Review from I H (Friend of Resident) published on 6 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend has been a resident at Hillside for about 6 months. I visit regularly. I've met a number of the staff as I have responsibilities towards the resident.
Everyone I have met has been responsive and friendly. They have also been proactive, phoning me up as necessary.
Their interaction with residents
is warm and caring.
The manager is a very good example of this.
The facilities are very good - many more common spaces than in my friend's previous care home.
I would recommend Hillside. Go and see it and, above all, meet some of the people.

Being dubious about care homes. Hillside totally eroded any negative thoughts for care for an end of life service. You could not ask for a better set up and the dignity and respect to us all involved was exceptional. We will be ever thankful for Hillsides staff in making our family members last few
weeks of life, comforting and soothing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I first visited Hillside Nursing home I didn't know what to expect but, to my great satisfaction I witnessed respect, great personal care, the staff interaction with the Service users is brilliant.


The management provide weekly pastoral care, Christmas party activities which includes raffles

and karaoke. The lounge areas for family and friends to engage with their loved ones are well furnished and clean.


My observation of the medical care provided is also very impressive. The staffing levels are very adequate and consistent, I see the same staff week in week out which can only be good for the residents, another satisfying and reassurance has been the fire drills I have witnessed.


I find the management and staff very engaging and welcoming, always offering you a cup of tea or coffee with a welcoming smile and hello, keep up the great work and care provided.

The care and diligence of staff at Hillside is outstanding. They took time to thoroughly understand all aspects to of Auntie's physical and emotional needs and to provide appropriate care
I have no hesitation in recommending Hillside as a caring, safe place for loved ones living with, or without,
dementia.
Bilgy, the manager, is amazing and went out of her way to accommodate us.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Bildy and the team at Hillside who looked after my father in the last few days of his life last week. After a swift move out of Stoke Mandeville hospital we didn;t really know what to expect at short notice, but every single person we met there treated my father
with respect, professionalism and love. No request or question from us was too big or small, and it made the last few days of his life as comfortable and warm as you could wish for. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Bless ya. Jon, Andy and Greta (and Robin)

All the staff are very caring. My step-mother responds well to them all and is happy, relaxed and obviously comfortable due to the standard of care she receives.
She has quite complex needs, yet they are met well by the dedicated staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am visiting my nephew who is completely paralysed, I visit him twice a day as he has no one around to check up on him. Each time I come just randomly
The place is one of the most beautiful and stress free places in uk. The care home is so well equipped and the staff are just amazing people. All smiling
all welcoming all gentle and kind.
My nephew loves it in there and he wishes to stay there forever.
I would for sure this place has changed my views about care homes forever, I hope the rest of the care homes would come and visit this place so they can learn how the care homes should.
Thank you so much to the manager and the staff so grateful.

I cannot recommend this care home enough. From showing us the rooms available to the very last day when my father sadly passed away they cared for us all not just my father. They made him comfortable and his stay there certainly improved his last weeks of life. I had forgotten how kind people can be
and the staff here are commendable. In particular Andrea showed so much compassion and kindness and helped us through the whole process from start to finish. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Reply from Bilgy Joseph, Home Manager at Hillside Nursing HomeThank you for sharing such a heartfelt message.

Well done Hillside .

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for Hillside Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.665 for Hillside Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.665
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hillside Nursing Home is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
