Overall Experience
All staff are polite, friendly, and very helpful.
Pureed food for Mum is pleasant for her.
Staff on the 1st floor where Mum is resident are attentive and nothing is too much trouble.
The overall experience to date is excellent.

Any issues I have are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

My friend is going through a very difficult stage and the staff have demonstrated great patience and kindness consistently. Physical care has been exemplary and tolerance of mental difficulties could not be faulted.

As a friend of the family I thought your versatility was wonderful when extra nights were needed at short notice.

All the staff I met were friendly. It created a nice atmosphere.

I came here from the hospital to Hillside nursing home for rehabilitation as suffered from minor strokes, a minor heart attack, and low oxygen levels due to being overweight. Hillside is an excellent home but needs more staff for activities and sometimes there food is cold.

Review from Robin H (Son of Resident) published on 26 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother was cared for at Hillside from 2016 until she passed in early December 2024, aged 104. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the excellent management and leadership, along with the staff on 'Hogarth'. The management and staff were always happy to keep relatives up to date with any issues and answer any questions we had. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to any potential future resident and their family.

Reply from Bilgy Joseph, Home Manager at Hillside Nursing Home

Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding the care we provided to your mother. We are delighted to hear that you felt we delivered the best possible care during her time with us. Your willingness to recommend our service to others seeking care is greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your kind words.

Review from Phil C (Brother of Resident) published on 26 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My brother moved into Hillside Nursing Home 4 years ago. For the first 2 1/2 years I was very happy. Though the past 18 months I have seen a change and it saddens me. Attitudes need to change then the high-level care can return.

Reply from Kath Burgoyne, Area Manager at Hillside Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. I am sorry you have seen a change at Hillside in the past 18 months. If you would like to email us at feedback@mha.org.uk, we would be happy to receive your comments and take appropriate action.

Review from Margaret K (Friend of Resident) published on 31 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our friend is a lifelong Methodist and wanted to move into Hillside Nursing Home. When we visited in September 2024, we were delighted to find that Hillside was light and airy, in great decorative order, newly carpeted and smelled fresh. We were given a tour of the premises and given plenty of information about the running of the home and the care which our friend could expect.
When our friend moved into Hillside, we found that the management and nursing teams were always available and willing to answer our questions which was a great comfort to us at a very stressful time.

Our friend is now coming to terms with being a resident in a care home and we are grateful for the support he is being given.

Review from Julie T (Sister of Resident) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My brother has progressive multiple sclerosis and was living alone in Norfolk with carer visits, the situation was dangerous, he was alone for periods during the day and alone through the night. After an application and tour around Hillside Nursing Home he moved into permanent residence there in September 2024, so he was finally back in Aylesbury! The first few weeks were a bit edgy as he wasn't used to 24 hour care, however, the staff at Hillside are highly trained in making sure residents are made to feel welcome, comfortable and cared for, they build up trust and friendliness. My brother has settled in well and when myself and other family members visit the staff interact with us in every way to make sure he is happy. The care is exceptional, we wouldn't want him to be anywhere else. The building is extremely clean and very well managed, we are looking forward to the warmer months when we can sit with our brother outside on the lovely and colourful wooden veranda and also let him experience the outdoor activities.

Review from A S (Mother of Resident) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been enjoying regular respite care at Hillside Nursing Home for over 5 years now and I can honestly say that the experience has been a thoroughly positive one in every way. The staff are dedicated, professional and good humoured, treating my son with kindness, love and respect. I am always super confident to leave him in their care, it feels like family, or better! If ever any issues arise I know I can express them openly and that they will always be dealt with swiftly and professionally. Thank you Hillside and long may our friendship continue.

Reply from Bilgy Joseph, Home Manager at Hillside Nursing Home

Overall Experience
Hillside Nursing Home is a very welcoming home, the carers are very friendly and accommodating, and the nurses as well.

Sadly, I can't say the same for the newly appointed manager, she is very dismissive and comes across as non caring.

Reply from Kath Burgoyne, Area Manager at Hillside Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback and I am glad to hear that the team are welcoming and accommodating. We are disappointed to hear your views of our newly appointed manager and would be happy to meet with you to explore these concerns.

Review from L P (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We could not be happier with the care our mother is receiving at Hillside. Without exception, be it a member of the cleaning team or someone in a management role, the staff are kind, compassionate and thoughtful and always have a smile and a friendly word. Having a family member in a nursing home can be a worrying time, but it is such a comfort for us to know that our Mum is safe and so well looked after. We would be confident to recommend Hillside to anyone.

Reply from Grainne Wokes, Home Manager at Hillside Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am very pleased to hear that you have had a good experience of the Hillside team. It is always a pleasure meeting families and get to know our resident's loved ones. As always if there is anything that we can do to support you all do not hesitate to ask.

Review from S W (Friend of Resident) published on 2 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The home was chosen for my friend because it had connections with the local Methodist Church, which takes services there and she needed to attend church regularly. I have found all the staff welcoming, approachable and willing to listen to me and have kept me informed about her care and welfare. She has been well cared for, ensuring her physical and psychological needs have been met. Overall, I have been satisfied with all aspects of the home.

Review from R N (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

You will never find a home more perfect than Hillside Nursing Home. Every staff member from the management team, cleaning, finance, admin and chef go above and beyond. I was so worried when my dad moved to a home so far from me. But I soon realised he was in the best place. If I had searched forever I would never have found anywhere more perfect. My dad has recently passed and they were supportive, helpful, compassionate and this was all departments of the inside not just care staff. They all made a difficult time so easy to cope with. You are all amazing.

Reply from Grainne Wokes, Home Manager at Hillside Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your very kind review and for all the lovely times we have spent with your and your dad. We miss seeing his beaming smile around the home as I am sure you do too. If there is anything you think we can support you with then please do not hesitate to get in touch with any of us. It was a pleasure getting to know you and the rest of your family.

I am only here for a short stay, possibly two weeks, prior to going to my home. My experiences to date have been exceptionally good with the staff so helpful and obliging. Hopefully, if my recuperation continues favourably I shall be okay to go home. However if things do not go to plan I would not hesitate to use your wonderful facility again.
