Very good care home. Very pleased with the treatment of my mother.
The staff are always welcoming to me as a visitor and are very patient, caring and cheerful with the residents including my mum-in-law.
I have visited twice, the staff are excellent, helpful and friendly.
Nan always seems happy and relaxed and although I haven't seen her room I have heard it is clean and comfortable. The staff are wonderful and so caring which makes such a difference to us as family.
I have nothing but respect for the staff at Hill House as they do an excellent job always friendly and have a joke and a smile.
Mum was very relaxed and waiting to meet us in the conservatory (her favourite place), very private and peaceful/quiet. I had a lovely visit. Mum looked very well and was dressed very smartly.
Staff are very professional, yet caring and understanding. Flexible for service users needs and values.
My mum always enjoys meeting up with the family and enjoys the conservatory and looking into the garden. She was a very keen gardener. Appreciated the attention and physical contact people bring.
During my sisters stay at Hill House the care she received was above reproach. On all occasions, the staff were efficient, organised and friendly. As I live some way away they were particularly good at keeping in touch.
The staff are always friendly, patient and look after my mother very well. I visit around twice a week and I am kept up to date with mum's health and needs. No matter how busy the staff are, I am always made a cup of coffee.
Thank you for your review Stephen. The team here all work very hard to ensure that we are able to get reviews such as the one you have written. As a new manager, it is wonderful to be able to recognise your review due to the relationship we have built in such a short space of time.
