Barchester Healthcare Hollyfields Care Home

My Dad was a resident at Hollyfields for 5 years. The staff cared for him beautifully and truly loved him. They treated Dad with compassion and respect and made his dementia more bearable for us all. The time he spent in Hollyfields allowed us to be his family, not his carers. We made his room personal to him and spent many rainy days watching his favourite films and TV programmes. The activities coordinators encouraged Dad to take part in exercise sessions, craft sessions, days out and music and entertainment ( Dad’s personal favourite). When Dad died in March, the staff at Hollyfields made his last days truly special. We were given a room with a bed, snacks and drinks and this allowed our elderly Mom to be with him and rest when needed. They ensured that he was well cared for right up until the end of his life. Many of the staff attended his funeral and it’s safe to say we will always think of them as being part of our family. Thank you for your kindness x x

I came to Hollyfields in December it is the best home I have been in. Staff are amazing. Food is great. I am so happy to be living at Hollyfields

I am lucky enough to deliver exercise therapy sessions for residents at Hollyfields. The staff are incredibly friendly and the residents are always happy and in good spirits. Love coming here!

My friend Mr S Smith is a medical waste collector and has been collecting from here for over 12 years. He has informed me that the staff are very friendly, helpful, polite and courteous. When he collects the waste from the medical rooms the care home is always clean and very well kept. The staff seem to treat the residents like their own family.

I went to Hollyfields to entertain the residents with my Punch & Judy show and my ukulele. Kimberley, who had booked me and all of the staff were very polite and helpful. The residents all seemed very happy and well cared for. A lovely afternoon and hopefully I will be invited back there in the future.
