Yes the establishment is a little tired looking, but the care Mum receives is great and at the end of the day Mum's happiness is all that matters. I know if ever I needed to speak to any member of staff at Hillside I can anytime of day or night full with confidence, which means a lot to me.
My twin brother moved into Hillside Nursing Home from the hospital, he settled in right away due to the staff always being there to assist him in his daily routine, so he was able to go into the lounge and sit with the other patients during the day. The home was always spotless and the other...
I cannot thank all at Hillside for making my brother's stay as comfortable as he could be with his illness.
My sister and I were offered tea and biscuits - always a plus!
The lounge was festive with a beautiful Xmas tree.

Although my relative was only in Hillside Nursing Home for a short period of time it was obvious that she benefitted from the care and attention received. At all times the staff were helpful to me and my relatives friends. Taking time to ensure that we were left fully informed throughout. It was very comforting to know she was in such caring hands.

Mum came into Hillside in January 2020 and was not expected to live for very long. However, both you and the entire team made every effort to ensure our mum was safe, comfortable and well cared for. Remarkably, mum went on to live for a 22 months.
We recognise the significant challenges and constraints placed on you and your team over the past two difficult years caused by Covid and government cutbacks but the Hillside team at no time allowed this to detract from your core purpose of giving the very best care to our mum.
Our family are forever in your debt for the personal attention, compassion, and dignity shown to her throughout her stay up to and including her sad passing this morning.
Please extend our sincere thanks to all who got to know our mum and who devoted so much time and effort caring for her.
Ongoing care continues to be good. This review is to say "thanks" for the preparation prior to my father's recent clinical group review. The manager and the team prepared supporting data/evidence in advance and provided a comprehensive pack for the assessor on the day. Thanks again. Really...

Hillside Nursing Home is a fantastic place. The staff are very caring and always cheerful despite the difficult job they have. My husband was poorly when he first became a president and the staff have worked hard with him to improve his mobility etc.

Responsive to family requirements and requests, really resident focused.
Approachable.
Outside a bit scruffy but care very good.

As others have said, the outside of the home is a little disappointing, shabby and a bit uncared for, but once your inside and you meet the staff, this is where it really matters. My mom has only been here a few weeks and so far very impressed with the care she is receiving. Staff are lovely, professional and cheerful. I feel very happy when I leave there knowing she is being looked after very well.
Recently my Nan was placed into Hillside Nursing Home for end of life care. I can honestly say that the staff in this home were second to none. Even though her time at Hillside was short she was treated with nothing but dignity even down to her passing. The carers in this homemade her and us as a...
Thank you to all the staff at Hillside Nursing what you did for us will always be remembered. You made a very hard time that little bit more bearable.
The building may look a bit tired but that is just cosmetic, The cleanliness was excellent and the building always smelt extremely clean.
Covid measures in place are good and they are clearly treating the resident's safety as their priority.
Care was excellent, mattress was not satisfactory.

Having previously had a bad experience with a vare home elsewhere I was worried when Mum was moved here from hospital but shouldn't have worried. Every member of staff is so helpful, attentive and so kind. My mum looks so well cared for and the place is so clean.

My ex-husband has resided at Hillside since the first lockdown - March 2019. I have found the home to be run, by the manager and her hand-picked staff, excellently. In fact, it is a pleasure for me to visit. Everyone within is friendly and treat the residents with care and respect. This gives me the assurance that our loved one is being given the best care. I highly recommend Hillside.

However, I felt that at times the staff did not know what they were actually doing, lack of communication and on several occasions, I had to explain that my mum was here on a temporary basis, they do not encourage residents to be self-sufficient which is important when you are staying there for a short period.
I had to more or less re-write my mum's care plan as she was able to do things that they said she could not, they did not provide me with regular updates on my mum, and the visiting times are awful, changed my mum's GP without my knowledge and had to complain about a man showering my mum on his own.
To be honest, if you are looking for a care home for your loved one think twice about sending them here.

I am sorry that you feel you did not have a positive experience during your mother's stay. The care we provide for our residents is of the utmost importance and we take any criticism very seriously in the hope that we can learn from it.We have a team of trained staff with considerable experience in the care industry. Our staff undergo regular refresher training courses and work hard to give our residents a quality of life that incorporates their dignity and privacy. The home is currently being redecorated and we have dedicated domestic staff who work hard to maintain a safe, clean environment. Our staff go the extra mile and have put forth an extensive effort to keep our care home safe and free of Coronavirus. I will contact you via e-mail to discuss your review in more depth.
At Hillside, we are taking reviews very seriously and we’re constantly striving for feedback to improve our services. We would like to wish your mum well and wishing her good health.
Good to see my nan well and healthy.
Should have a blanket, as she is 104-years-old and visits our outside!

Thank you for your review. The home works hard to ensure that everyone is safe and well and I am certain that we will have a blanket for garden visits. I will contact them to ensure that this is always available. Kind regards
While the fabric of the building and grounds is not great, the staff and the care they give is terrific. All staff have shown that they genuinely care for the residents, and I'm very happy in the knowledge that Mum is being well cared for.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your honest feedback. We are, now lockdown is partially lifting, concentrating our time and efforts on our buildings and gardens. There is still a little way to go, however, we know the care and staff team are excellent. We receive so much positive feedback from residents and families, and we are very proud of the work they do. Kind regards.
