Holmesview has 60 beautiful, single bedrooms all with a TV (including Sky), telephone and internet access and en-suite shower room.

The home is designed for small group living and each of the 10 bedroom suite has it’s own lounge and dining room. The garden is a popular place to sit with a cup of tea, or for activities, weather permitting.

Events and activities are hugely enjoyed at Holmesview and a dedicated team, full calendar, and the availability of their own minibus ensures that the level of participation is high.
Holmesview’s excellent Chef and kitchen team offer nutritionally-balanced, freshly prepared meals. The menu changes on a four-weekly cycle and they try to accommodate different tastes and diets as far as possible.

Round-the-clock registered nursing care means that older people with differing medical conditions can stay at Holmesview. A GP attends weekly for the in-house surgery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

A superb and relatively newly built care home that has 60 ensuite rooms split into individual units of 10, each with its own dining room and lounge creating small close-knit communities for the residents. There is a communal sun room where residents can meet and for activities. My family found this
care home almost by chance and with my wife blocking a hospital bed she moved in one week from our first seeing it. She settled very quickly due to the wonderful atmosphere and excellent care provided and has made use of the many activities including outings in the minibus and her favourite, regular visits to the local pub where she and other residents are welcomed by the locals. All staff without fail are welcoming and smiling and the home is maintained to an exceptionally clean and fresh environment. The costs are not cheap but I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I am happy to recommend it.

This care home is extremely clean, tidy and well maintained. Most of the staff are very friendly and always interact with the residents. After some meetings and discussions, we seem to have my mother on a more varied diet plan that meets her dietary requirements. There is a group of activity staff who
are also very friendly with the residents. I would like to see more information given to the residents' family members on how often their loved ones go to these activities or outings so that I could interact with my mother about her day. I would also like to see more staff so that the residents can be more closely monitored. I am overall happy with my mum's care and would recommend the home to others in the same situation as ourselves.

Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Holmesview

Thank you very much for your feedback that we will be pleased to share with the staff. It is good to know that your mother’s dietary requirements are being catered for. Providing the required number of staff is also very important to us in order to reach the high levels of care and this is certainly one of the priorities for our management team. They will be happy to discuss this with you along with the communication of the activities plans.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Holmesview 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.957 for Holmesview is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 Holmesview is based on 14 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.
