My friend attends Holmfield Day Centre three days a week, she wishes she could attend every day! She thoroughly enjoys her time spent here and constantly talks about going on her next visit. She enjoys every aspect, from looking out the window to see if her taxi has arrived, to spending the day with
her friends chatting, with and the lovely staff who organise activities and meals etc. When she isn't at the Day Centre, it is constantly on her mind and she counts the days until she attends the next time. She feels safe and well cared for when there. I would definitely recommend Holmfield Day Centre.

I was a little dubious at first as my uncle has vascular dementia. He can at times be difficult and has delusions and hallucinations. Fears allayed. The staff are kind, experienced, knowledgeable and he has settled so well that we have increased his days. As a dementia nurse myself, I have no complaints
and look forward to a long lasting relationship.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Customer Engagement at Holmfield Day Centre

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's reassuring to know that your initial concerns were put to rest and that your uncle has settled so well at Holmfield Day Centre. It speaks volumes about the kindness, expertise and dedication of the staff. Coming from a dementia nurse, your endorsement carries great weight and it's wonderful to hear that you've found a place where your uncle is so well supported. Your trust in the team reflects the exceptional care they provide.

My husband is a lively sociable and active man who was a headteacher and gifted sportsman. Finding a daycare centre for him that catered for his needs (Alzheimer's and vascular dementia) has not been easy but Holmfield is the one that does the job! He loves going there and we travel quite a distance
to get him there! He loves all the staff because they know him and give him the attention he needs! They are always welcoming and full of fun! The centre is warm, well used and has a super atmosphere! It's a great place and I know he is well cared for!

The staff are very friendly and very professional at Holmfield. They work hard and communicate with my mum who has severe dementia. The centre provides essential respite care for my mum which benefits my dad considerably. It's is very reassuring to know my mum is being looked after and is safe.
The
only area of improvement that comes to mind is that I'd like to know what my mam eats and drinks during the day and I'd like to know what activities she does.

My dad started going to Holmfield twice a week in October last year and now goes every day. He loves it and calls it 'his group'. He thoroughly enjoys taking part in all the activities, especially the singing! Duty of care and trust are high priorities and I am confident that my dad is in good hands.
The manager is excellent - she gives me feedback on how Dad is getting on which I find very reassuring as living far away I'm not able to visit so often. Holmfield is a blessing at a challenging point in our lives - our heartfelt thanks go out to the manager and her team for providing a safe and caring environment.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Customer Engagement at Holmfield Day Centre

Thank you so much for sharing your father's experience at Holmfield. It's heartwarming to hear how much he enjoys "his group," especially the singing, and that he feels at home with us. We're glad that the manager's updates provide you with reassurance, especially given the distance. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we're grateful to be a source of support and care for your family during this time.

During the last few weeks after my wife came out of Covid it's been quite challenging for me as my wife took a turn for the worse and started the next stage of her dementia journey by refusing to open her mouth for solid food intake
However, two carers in particular have given me so much help and positive
advice to take in and my wife now seems to be improving again.
I can't thank these 2 members of staff enough for all the help they have given my wife and the advice they have given to me.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Marketing at Holmfield Day Centre

Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us. We're sorry to hear about the challenges your wife has been facing, but we're glad to know that our carers have been able to provide you both with support and guidance during this difficult time. It's heartening to hear that your wife is showing signs of improvement again. We truly appreciate your kind words and are grateful for the opportunity to care for your wife.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum is now living alone and really enjoys being a daycare user at Holmfield in Leicester. This centre is extremely well set up and above all the staff are kind and really enjoy their job. In fact, when I have visited I would go as far as to say this is not a job for them. Dementia can strike anyone
- and to be honest, can be a little frightening to those who watch the changes in their loved ones. This is where a specialised dementia care centre like Holmfield really serves two roles. My mum loves attending, making new friends, eating and all the activities. For me, as the only son, I know she is in a good place there and I am relieved. Too many of our elderly are left alone in their homes. God bless Holmfield staff and all users! Please don't close down.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Marketing at Holmfield Day Centre

Thank you so much for such a thorough and kind review. We are delighted to hear that your mum enjoys her time with us and are especially happy to know that it also allows you to have some much-needed rest and peace of mind. It is a pleasure to have her in our Midlands Care family!

Well, what can I say! Holmfield Day Care Centre is absolutely amazing! Mum goes once a week, sometimes twice a week and every time we pick her up she has really enjoyed herself and is very chatty! Mum has Alzheimer's and Holmfield is geared up to take care of her needs. The staff are fully trained and
we never have any concerns about leaving Mum there. When I drop her off in the morning, she's quite happy to go in, especially when she gets told there's a cup of tea waiting for her! She is entertained all day with different activities and enjoys her meals there. I have recommended Holmfield to others and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Holmfield Day Centre has recently been refurbished and is my nan's home from home. My nan has dementia and attends Holmfield Day Centre daily, there are lots of activities, and lovely meals, and the staff are amazing they could not do enough. I'm updated daily when I collect my nan. Nan's dementia has
progressed however since attending the day centre she is more talkative due to having social stimulation, I cannot thank the day centre enough for the care and activities they provide.

My wife has dementia and is at Holmfield Day Centre two days a week. She is looked after really well and cared for by every member of staff that works there. Also, it gives me the breaks I need and also if I ever need to talk over my problems relating to my wife, the staff are always there for me as
