My mother moved to Starr Hills Autumn 2025 and remains there. The move itself went smoothly because of the help and guidance received from Philippa and her staff. We looked around a number of homes before deciding on Starr Hills and we remain confident our choice was correct.
The premises are always spotless. The staff are not just friendly, they know your name, they know mum and say what she has been doing. The quality of the care and carer staff is incredible.
Mum has always enjoyed good food and is constantly pleased with the menu, service and food quality.
Events for residents take place several times a week, often twice a day. The facilities are excellent with cafe, cinema, shop, library, lift, garden, community lounge, hairdressing and nails professionally attended to. Access for family and friends is easy and visitors are made very welcome.
Philippa and team run an excellent, professional and friendly service and provide good family communication.

Star Hills is an outstanding care home in every way. What a relief to find a home that takes such good care of its residents. Families can rest knowing loved ones are well cared for and happy. Smiling faces everywhere, great communication with other professionals when needed. Manager Phillipa is wonderful and leads her staff as a wonderful role model.

Not once in the past two months have I found any fault with the staff, I visit every morning and at no time have I found any faults with the staff, in my opinion they go above within duties. I cannot express my appreciation for the care given to my partner.

The staff could not have been more pleasant, helpful or friendly if they had been looking after their own grandad. Food has been excellent with a varied menu. Too much pork for me personally. The entertainment has been fun and informative. If the need arises would I come back, yes!

Our dad has been a resident at Starr Hills since Oct 2024. Following a 3 month stay in hospital last year, he had lost the ability (and confidence) to walk and still hadn't made a full recovery prior to arriving at Starr Hills. In the first few weeks the improvement in our dad's health was nothing short of a miracle. He went from strength to strength. The care and support he received from all the staff was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble. Dad loved it so much that he decided not to return to his house and to make Starr Hills his new home. That care and support has continued and now he can walk as fast as me albeit with a walker. He is happy, well and content. He takes part in the activities which he really enjoys and appreciates the friendships he has made with both carers and residents. Our family will always be eternally grateful to Starr Hills as without them we are not sure he would have fully recovered. You have all given him a new lease of life and we couldn't be happier
