Our family will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and support shown to our father and grandfather during his time at Abbeyfield Hill House.
From the very beginning, it was clear that the home provided a safe, welcoming, and compassionate environment. Dad often spoke warmly about the staff and the genuine friendships he had formed there. The level of care and companionship he received went far beyond expectations and reflected the wonderful culture within the home.
We were always made to feel welcome as a family, and even during very difficult times, everything was handled with professionalism, dignity, and genuine compassion.
Thank you to everyone at Hill House for making such a positive difference to Dad's life and to our family.
Dad was such a lovely man who was cherished by so many. It was always so special to have a cwtch when he needed one.
A true gentleman who was so knowledgeable and loved a chat and Awake and Shake.
It was an honour to have him living with us and a pleasure to meet you and your family, his extended family.
Thank you again.

My mum is very happy here as it is very clean, homely and the staff genuinely care. It also offers fresh home cooked food prepared on site, sometimes from the gardens, offering a great choice of menus. Fresh cooked food is so important when you are a permanent resident as anticipation of any meal is vital when you are homebound and it offers more flexibility. As long as the food remains this way, I would heartily recommend Hill House.
Thank you again and please do be in touch should we be able to do more.

The staff were constantly supportive and in frequent communication with myself and my husband and if we required anything, it was not too much trouble for them.
During her last week, she was semi-conscious, but there was someone sitting with her 24/7, giving her support when she needed it.
We have nothing but praise for the way she was looked after during her stay.
Thank you for your lovely review of Hill House, we miss your Mum dearly and it was a pleasure to have her in our care.
Hill House is a place where I'm always made to feel welcome. Nothing is ever too much trouble, like a second family, and most importantly mum seems happy. Please keep the chefs!

Dear A S, thank you so much for your kind words, you are always welcome at Hill House and it is lovely to hear that we are like a second family.
Good care, very friendly staff who listen to requests. Varied choice of food. Excellent activities, encouraging clients to experience. Storage for incontinence pads is not suitable in rooms. Wardrobes most difficult to open often need repair.

Both Aunt and Uncles spent their last years at Hill House. The care they received was second to none. The staff are all so friendly and caring. I was kept constantly informed of their well-being and any issues that they had, despite living quite far away. When I visited, I was always made very welcome. I was so happy that we chose Hill Hose for their care.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Hill House. Your aunt and uncle were a joy and will be sadly missed by everyone in the team. Kindest regards.
Wonderful visit today. Staff so friendly and welcoming; everyone stopping to chat to us. Spotlessly clean rooms as ever and a sparkling bathroom. Residents seem very well cared for. I’m sure the staff are rushed off their feet, but they take the time to make residents feel special and welcome...
Thank you all.

I couldn't think of a better place for my lovely mother to live. The staff here at Hill House are always so kind and caring. They never rush the residents and are always respectful and patient. They have managed to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere while ensuring all residents are kept safe. The food is homecooked and delicious with choices at breakfast, lunch and supper. There is a wonderful events coordinator who makes sure that there are always activities for the residents to join in with but only if they want to. There is a weekly music therapy session and other entertainment such as visiting bell ringers, various musicians hosting singalongs and even visits from animals such as llamas! Every resident is treated as an individual whose likes and dislikes are taken note of. I am so pleased that I found such a wonderful place for my mum to live and so grateful to the amazing, warm and caring staff who look after her.

Hill House Care Home is a credit to the team who work there. From the day Dad moved in, he was welcomed with open arms, and he and I were made to feel part of the Hill House family. The staff work tirelessly to provide the best care and life for the residents. The food is exceptional, and the activities are full and varied. Prior to moving to Hill House, Dad had rather given up on life, and as a result of their care, we got our old dad back; he was happy and got his smile back.
Thank you for taking the time to review Hill House. We are thrilled to read that your dad received such a warm welcome and that you are both happy with the food and support we provide. Kind regards, Abbeyfield

My mother moved to Hill House following 10 weeks in hospital. She was in a 'poorly way' when she arrived. Staff have given gentle encouragement and over 3 months Mum has regained a quality of life we her children had not thought possible. I would like to add that the lovely garden, beautifully kept, is a component in Mum's enjoyment of life and is much appreciated by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
