Review from George K (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 31 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Brother in Law was in College Hill Care Home for around 10 and a half years. Sadly, he recently passed away after a short illness. However, I must say that the care and treatment that he received in College Hill was exemplary throughout his time there. My wife and I used to visit him very regularly and we never had any cause to question his care. He was always smiling and well kept and the staff and management there were, in our opinion, first class. Recently, my wife became ill with dementia and I myself was forced to seek care for her. I placed in into 2 very highly rated (according to online reviews) nursing homes in turn. Both proved to be absolutely useless and provided nowhere near the level of care that my wife requires and so I was forced to remove her from each in turn. This only brought home to me how well cared for James had been over the years and, if I could have obtained that level of care for my wife, then I would have been absolutely delighted.

Review from Debbie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum suffers with advanced dementia, she has just spent 3 weeks in respite and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care she received, the staff are lovely and the care home itself is very clean, I had mixed feelings of leaving my mum in respite, but the minute I walked in I felt at ease and both Mum and I were welcomed with open arms, the staff were happy and well presented, I was given regular updates on things Mum was doing via email which was a lovely idea and when I went to collect her noticed she had put a little weight on and had such rosy cheeks, she looked so well and happy. It’s just a shame I’ve had to bring her closer to me otherwise I would have loved her to be a permanent resident. What a lovely place. She even made some friends during her short stay. Thank you to everyone for caring for my mum.
↩Reply from Samantha Camadoo, Manager at College Hill Residential Home
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a great pleasure caring for your mum, and we wish her all the best from everyone at College Hill!

Review from Amerie L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This home has been great for my nan, and they have been great in helping her rehab her hip to the point she is now walking and doing stairs with confidence. All the staff treat her with the utmost care and dignity. The staff always keep me informed about my nan's care and health. Whenever I visit the home, I get a warm welcome and it really feels like a home. It is always spotless and always nicely decorated for various occasions, like Christmas or a birthday. The home made my nan's 90th so very special. The home always strives to keep its residents entertained, organising various activities and outings, including a trip to the panto. My nan is very happy here and will be sad to leave when her house is fully ready for her.

Overall Experience
My brother resides at College Hill and is very happy there. He has been in care most of his adult life due to mental health issues and he has never seemed happier in any of the previous places that he has stayed so we are very satisfied with the care he is receiving there.

Review from Shani F (Friend of Resident) published on 14 December 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I have been visiting my close friend at this care home for 10 years and have always been impressed with the care provided by the management and staff. Very friendly atmosphere and the premises are extremely clean and well kept. If I was having to go into a care home, this is the one I would choose and I know my relatives would feel secure in the knowledge that I am being cared for in a lovely home.
