Life at The Hollies

Life at The Hollies is relaxed, friendly, and fun. There is always plenty to do! We have a regular programme of activities, as well as special events and days out. But this is all completely optional. Residents may choose instead to relax in the lovely garden, or enjoy some peace and quiet in their own room.

We recognise the little things that can make our residents feel right at home. That’s why we consult our residents before our weekly grocery shop to find out if there is anything they’d like us to buy for them. We are happy to buy residents the toiletries they like, at no extra costs. Newspapers are free.

Activities

There is a fun activity organised every day for our residents. From quizzes and bingo to discos and arts and crafts, there’s plenty to keep them entertained. We offer keep fit and chair dance to help keep residents active. There are also plenty of board games to play at any time. A wonderful opera and jazz singer visits us monthly and is happy to take requests!

We organise regular outings, whether to drop in to a local café or pub, or enjoy the best London has to offer.  Recently, we’ve visited the Royal Albert Hall and the RAF Museum. We also have great fun on our annual trip to Southend on Sea!

Religious services can be arranged to take place within the home. Residents are equally welcome to visit the local churches.

Residents are free to come and go as they like. We can organise transport to help residents visit local amenities, such as Palmers Green library, or local shops.

Meals

Our residents enjoy fresh food prepared in house. They participate in creating our monthly menus and there is always a choice or alternative available so everyone enjoys a healthy, balanced diet.

Some of our residents enjoy a glass of wine or a beer with their meal. Enjoying a drink in our sunny garden can be a wonderful way for residents to relax and enjoy each other’s company. When the weather’s fair, we’re happy to serve meals al fresco in the garden too.

We have some fun theme nights that involve eating and drinking. Our cocktail nights are always fun, as is our curry and quiz night!

Visiting services

We’re very lucky to have a hairdresser that comes to The Hollies once a week to keep us all smart. We also have a chiropodist who visits every six weeks, and an optician that visits from time to time.

These services are available to all our residents at an additional cost, but the rates are very competitive and the service exceptional.
