Hollywood Rest Home

This place is NOT a care home. It is where you dump people to die. Any 5 star reviews are fake or by paid staff. Management are compulsive liars and it is severely understaffed for the 42 extended care fees they con from the Council and taxpayers. Only 3 staff on one morning I was there, to see to 42 people who needed morning care. Management are usually on the door steps having a long smoke break and the owner is never to be seen inside the house. When the Owner was cornered outside and asked by a patient why he had not had his morning painkillers, the owner/care manager did not know his name or who he was, even though the patient had been there for 6 months! Later the patient was accidentally dropped on the floor and ended up in hospital. You often have to step over humans just left on the floor in the lounge. Patients under fed, one meal a day and little assistance given to eat, your meal is taken away if you do not eat it in time. I witnessed five meals returned in one sitting because no assistance was available, even though it was asked for. Some staff routinely swear at patients and make efforts to ignore them if they keep asking for help. This is NOT a care home, it is a money making scheme for the rarely seen arrogant owner/so called designated "care manager". aka "Don't Care Manager".

Hollywood Rest Home is an extremely inspiring place to have done my work experience. All residents there are looked after by friendly nurses, all of whom are very caring and aim to deliver the best service possible to the residents. The management team work extremely hard to fulfil their tasks, even after a stressful day.

My father was here for 3 1/2 years until he passed away September 2020. I cannot fault this care home at all. The care my father received was amazing. The staff are amazing and always made you feel welcomed. Without this place I don't know what we would have done as we had tried other care homes and they were awful. Meals are all freshly cooked on the premises and always looked and smelt lovely. Everyone is treated with the upmost respect and nothing is ever to much trouble. Thank you to each and everyone of the staff for the love and care my father received we will forever be truly thankful.

As another reviewer has said, "not a person to be trusted" very true. I lived in one of his HMO houses temporary till I found a trustworthy landlord. It was very dilapidated, old wooden windows, terrible heating, dirty cupboards and walls, old bed with dirty mattress. He spends nothing on that house, yet his house I discovered from another tenant is big and probably expensive. A person who's ambition is to make money and put himself above others.
