About Holmwood Care Home

Holmwood Care Home is a residential care home in Salisbury, Wiltshire, offering a settled and comfortable place to live for older people who can no longer manage at home on their own. We provide residential care, support for people living with dementia, care for those managing a mental health condition, support for people with a physical disability, and help for residents living with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays, which can give a family carer a genuine break or allow someone to recover after a spell in hospital. Life here is built around the people who live with us rather than around a timetable. Residents choose when to rise, where to spend their day, what they eat and how much company they want. Some enjoy a busy sitting room, others prefer a quiet corner with the paper. Both are entirely fine. Families are welcome throughout the day and we would far rather people dropped in than waited for permission. Our care staff know each resident properly, which is what allows us to notice when something is not quite right. We keep in close contact with local GPs, district nurses and other health professionals so that support is joined up. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. We are glad of that, and we carry on looking for the small improvements that make daily life better. Do get in touch if you would like to visit and see the home for yourself.
