About Holmwood Care Centre
Here at Holmwood Care Centre in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, we are a nursing home that genuinely cares about the people who come to live with us or spend time with us for short stays. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. We support a wide range of needs under one roof. Our team works with older people, those living with dementia, individuals with physical disabilities, and younger adults who require nursing level care. We also offer respite care for those who need a temporary stay, whether that is to recover after a period in hospital or to give family carers a well earned break. Our nursing care sits at the heart of what we do. Having qualified nurses on hand means that residents with complex or changing health needs are looked after properly, with the right clinical oversight day and night. Alongside that, our approach to dementia care is thoughtful and person centred. We take time to understand each resident as an individual, learning about their history, their preferences, and what brings them comfort and familiarity. We are based in Kidderminster, which means we are well placed for families across Worcestershire to visit regularly, and we encourage that. Staying connected to the people you love matters enormously for wellbeing, and we always make visitors feel welcome. We are honest about where we are as a care setting. Our current CQC rating is listed as not rated, and we are committed to continuing to develop and improve everything we do. If you would like to find out more about life at Holmwood Care Centre or arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We are always happy to have a conversation.
