to be. The staff and residents are happy. The facilities are good. The food is excellent, as is the care. There are always things going on for the residents to do.
I fully commend Holdingham Grange to you.

My grandmother was admitted to this wonderful home and has settled very quickly. She has advanced dementia and does not like any change however all staff have taken much time and care to get to know her and her needs which has resulted in her being very happy and calmer than ever before.
She has a
beautiful room full of personal possessions and the carers, activities, domestics, managers, nurses, kitchen and maintenance team have all been exceptional in their part of her transfer. A truly caring and professional home. Thank you.

Since my dad has moved to Holdingham Grange his whole outlook has changed. He is more talkative and trying different foods because of the wide variety that is on offer. The room is twice the size of his previous home's room, and has an ensuite. The staff are very supportive and encourage him to try
new things.
All staff are very welcoming and always very pleasant. Management's door is always open and welcome any suggestions. The home is always spotless. There are always activities going on.

Putting Mum into Holdingham Grange has given us peace of mind, we know she is being taken good care of. The staff are quick to pick up when Mum has an infection and quickly sort it. She has been in Glenholme since Sept 2021 and we are happy with all of her care.

My mother was admitted to Glenholme Holdingham Grange for end-of-life care. The facilities, staff and professionalism have been superb. This is by far the best senior care facility I have encountered and I recommend it without hesitation or qualification. My mother could not have found a better residence.

Care for my best longest friend was so perfect. Staff in Sleaford were, without exception, caring, respectful and very human. They were considerate to friends and visitors. Reception, nursing staff, carers, catering staff and cleaners always met us with a smile. I can’t thank them all enough for making
the loss of a very special lady less upsetting, as we knew she was in safe and comforting hands. Thank you all.

My husband has been in Glenholme Holdingham Grange for eighteen months. He has had dementia and mobility problems as well as multiple medical issues. The staff have listened and acted upon my wishes and have always been supportive. My husband has not been easy to care for but all the staff have been
patient and understanding. Although my husband is no longer with us, I will miss the staff as they have been like family.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum is an amputee, having lost her leg to cancer in the 90s. For decades she was able to cope and live a fulfilling life. However, in the last two years, Mum has suffered from various physical ailments and also a deterioration in her mental capacity. It became so acute six months ago that the family
feared for her life. Mum moved into Glenholme Holdingham Grange direct from the hospital. She was hardly eating and was struggling to drink much, would slip in and out of lucidity and become very weak. However, within six months of enjoying the friendly and consistent care of the staff at Glenholme, along with the beautifully appointed facilities of the home, we have seen a remarkable transformation. Mum is now eating healthily and regularly. She is fully engaged emotionally with the staff and her fellow residents and is really enjoying her life again. She loves it in the home and often rings to tell us the latest humorous tale involving the staff or one of her friends.

Hi Richard,
We are all delighted Mum is now well and so settled.

My mum has been in the home for 15 months. I cannot fault anything that the home/staff have done or provided during that time. The food Mum has been provided with is nothing but restaurant quality. The staff have been exceptional. The activities provided when Mum was well enough to join in were fab.
The environment is also beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Glenholme to anyone in the future.

Upon finding this care home for mum, we were immediately impressed by the friendly staff, lovely modern facilities and service provided. So much so that we decided there and then that this was the right home. Since mum moved in, everything has perfectly matched and exceeded our original expectations.
The staff have been absolutely wonderful, friendly and helpful. Their professionalism is exceptional. The facilities are immaculate and the overall service is second to none. Mum has settled in very well and absolutely loves her room and the activities. Overall the care home is faultless. Our greatest thanks to all the staff who really make the difference.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.997)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.997) out of 10 for Holdingham Grange Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.997 for Holdingham Grange Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (380 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.997

  • 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 Holdingham Grange Care & Nursing Home is based on 32 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
