Review from Chris D (Wife of Resident) published on 17 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Hill House is not a modern state of the art care home, but it is a very caring home. It has a great homely, and caring atmosphere. The staff are brilliant in their attitude towards residents and visitors alike. Residents are cared for really well. They are kept comfortable, warm and very well fed. The meals are really amazing.

Mum is very happy at Hill House. The staff are very friendly and helpful. She has made friends with other residents and thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas party. I have had excellent assistance from the management team who are always willing to help in any way they can.

Review from Rebecca R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We cannot thank the team at this care home enough for the exceptional care they gave to our Nan over the past year and especially during her end-of-life care. Throughout her time there, she was treated with dignity, kindness, and genuine compassion, which brought our family great comfort.
The staff are truly amazing and consistently go above and beyond. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about Nan as a person, not just as a resident. During her final days, they were incredibly respectful, supportive, and attentive, ensuring she was comfortable and peaceful.
After Nan passed away, the kindness shown to our family meant more than words can express. The support, understanding, and sensitivity from the staff during such a difficult time will never be forgotten.

We will always be grateful for the care, dedication, and humanity shown by everyone involved. This care home is a truly special place, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone

My mum was admitted in February 2025.
All the team there was really dedicated to making muns stay ascconlmfy as possible.
They are very relaxed on visiting times which is really helpful.
We just lost mum yesterday, while I was there they gave me a room upstairs to use so I could stay & be there for my mum as much as possible .

All the team went above and beyond & made mums last year a pleasant one .

The home was lovely,the carers were very attentive and caring towards our mum although my mum was only there for six months as mum sadly passed away,
Mum didnt feel lonely or anxious either which was very reasuring.
Manager and owner were great too if we had any issues with mum they certainly sorted things out and let the family know what they were doing.

Thank you so much for the care you gave our lovely mum

Review from Michelle M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 24 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum went to Hill House after a long stay in hospital and a re-enablement centre, she lacked her usual confidence and her dementia had advanced tremendously. I cannot thank the manager and her team at Hill House enough for the love and care they showed mum. They have encouraged her eating and she has gained few kilos (much needed) and is smiling and looking really well. We will use Hill House again for respite and if necessary long term care.

Review from E M (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 10 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can't speak highly enough of the care my gran received during her three-week stay. It was clear that she was not only being well looked after but was also genuinely happy. I visited three times during her stay, and each time, I was greeted by friendly, compassionate staff who were attentive to her needs. The level of care was outstanding.
The new manager, truly went above and beyond. Her dedication to providing the best care was evident, ensuring that my gran felt comfortable, safe, and loved. It was such a comfort to see her so well cared for, and it really felt like she had found a second home.
Additionally, the Mother's Day celebrations, and the decorations were absolutely stunning. The attention to detail and the care put into making the day special for the residents was heartwarming.

The care home truly exceeded all my expectations, and I'm so grateful for the care and support they provided. Thank you to everyone at the home for making her time special!

Overall Experience
My mum loves her new home. All your colleagues are so caring. Mum loves for food especially. Her room could do with a little TLC... The mattress is not the best and her room smells of urine. I know this is very difficult to maintain.

Mum would live nowhere else, she is having the best of times.

Review from J C (Sister of Resident) published on 31 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My sister has been a resident of Hill House for approximately 18 months. She seems happy there and is well looked after. She enjoys watching television and reading in her room. The staff are all very welcoming and helpful. My sister can be a bit fussy as regards food but the staff are happy to oblige with something she would like. It is nice to see a hairdresser and chiropodist now visit the home on a regular basis and my sister's hair always looks very nice when she has been to the hairdresser. I receive a monthly newsletter from the home saying what the residents have been up to and what they will be doing, which I appreciate as I don't get to visit very often.

Review from R R (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mum has been at Hill House for a number of years, and at times care has not been up to standard. However, I was very pleased to see that in the last 4 or 5 months, standards have taken a turn for the better. I was also sent a copy of CQC report to read, and so was also very pleased to see that Hill House now has a good report across all aspects.

Well done to staff and all people involved, may it remain as good. I'm now happier that Mum is being looked after so much better.

Review from Sharon S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This home should not be open. The abuse and neglect are listed on the CQC website. The staff and owner are shameful. Make sure you review this home and if your family are in here please look into CQC and believe what you read.

My family member was in here but not for long after truths came out.

Review from John T (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This home is an absolute shambles. From entering the home there wasn't a hello or who are you seeing by the staff members. No pen to sign in or out. The rooms were filthy dusty, and full of cobwebs. There was even a pile of dirt/dust inside the drawers. I found the staff members including the owner to be extremely unprofessional and rude. We are having to deal with the correct authorities due to the neglect and abuse that have been witnessed, absolutely sickens me.

Review from Amy M (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From working in care myself I know that the most important thing in any place is the staff. With all the best equipment and facilities, if the staff do not care then the residents won't be happy.
From the moment we arrived the staff had my mum laughing and joking and they were so quick to build bonds with her! Staff have been great at supporting me with working with my mum's social worker to advocate for what is best for my mum. My mum is always sending me pictures of chocolates the staff have taken to her room and also tells me how lovely they all are!
They are never too busy to take the time to talk with family and are always smiling. This truly is a home away from home.

I can't thank you enough for all you have done and when I have been at the point of giving up fighting for my mum's needs you guys have motivated me to keep pushing for the social worker to make sure her needs have been met!

Review from Sandra G (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 October 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Although the facilities need updating and the gardens need to be maintained and more accessible, the carers are amazing - especially certain staff members who are always extremely helpful and caring towards my mother. I would like to see more activities provided but as I'm not there I haven't got a full insight into this. I have noticed that when I am there at the weekends it seems that the carers are extremely busy and in my view could do with a few extra carers. I do feel a couple of the carers are outstanding.
