My Mother in Law has been living at Hill Brow for just over a year and I and all our family are thrilled with the care, love and attention she receives. All of the staff are wonderful and the standards of care are extremely high, led by the management team. There is a perfect mix of professionalism
and humour which makes 'the house', as my Mother in Law calls it, just like living in a large family. We couldn't be happier.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Auntie moved to Hill Brow at the age of 91 years. Until this time she had lived in her own home but she recognised the time had come to move to a place where she would have company and be looked after. She was very nervous. On the day of the move into the home the staff at Hill Brow welcomed her
and made her very comfortable and cared for. She quickly felt at home at Hill Brow and that was thanks to the kindness and care shown to her by all the people there looking after her. My Auntie went out on outings, did activities such as flower arranging, took part in the Sing Song and generally has been having a fantastic time. So much so she told me after only a few weeks at Hill Brow she didn't want to go back to her home. This was such a comforting comment for me to hear her say. She was happy and getting involved in all things going on at the Home. If it's care and kindness your loved one needs I would highly recommend Hill Brow.

I noticed my father's plastic water jug and 2 plastic glasses in his room had not been refreshed over two days. I reported to management. The rooms would benefit from blackout blinds, far too light. One evening I was present, I noticed his bed hadn't been made, but the two girls, who were finishing
their shift, did notice also; and changed and made his bed as I was there. They should also pay attention to applying the name pins onto residents' clothes, particularly on thin items like socks. The pins are sharp and can sit slightly proud.
When I took my father to the hospital for tests, they said care homes should be particularly vigilant in monitoring residents' hydration in a heatwave. I was recommended to another care home. My father is now happily settled, hydrated, and being looked after in his new care home.
Reply from Lauren Stoneman, PA/Administrator at Hill Brow Residential Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention and we are very sorry you feel this way. With regard to resident water jugs, these are changed as a minimum twice a day in addition to our residents being offered refreshments every two hours outside of meal times. It is regrettable that you were unable to raise your concerns with the home when your loved one was staying with us, so we could have discussed and addressed appropriately. We know that you were disappointed that your loved one was unable to stay in the home beyond the respite period you had pre-arranged. However, we are so pleased to hear that your father is happy and settled.

My father has stayed at Hill Brow Residential Care Home a number of times for respite care whilst we take a holiday. He always settles quickly and looks forward to being with the staff, who both understand his needs and who know which elements of the home really work for Dad. The ability to walk around
the beautiful gardens is a priority for Dad as well as being able to balance his own privacy with time with staff and residents. He has enjoyed his three stays so much; we are in the process of working with Hill Brow to find Dad a permanent stay. From my point of view, I know I can trust the excellent care and company he receives, which gives me huge confidence to make the next step in his care. The staff are excellent at looking after the needs of the residents and their relatives.

Dad has been a resident at Hill Brow Residential Care Home since April and was quick to settle due to the attention and care he received from the staff. We had regular updates about him during the first couple of weeks which helped to settle us too. It is a bonus that Dad has been able to bring some
of his furniture with him, and his room looks homely and familiar. All the staff are caring, helpful and ready with a smile. Dad says that he is very comfortable, enjoys the food and is happy with his move. We couldn't ask for more, and I would readily recommend the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since the day of our family visit to consider a place for my mum to date, I have been so pleased with our choice. My mum arrived in Dec 2021 during the Covid pandemic and was in her room most of that time. This is not only a huge demand on her but on the staff who were great, and through that time,
so caring and diligent in their Covid protection measures and procedures. It was assuring to know how much effort was put in to stop the cross infection and keep my mum and others safe and well. Access to primary care was available, and booster vaccination was carried out too. Mum has settled well and has begun to get involved in daytime activities that she refused to do when living at home. This is mostly because she is hard of hearing and lacked confidence. The efforts of the staff to get her involved are really commendable, and it adds to our confidence that Mum is involved and not sitting in her room and becoming lonely. We are so pleased with the staff and the setting at Hill Brow Residential Care Home.

Since our Mother moved to Hillbrow Residential Home she has taken on a new lease of life. From day one it was very apparent from the attitude of the staff and management that it was a happy and professionally run home. Not once whether on the phone or being greeted at the front door did I ever hear

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home since August, having been moved from another home. Despite having been recently bereaved as well as having to deal with all the confusion and changes that Dementia brings, she has settled very quickly. Her room is beautiful and spacious
enough to house many of her precious photos, pictures, books and even some of her own furniture.
The care that she is receiving is amazing. She is loved and appreciated and encouraged to make her own decisions as well as always being kept safe. New friends are being made and there are daily opportunities to be involved in a very wide range of activities.
As family members, we are respected and communicated with frequently.
I have complete confidence in all aspects of Mum’s care and am hugely grateful to every member of staff who have provided the love that has been needed for Mum to continue her journey.

My mum has been at Hill Brow Residential Care Home for just a few weeks but already she is more settled, less stressed and engaging with fellow residents and staff. The care and genuine feel of ‘family’ is evident as soon as you step through the doors of Hill Brow, every member of staff (from the manager
right through to laundry and maintenance teams) is warm, welcoming and continually doing their best for residents, nothing is too much trouble. It is such a relief for my brothers and I to know that she is safe and well looked after within a caring ‘family’.

My father has Alzheimer's and moved to Hill Brow Residential Care Home at the end of August following the sudden death of our mother, who had been his main carer. The staff fell over themselves to get to know Dad and make him feel welcome and valued. He has participated in far more of the activities
than we anticipated and his general mood and well-being seems to have improved as a result. He frequently tells us how blessed he is to have such good care and the staff are always very welcoming when we visit or take him out. I would highly recommend Hill Brow and can't express enough how grateful we are to have found you!

I have been impressed by the care provided during the difficult COVID-19 lockdown that has kept residents safe, but has also well-being. Safe visits have been made possible and entertainment for residents has been provided. As soon as it was possible, a hearing test was arranged for my mother so she
could join in conversations and activities. Mum enjoys a number of the entertainments provided, especially giant crosswords and spelling games. The pictures and newsletters of these events have been appreciated by the family to see that mum was okay. I was also grateful for some staff moving into the residential home during the initial lockdown to look after residents and prevent the virus coming in to the home.

Mum has been resident in Hill Brow since December 2017, and I travel over regularly from Dublin (pre lockdown!) to see her. I have got to know the staff who are always lovely and friendly and take great care of Mum. The staff take care of meeting her individual needs, and the individual needs of all
the other residents I’ve met when I’m visiting.
During the COVID lockdown Hill Brow staff have worked diligently under huge pressure while maintaining high standards in keeping residents safe and happy. I stay in daily touch with Mum thanks to the phone and video calls. Thank goodness for technology until in-person visiting allows again! Thank you, to the manager and all the staff.

My Father has been in Hill Brow since October 2019. He is very well looked after and his physical health has improved significantly since he has been there.

Hill Brow have shown great kindness and care towards my father-in-law and towards us as a family. They make us feel welcome when we visit and their standard of care for my father-in-law is very high. We feel that my father-in-law is happier at Hill Brow than he has been for years. His every need is
taken care of and he has access to engaging activities which, although he can't remember that he's done them, are really good for keeping him active and stimulated. He has always loved his food and Hill Brow provides him with excellent meals and snacks throughout the day. The home is clean and fragrant and members of staff talk to the residents with respect and kindness.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Hill Brow Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Hill Brow Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (475 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 496 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hill Brow Residential Care Home is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Resident Liaison Manager Joined: 2023

My role is incredibly rewarding. I am part of a massive life-changing decision that is incredibly personal and needs to be made with confidence. I think of myself as a guide for families and individuals during this new chapter of their life.


I help support them with any questions and concerns but what I love most is every day I get to meet new people, hear their life stories and build great relationships with them and their families. Once they have moved in it is a joy to watch our residents thrive and enjoy life, and loved ones too.

Job Title: Activities Coordinator Joined: 2012

I love my job as an activities coordinator. The most important part of my day to me is spending quality time with the residents whether in a group activity or chatting on a one to one basis. I particularly enjoy the art and craft activities. When I first started the Wednesday afternoon Art Club I could only persuade a few of the residents to join in, now I have residents and their family join in!


A regular Friday afternoon activity which I introduced soon after I started in this role is Word Association. I always get full attendance for this as the associations can be very unpredictable and humorous.


Story writing is another popular activity. I usually try to tie the theme into a current event or choose a popular childhood memory to develop into a story, however by far the most popular theme is a murder mystery. All of the residents have an opportunity to add a suggestion which is included in the story. The stories are a great way to bring out their sense of humour and it never fails to surprise me how inventive they can be.


I have also introduced food and cooking activities where I have helped the residents pipe onto cakes and biscuits with chocolate or icing and they get to eat their own creations! I use my love of art, cake decorating and watercolour painting to develop new projects and my latest creation is a giant bingo game which can also be used for quiz questions. We always look forward to our weekly outings and also the musicians that come to perform.


It’s a real privilege to be able to spend so much time with our residents. I feel very much appreciated by our residents and enjoy being part of the team at Hill Brow.
