My Dad came to this care home after being in a couple of others before here, We wanted a homely vibe for our dad and this is exactly what we got. The staff are amazing here and as stubborn as my dad was they cared for him like he was their own. The last couple of weeks have been hard on our family as it was his end of life and I can honestly say we as a family made a bond with these lovely people. They looked after us while we stayed to the end of my dad life and the support from this home is above and beyond. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts there is no agency staff so everyone knows each and every one of the residents so if friendly caring and homely is what you're after ring Holmlea .

They communicate well regarding any issues. I like the relaxed atmosphere in Homelea and the attention given to residents when they need it. The day rooms are bright and well furnished with TV programmes to watch should they want to. Communications are good and the staff are very helpful and kind. I know they have activities but have been there for only one - Hogmond - most enjoyable those who joined in.

Holmlea Care Home welcomed my Mam last year, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care she receives. We struggled to manage her needs at home, but the staff at Holmlea have been exceptional in handling her challenging behaviors with professionalism and compassion. The team at Holmlea has created a safe and comfortable environment for my Mam, which brings me immense peace of mind. Seeing her happy and well-cared-for is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the staff. I highly recommend Holmlea Care Home to anyone seeking quality care for their loved ones.

My auntie has been a resident at Holmlea for over two years. Whenever I visit with my family, we always have a warm welcome from the wonderful team of carers. I live over 100 miles away and so can't visit every week. I take comfort in the knowledge of the consistent high standard of care that I witness when I am able to visit. Thank you Holmlea.

I have just spent the most wonderful morning at Holmlea Care Home. Today there was a sing-along it was a real party atmosphere! It was made all the more special by the fantastic staff who joined in, singing and dancing with the residents. It was lovely to see all of them enjoying themselves. Thank you Holmlea, you are amazing.

My aunt has been a resident at the home for around eight weeks The staff cares about the welfare of the residents. My aunt, as a fiercely independent lady who has lived on her own for over forty years has been, at times, both grumpy and difficult. At all times staff has treated her with patience, good humour, politeness, and professionalism. Everyone is also very welcoming to visitors making them feel part of the family member's new life. Massive thank you to all.

My husband moved into Holmlea Care Home on 04/09/23. He was well-supported in adjusting to leaving home. Some weeks later the need for hospital emergency admission. The team at Holmlea were very caring and supportive of my husband and I and our daughters. While we waited for the ambulance we were made comfortable and offered drinks. It was my birthday (83) I'd brought a cake to share. The staff couldn't have done enough to help us.

My mum has received the best care possible from everyone at Holmlea, they are like family to us now. Thank you for treating my mum with such care and dignity. If my mum was able, she would thank you from the bottom of her heart.

My Aunt was in Holmlea Care Home from Aril 2018 to April 2023 and received care of the highest standard. All staff were compassionate, patient and excellent at dealing with my Aunt under all circumstances. As her dementia progressed, the high standard of care and attention, both personal and medical, never faltered and all her needs were gently and sensitively catered for. She was happy and content. We were always kept informed of her status and the management were very approachable and easy to deal with. Myself and husband could not have wished for better and would thoroughly recommend Holmlea without hesitation to any prospective resident.

My brother became a resident at Holmlea Care Home in the summer of 2021. Since his arrival, he has been treated with dignity and respect by both care staff and the management. He suffers from vascular dementia and as his condition deteriorates every effort is made to help him feel safe and secure in his environment. As a frequent visitor, I find it reassuring to note the positive relationships which have been fostered between my brother and his carers. There is close liaison between management and a local General Practice and this has resulted in my brother's physical and mental health being closely monitored - an important aspect of his care. He is encouraged to take part in organised activities but allowed to withdraw if he wishes. To quote my brother - they look after me well here.

One of the things that really impressed me was that during the recent very cold weather was that the owner personally spoke to all the residents to see if they were warm enough, and if not, he went out and got them a heater - not many owners would do that. This home is really family-orientated. The staff are very helpful and caring.

Holmlea, the name says how it is. My mum lived here just short of 3yrs, the day she moved until the day she sadly passed away (Oct 2020) she was made very comfortable and was very happy at Holmlea. That was down to every member of staff from domestic to manager, they are all bright and bubbly, and at a sad time, as it is 'Covid-19' I was unable to take Mum out for our Saturday morning visit to the park. The staff made up for this with Mum in the home. So a big thank you Holmlea! The directors should be very proud of their wonderful staff there.

Decor and building slightly outdated. Staff very friendly and efficient. Quality of food is excellent. Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with promptly.

All staff, from managers, carers and cleaners, give their very best help and understanding of needs, stimulate and encourage interaction. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and I am informed of any changes in medication and behaviour and advised on my visits how to respond to my husband's needs. The home itself is clean and his room is very nice, towels changed daily, washing done daily. Cleanliness is very good and mishaps are immediately dealt with. A very comfortable and happy surrounding. He's well settled and happy.

My mother has been in Holmlea for four years and had no problems at all. Staff are great and home very friendly. As it is a small home compared to most of them it is more personal and family-friendly.

I cannot recommend Holmlea Care Home enough. My friend who is 98 went into this home in June. She is very happy there. The staff and the place are wonderful. She is always clean, well-fed and dressed. I think this is the best care home in the area (in my opinion).

My mother, aged 92, has been in Holmlea for 3 months, and throughout this time I have visited almost every day and been totally satisfied with her care. There is in place a structured care plan and managers are constantly in touch with health care professionals and update and involve me in any changes. All the staff are friendly, welcoming, supportive and professional and treat the residents with respect and welcome visitors. The environment is warm and comfortable and the food, personal care and cleanliness are exceptional.

I have been putting this off for a while because quite frankly I could not find the words to fully convey the excellence of Holmlea. My Father-in-Law was a resident from 2013 to 2019 and was always treated with respect and dignity. From the day he walked in, he never looked back, he was so happy. For the last six months his health deteriorated to the extent he was put on end of life care. The staff were remarkable, going far beyond what was expected and we will be eternally grateful to them. We consider them good friends now and will continue to keep in touch. What you have to understand about Holmlea is, the residents feel at home, it's comfortable, warm and cosy, my wife likens it to a high-quality B&B. There are activities every day, you could never get bored here, Easter, Christmas, Halloween etc are all celebrated with staff dressing up, garden parties in the summer, but if you just want a quiet place to sit that is not a problem either. Oh yes! and the Home cooked food is delicious.
