About Holmewood Manor Care Home

Holmewood Manor Care Home brings together nursing care and a sense of community in the Derbyshire countryside. Families looking for the right place for a loved one will find a team that is genuinely committed to getting to know each resident as an individual. It is the kind of place where care feels personal, and where the surroundings offer a peaceful setting for everyday life.

This residential care home provides personal care for up to 40 people, some living with dementia. At inspection, 23 residents were using the service. The purpose-built home spans two floors, with each level containing bedrooms, a communal lounge, and dining area, along with accessible outdoor spaces.

Inspectors found that medicines were not always managed safely, putting people at risk of missing prescribed doses. While the home was generally clean, unpleasant odours were present. Staffing levels were adequate for care provision, though the kitchen and laundry areas needed additional staff.

Residents reported feeling safe at the home, and staff had begun identifying risks to people and the environment, though this work remained incomplete.
