Hill House is a relatively small and community Nursing Home. My father was there 18 months with Parkinson's until the end. The overall quality of care was excellent. Medical support and personal care is exemplary. The staff were kind and gentle. The social side was well run. Running a home such as Hillhouse is a tough business in getting and retaining staff and Carol the manager is doing an excellent job. Dusan on the medical side equally. So after 18 months of experience I would mark it 5 stars.
Thank you for the lovely review. It was a priviledge to look after your father. I will feed back the review to the team
Every member of the team from domestics, care staff, nurses and activities were second to none. Every care was taken to make sure she was comfortable and happy in her stay, she made friends and contributed to some of the activities in the group

I never expected to be in care for this length of time. I am trying to deal with this as best as I can. My loss of mobility and independence is difficult to come to terms with. The staff at Hill House help keep me focused and included in their group.

She was looked after with great care, dignity and compassion. Mum took a couple of days to adjust to her surroundings but did so and commented just how kind and caring all the staff were. She was washed and changed daily, had her hair looking nice and even her nails painted which brought a smile to her face.
We only wish we had taken her to Hill House earlier than we did.
Thank you so much for taking the time at such a sad time and for your lovely reviiew, I am so glad that the extraordinary EOL care that my team delivers enabled Ann and yourselves to experience a good death. I will share this with the team.

After suffering a stroke, my father was afraid to go home. He wanted to go to Hill House because he knew he would be safe and well cared for there. His late wife, my mother, received excellent care during the last years of her life at Hill House, and he quality of life was greatly improved. Once again, Hill House provided excellent care for my father. My family and I are extremely grateful. Hill House feels like home away from home, and the staff feel like an extended family. They are kind, caring, and welcoming. Thanks to all at Hill House for the amazing work that you do!
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words, we feel as a team absolutely priviledged to care for your father as we did your mother. I will share your review with the team.
My experience of Hill House Nursing Home was a very pleasant one. Very clean and tidy and well cared for residents. Staff all very nice and cheerful. Seems to me to be a very well-run nursing home, giving the older people a well cared for and pleasant life in their old age.

I came to visit my nan - Shirley. Her personal care was done with dignity, immaculately clean and dressed. Julie made us welcome, her and Holly very professional and make the residents feel special and truly loved. Lovely to see the memory books, special touches with decor (autumnal/Halloween), soft furnishings. Drinks/snacks plentiful & offered regularly. Daily activities/entertainment to a very high standard. Extremely clean throughout communal areas & Nan's bedroom. Safety is second to non - very important with residents. Beautiful outside area/enclosed for security. Our minds are at ease knowing Nan is well looked after. Thank you all.

My mum arrived for a rest and decided to stay permanent. The care is good and nothing is too much trouble. Just sometimes looks under staffed.
