My mum has been in Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home for nearly 2 years and has settled in really well. The staff are absolutely brilliant with her and mum has got a few favorites. Her room is always lovely and clean. Mum is dressed and looked after everyday. The food is amazing! Always a hot lunch. We can drop in to see mum whenever we like, we are always made to feel so welcome. Well done Hollybank!

I have been very impressed with Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home, the staff are all very friendly and the place is very well kept. I haven't been coming for very long but there always seems to be something going on to keep residents occupied.

Hollybank House truly stands out as a definition of a 'Home'. My mother's transition into full-time nursing care was a nervous and emotional time for all family members. The entire team at Hollybank operated seamlessly and with sensitivity to ensure my mother was at ease and fully cared for the second she entered the premises. The same efficiency, care and sensitivity were applied to our entire family and continue daily. The standards of care, from nursing and medical needs to nutrition and personal care and stimulation and attentiveness is exceptional. We visited many care homes when planning the transition and none reached these standards. The house really is a home and residents and their relatives all feel like part of one large extended family and support network. We are fully at ease that Mum is receiving the best care possible - safe, comfortable and happy. I cannot recommend this home enough.

My mum has been with HollyBank House now for a few weeks and I can’t thank the staff enough for everything they do. We always feel welcome and I know they are caring for Mum in the best possible way. I don’t know what we would have done if we hadn’t been able to place Mum so quickly after her hospital illness left her needing residential/nursing care. Thank you for making a difficult time so much easier to manage for all of us.

The team at Hollybank House have made such a difference to my mum, she is more mobile, stronger, sleeping well and is looking healthier than she has for some time. The staff are perfect and very patient with her and make her feel confident and at home with them. We are all delighted that Mum is receiving such excellent care and support and couldn’t be more grateful to the whole team there.

The home cared for our grandma during her last few weeks with care and dignity. The staff care for their patients, this was evident both with our grandma and other patients within the home. To know that she was not alone at time of her death is reassuring no and that she was cared for until the end.

Our loved one lived in Hollybank house for over seven years, the staff are exceptionally caring and nothing has ever been too much trouble. I would highly recommend Hollybank House, the standard of care and management goes above and beyond. They do regular activities and often have entertainers in to perform, the residents enjoy this so much when they join in reminiscing with songs they recognise from younger days. It is all round a lovely family atmosphere whenever visiting the home. I personally cannot thank all enough from management, carers to kitchen staff for the wonderful care they gave our loved one.

Mum moved into care during Covid-19 in 2020 but she has settled and is well cared for. The staff are friendly, communicative, approachable and go the extra mile to involve the residents in the daily life of the home. It has a comfortable family feel but remains professional and delivers good quality care.

Excellent care and support for my 90-year-old grandmother. After a traumatic six months of my grandma being in and out of hospital and respite after a nasty accident, arrangements were made for her to live in Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home full time from March 2021. The care and attention she has received has been excellent. There are regular activities during the day to keep residents occupied whereby a regular activities coordinator is employed. Staff are constantly 'on the go' but always have time for residents. Food is also nutritious and tasty. Having recently been able to go inside the home after everything with Covid, I can say it is exceptionally clean and smells lovely. The manager and her staff are an absolute credit to the place.

My mother unfortunately had to go into care in December 2020. Hollybank House management and staff have have extremely caring and supportive during a very difficult time for my mother and myself. The care and attention she receives is first rate. Having now had the opportunity to go into the home and view for myself, I am very pleased to see how clean it is with good facilities and very supportive management and staff who treat my mother with dignity and respect. The rooms are very nice especially with pictures and treasured items from home. I reviewed many care homes before deciding on Hollybank House and it has fully lived up to my expectations in looking after my mother in a very safe and secure environment and I highly recommend it.

The home is bright and clean. The staff are caring, polite and informed of residents current care needs. They take time to talk to the resident, and there are activities arranged in which the resident can participate in.

Our father moved into Hollybank House last September. It was a very distressing time for us and Dad which was eased by the compassionate and efficient organisation of the move by the manager and all of the staff we met. We have been delighted with the level of care he has received. Dad's complex care needs have been met with patience and care. Although we have not been able to go inside the home, we have been able to visit Dad in the warm and comfortable conservatory, when possible. Facebook videos help us to stay in touch. A big thank you to all the staff at Hollybank House.

We had to choose a home for dad without being able to visit due to Covid-19. We could only rely on our telephone conversations. We are very pleased that our initial impressions have been confirmed in that all the staff we have had dealings with seem to care very much for their residents. Our limited visits since have been arranged with care and consideration and nothing seems to be a problem. Dad has complicated care needs and after a traumatic period in hospital, we just wanted somewhere safe and secure with carers who would understand. The staff at Hollybank certainly deliver on this front. We are looking forward to when we can visit freely but fully appreciate the controls the home has in place at present and are grateful for the care given to dad.
