About Us
Hollymount is a residential and dementia care home in Blackburn. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays.
We judge ourselves by unglamorous measures. How long people wait for help. Whether anybody eats alone who would rather not. Whether the same faces are on shift often enough to notice a change in somebody.
Supporting somebody with dementia means keeping things steady and familiar, and knowing their history well enough to follow where their mind has gone.
The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us requires improvement. We would rather say that here than have somebody find it and wonder what else we omitted. We accept the findings and are working on them.
Where somebody has a faith, we make it practical rather than nominal: time, quiet, and help getting to whatever matters to them.
We try to keep people connected to the life they had. Post opened when they want it, phone calls made, and trips out arranged where they are wanted.
Anybody considering us should come without an appointment, talk to residents and relatives away from staff, and press us for specifics about what has changed and what has not yet.
