Holloway House is the Abbeyfield house in Quorn, built
with a combination of public and charitable donations. Over one-third of its cost was
raised locally by volunteers. The House opened in 1996 in Sutton Close, a quiet
residential area of the village, and is constructed to a high specification. It has twelve
bed-sitting rooms on two floors, served by a lift. There are special bathrooms and other
aids for the disabled, a spacious communal lounge/dining area with an inductive loop
system for the hard of hearing, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, electric buggy
storage/charging facilities, a guest room, and a recently constructed garden room
overlooking landscaped gardens.
All the bed-sitting rooms have en-suite facilities,
telephone and television points and continuously monitored emergency personal alarms.
Residents have their own door keys to their room and to the house, and their own external
front door bell.
The bed-sitting rooms are carpeted but residents choose colour schemes for the walls,
furnish their own rooms and are free to come and go, and have visitors, as they wish. If a
resident chooses to be alone, that's fine. There is no regimentation, although there are
set mealtimes when residents can come together for a communal meal at lunch and tea.
Residents prepare their own breakfast, with provided
ingredients, which they eat in their room. This enables them to keep to their own
'getting-up time' each morning. There are kitchenettes on both floors.
A House Manager looks after the general well-being of the residents and cooks their meals.
An administrator manages the day to day operation of the house.
