Review from Robert A (Brother of Resident) published on 14 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We have now attended several 'get-togethers' including Xmas staff + residents - business meetings, garden partys and most recently my sisters birthday celebration. All of these occasions have been so well carried-out. The organization 'impressive', the food/refreshments excellent. My sisters recent birthday, I can only describe as 'lovingly done'. Her room decorated with bunting, a lovely little get-together in the lounge, and a most spectacular birthday cake (with candles) freshly baked that morning. I know that because I asked the cook while thanking her. Your staff are all to be congratulated on their friendly/personal attitude to their work. It amazes me that so many, from top management down, all seem to greet my sister by her first name. Great, keep up the good work. That 'work' is so valuable to society.

Review from Roona D (Mother of Resident) published on 7 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother stayed at Hill House for 3 weeks whilst she was recovering from a total knee replacement. She was very comfortable there, it is a clean, welcoming environment, and the staff were very helpful. Tanja, the manager, addressed any concerns we had, and was a pleasure to communicate with throughout my mother's stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hill House.

Overall Experience

My mum stayed here for approx 6 weeks, and the care has been amazing. I could not fault the care, and the carers were always so happy and helpful and constantly willing to help. The nurses are so friendly and you can tell that they genuinly care. We need to move Mum closer to us, but if I could move Hill House nearer, I would. The facilities could do with improvement, but the care is the most important thing and was excellent.

Review from George C (Resident / Service User) published on 9 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been a resident for four years. It has been taken over recently by DMP Health Care from the previous organisation. Very little has changed other than extra Nurses and Carers being employed. The staff remain excellent as before. My only real complaint is the new Management. Other than a residents/ family meeting some months ago, when they introduced themselves. There has been no further contact. Minutes of that meeting were taken together, including their contact details. Attendees were told that they would receive a copy of the minutes of the meeting, which would be included in a 'Package'. Despite two requests, nothing has been given. When the previous organisation had the home, the manager and his deputy would quite often walk around the home and speak to residents. I am very mobile, being able to move around the home, but I never see the current managers

Reply from Lucian Balog, Operations Manager at Hill House Care Home
Thank you for your feedback and for your kind comments about the staff.
We apologise for the delay in sharing the meeting minutes. This was due to the recent transition and the administrative team prioritising key operational tasks. We expect this to now settle.

Very pleasant buildings. Room is pleasant. Staff are excellent whereall make a huge effort to make sure resident (my father) is spoken to like a human being and treated with the utmost respect. Staff got to realise his likes and dislikes very quickly and now he loves staying in this care home.

The entertainment team are very proactive and ensure residents take part. Especially Inga.

Review from James V (Son of Resident) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been living at this care home following a stroke that left her unable to walk, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care she has received.

From the moment she arrived, the staff treated her with genuine kindness, patience, and dignity. Adjusting to life after such a life-changing event is incredibly difficult, but the team here made the transition as smooth and reassuring as possible for both my mother and our family. They are consistently attentive, compassionate, and professional, and it is clear that they truly care about the wellbeing of the residents.

The support my mother receives with her mobility and daily needs is handled with great sensitivity and respect. The staff always take the time to ensure she is comfortable, safe, and included in daily life at the home. It is reassuring to know she is surrounded by people who are not only skilled at what they do, but who also treat her as an individual rather than just a resident.

Review from L G (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 1 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have had some previous experiences of care homes and had some anxiety when the family started discussing that my mother in law was in need of additional care and that care homes would be looked at.

But I can not express how staff have supported this move and taken so much stress and worry over the family. My mother in law has not left her own home for several years and the only socialisation was with members of the family.

The staff at the home see to all her needs and have accommodated to her needs to allow a settling in period and have had her out of her room taking part in activities.

It has allowed the family to step back and look after themselves. Whilst also getting to bring back their relationships to just son and daughters.

We can not thank all the staff enough knowing she is getting all the care she needs as well as getting back some semblance of social life

Review from Ian I (Son of Resident) published on 15 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mum has resided at Hill House for over a year now, and has recently been joined by my Dad.
The care they have shown both my parents is outstanding and cant be faulted.
They have been patient whilst my dad adjusts to being there and they have handled him extremely well.
The meals look lovely and they have both said how much they enjoy them.
As my Mum and Dad are bed bound they are kept clean everyday multiple times per day and are treated with dignity and respect
Their rooms are a fair size and we have furnished so them so that they feel more at home.
the garden views are fantastic and well maintained and hopefully in the warmer months we can get them out into the fresh air.
There is so much for them to do but unfortunately are limited due to there ability to get out of bed, however the entertainment team do go in and visit for a chat or to do some painting with my Mum, they have even taken a little dog in to see her, which she loved.

I cant fault Hill house or staff 5*

Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough of the care my mother in law received at Hill House from the show around until her passing. The management were always on hand and so helpful with any bridges we had to cross. Her nurse was amazing as were the primary carers. She was always treated with dignity and respect often under difficult circumstances. We are so grateful that she was in such safe hands during her last 8 months.

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Hill House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we are saddened to hear about your loss. It is so wonderful to hear that your Mother In Law was treated with such respect and dignity during her stay and hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

Overall Experience

My mother was in Hill House Care Home for the last 8 months of her life, and I cannot speak high enough of the care, attention, and respect that she received from the management to the care, and the respect that was always shown to her sometimes under trying circumstances. I always felt that even at 95 she was extremely safe and secure and this meant everything to me. I would recommend the home without any hesitation to any family facing the same circumstances.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Hill House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear words like "Safe" and "Secure" being used to describe our care. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

Hill House has been my home for 15 months. In that time my experience has been excellent. The staff are knowledgeable and extremely caring. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The facilities in the home are also excellent and there are a multitude of activities available. The medical help is wide-ranging and comprehensive. In short my time here has been extremely positive.
