Anyone who cares for a parent or other relative with dementia knows the level of care it takes to provide a good quality of life.
It’s extremely challenging even if you’re fit and healthy and have the best of intentions.
Accepting help from professionals can be difficult at first. However, with dementia being such a serious and unpredictable condition, there may come a time to consider other options.
If you’re based in the Garforth area of West Yorkshire, we can be that option for you if the time has come.
The Hollies are located immediately next-door to St Armands Court at 27 Church Lane, Garforth.
The home specialises in caring for elderly people with dementia. We maintain strong links with local healthcare professionals, allowing specialist care for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia-related conditions.
There are 28 rooms available (en suite WC in five rooms).
Call 01132 871 808 today to check for availability.
Aimee (Manager The Hollies)
Aimee has worked within the care industry for 29 years and is currently undertaking a Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care Leadership and Management.
Aimee has a passion for ensuring that person centred care is delivered to all that are living within the service, as she believes it is the residents’ home that staff are working in. Aimee actively promotes residents’ independence as much as possible and encourages the staff to work in the same way.
Aimee actively trains and supports staff in dementia care techniques, such as if a resident becomes agitated or upset at times, identifying and working out the reason as to why that person has become distressed is paramout. Aimee is passionate about identifying and analysing why residents become distressed and what are possible triggers, and will support staff to put strategies in place to minimise distress of residents so residents feel comfortable, supported and heard.

Our Care Philosophy
We firmly believe that the foundation of a caring environment comes from its people.
Our care homes are run according to our four values of care, which are displayed around both our homes in Garforth.
These values extend to both staff and residents, as a caring environment is one where people are in harmony with each other. The four values of care are:
⓵
Always seek to understand and respond to the wishes and needs of our residents.
⓶
Strive to create a team working environment where everyone can continuously learn and grow.
⓷
Be proud of our professional appearance, language, and behaviour.
⓸
Understand that if anyone makes a mistake, it will be treated in an open and transparent way as a learning experience for everyone.
Testimonials
Treated like family
“Experience superb! Nothing is too much trouble for The Hollies staff, who are at all times attentive and caring. This applies to both the physical care and the emotional needs of the residents who are treated like and looked upon as family. For the 17+ months she was there, I always knew that she was being looked after and her self-contentment was obvious when visiting, which I did 4 times a week. I even felt able to go on holiday with a clear conscience! I cannot recommend it too highly!”
– John T, husband of resident (June 2019)
Life doesn’t stop here
We have a diverse activity timetable to suit all, developed with residents, from dancing, singing, arts and crafts, visiting animals, spiritual and religious meetings, local school visits, exercise classes and trips out in to the local community
Meet the Owner
Harvey Zemmel, owner of Garforth Residential, has 30 years’ experience as an advisor, operator and financier in care of the elderly.
Over the past three decades in healthcare, he has helped to raise the standard and quality of service in elderly care facilities across the UK. It remains his goal to this day.
He has personally been involved in projects involving scores of care homes, with many hundreds of beds and hundreds of staff.
Between 1997 and 2007, he also built a residential care home group from scratch to operating nine homes with hundreds of residents and staff.
Care and customer service always come first.
He believes that nowhere is this ethic more important than in the care of our elderly family members—but it is where some larger organizations struggle.
In both of the homes that came under his management in Garforth in 2018, Harvey has built teams that reflect his own values of care, where the needs of residents are foremost.
He considers this as the only way to provide the individual in care with quality of life and the family with peace of mind.
