About Holly House Care Home
Holly House Care Home is in Birmingham. We provide residential care for adults, including people living with dementia and people living with mental ill health, as well as younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside longer term places. A good deal of our work sits where dementia and mental ill health overlap, which is an area other settings sometimes shy away from. People arriving here may have had difficult experiences elsewhere and may take a while to trust that this will be different. We expect that. Settling in is not a week long process for everybody, and we do not treat slow progress as a failure. Day to day we help with personal care, medication, meals and keeping in touch with family, health services and anyone else who matters to the person. We try to keep the home calm, predictable and unhurried, because that does more for most of our residents than any planned activity. When someone is distressed, we look for the reason. Having younger adults living here too means we are careful that their days do not drift into a pattern designed around much older residents. Respite stays give family carers a break and sometimes give the person a useful change of scene. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit Holly House.
