Friendly, efficient staff, always on hand to help. The rooms are small but comfortable, no ensuite. There is a varied diet - good, tasty food and I enjoy the quizzes as part of the available activities.

Thank you for the review, we try our hardest to be friendly on a daily basis.
Recent residents' meeting, was very informative. They need more funds to support activities for the residents, hopefully, this will come from the events to be held in the next few weeks. Care and service are very good, staff very friendly but always professional.

Thank you for this lovely review, we are all looking forward to the up-and-coming events that we have planned.
I am very happy here. The food is excellent and so are the staff, except the men.

They cannot do enough for you to help with the situation you are in. All staff are so friendly always have a smile. All are so good with all residents and kind. They always have time to listen to you and lend and helping ear - they are one in a million.

Not only did they fully agree to our request, they decorated the cafe/bar area and laid on a birthday spread of snacks, sandwiches, cake and soft drinks - fantastic. The staff made the whole event memorable and have our utmost thanks.
Thank you for these lovely comments. I will pass them on to my wonderful staff.

Mum moved into The Hillings in November 2020. She was made to feel very welcome by the staff and after an initial period, where she felt a bit unsure with her surroundings, she is now very settled there. We know she is safe and well looked after and now seems to be thriving in The Hillings environment.
Thank you for the lovely comments. I will pass this on to the staff as they do a fantastic job on a daily basis and as their manager, I am very proud of them all.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I will be sure to pass it on to the care staff that do such a great job, during a challenging time.
In all my dealings with all staff in this home, I cannot praise them enough. They are always available to keep me updated about my mother's welfare. I haven't been around the home as I normally sit in a visitors room, but Mother tells me it is a comfortable establishment.

My mother has been a resident for a few years now and is very happy there. The staff are without exception friendly, caring and professional. I have been extremely impressed by the way they have and are continuing to cope with the pandemic regulations. They have been under enormous pressure, looking after everyone but it has not affected the quality of care to their residents or the way relatives are treated. When I phone to arrange a visit, or for any other reason, whoever answers the phone is always cheerful and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I know my mother is being well cared for every day. Although visiting is limited at the moment, the staff are keeping the residents' spirits up and organising things for them to do as well as all their usual work. They should all be congratulated for coping so well. I have no hesitation in recommending this home and am so glad that we managed to obtain a place for my mother there.
Thank you so much for these lovely comments - it is so nice to read such positivity.
My mother is now very frail and needs constant supervision. The staff are caring and understanding and keep us informed about all the changes that are having to be made for her care and safety.

Thank you for this lovely review that you have completed.
Difficult times for everyone, but all staff pleasant and easy to talk to. They try to accommodate everybody's wishes where possible while keeping residents safe, and more importantly, happy. I feel my aunt is well cared for.

The Hillings was the first choice of my relative as she had visited in the past and I was quite happy to go along with her choice. The home is clean, tidy and well maintained as is very 'homely'. Due to the pandemic, I have been unable to visit this year as I am shielding, so it gives me peace of mind that she is happy and well looked after. The staff are always friendly, kind and helpful and if there is a problem we are contacted and kept informed at all times. Thank you for all your care.
Thank you so much for this lovely review; it really means a lot to the team when we receive such positive feedback.
I have found The Hillings to be professional, caring and proactive. They have dealt with the exceptional challenges of 2020 so well.

Very noisy - Doors (outer) banging shut, other doors squeaking night and day - trollies very noisy, can hear staff talking during the night. Bells (alarm) ringing for 20-30 minutes at times. No hot drinks, always at bedtime even if requested. Meals not very imaginative, especially tea time. Often items on menu not available or wrong description - Cobbler was only mince and mash, no baked potatoes. Payment should be based on amount of care/support, not on a fixed rate. Would only award four stars overall. Would like fish cakes/fingers for tea occasionally. Being in this environment I am losing my own sanity. Be glad to get home.

I am sorry that your stay with us was not satisfactory or met your expectations, I will take all your comments on board and address them in our next staff meeting.Thank you for your comments as we can learn from these and hopefully improve if you ever wish to visit us again, we really enjoyed your company whilst you stayed with us and we were all sad to see you leave, but on a positive, it is lovely that you were able to return home to independent living, and we would be happy for you to visit for lunchtime and at Christmas as we spoke about on your last day with us.
Staff always have time to talk to visitors and residents and make the effort when it's a birthday or whatever.
They always say hello, how are you with a smile.
Thank them all.

I have only been living at The Hillings for a few months but it is wonderful. The staff are so nice. They let me still wash up and lay the table for meal times like I would have at my home. There is always something to do, live music, exercise classes, visits from the local churches and animal visits which are great. I cannot talk more highly of The Hillings.
Thank you for your kind words I will relay what you have said back to the staff team I am really pleased that you enjoy living with us here at The Hilling.
My sister said she is very happy here and the staff are very kind and helpful to her. I can't wish for better.
