CQC: GoodReport published 18 December 2020 · Last inspected 26 November 2020
Inspectors found The Hollies to be a relaxed, sociable home where people appeared content and had warm relationships with staff, and relatives spoke positively about the care and the management. Staff were described as well trained and supported, there were enough of them on duty, and people were helped to eat, drink and make choices in ways that suited them. The report recognised improvements since the last inspection, though some risk assessments were not always fully documented.
