“Holly Lodge is an excellent dementia care home. The staff are brilliant – caring, friendly, and attentive. The activities and entertainment is engaging – you can see the resident’s enjoyment.

Our activities team organises a variety of fun and engaging group and one-to-one activities and experiences for our residents living with dementia. Activities are multi-sensory, designed to alleviate dementia symptoms; helping to improve concentration and communication, encouraging reminiscence and social interaction.
Our activities at our Surrey care home are planned around each person living with dementia in accordance with their care needs, daily wishes and cultural interests. There are gentle activities for residents who are less mobile and able. We involve families in care and activity planning, using life story work to shape the way we engage with our residents in an interesting and meaningful way. A personal understanding of what really matters to each resident, the things they enjoy, their life histories and their achievements, helps to create a reassuring and stimulating environment.
Listen to what Margaret has to say about her experience with Holly Lodge: “One thing that has always been here is the kindness of all the carers, the kindness of all the staff, it’s like it’s an honor to them to look after that person…I feel like I’m coming from my home to my home.”
To provide the exemplary care our residents deserve, we have nurses onsite 24/7 and intentionally hire more staff than the industry average providing a relaxed environment for our residents where staff can deliver person-centred care.
Our talented Catering Team prides themselves on offering freshly prepared meals every day using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. We continually look at new and exciting ways to encourage nutrition and hydration. Specific allergy and dietary requests are always catered for.
We think it’s important that you hear from our residents, their families and our great staff. Visit our reviews page to listen to their stories and read the wonderful testimonials on the UK’s leading care home comparison site: www.carehome.co.uk
Choosing a care home can be a difficult and emotional process. It is important to understand the impact of a dementia diagnosis on residents and provide appropriate support. Holly Lodge makes it a little easier by providing the level of care and homely environment that our residents would wish for. Our open-door policy means visitors, guests and pets are always welcome, any time of day.
