About Us

We are Hollybank Rest Home in Southampton. We are a residential care home for older people, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we also welcome people for respite stays.

We are not a large place and we do not want to be. A smaller home means staff who know everybody properly, meals cooked for people whose tastes are actually known, and a quieter atmosphere in which somebody who is confused or unwell is not overwhelmed. People here get up when they wake, spend the day as they choose, and are helped rather than managed.

Dementia care is a good deal of what we do, and our approach rests on familiarity and patience. Calm surroundings, consistent staff and knowing enough about a person's history to make sense of what they are trying to tell us make far more difference than any activity timetable.

Families are welcome throughout the day and we would rather they treated the home as an extension of their own. We ask for views regularly, from residents and relatives, and we would always prefer to hear a concern early.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep checking our own practice against it.

If you are looking at care in Southampton for yourself or a relative, please come and see us. Visit unannounced if you would rather see the home as it usually is.
