Funding & Fees

Weekly Charges per Person

Type of carePermanentRespite
Residential CareFrom £1,026N/A

At Hillside, the weekly fee can vary depending upon the type of room that an individual or their family chooses. A standard room for example, will incur weekly fees at the underlying Swansea Social Services Fee Rate, regardless of whether that individual is Privately funded or Social Services funded. We believe that this is a fairer and more equitable approach, as opposed to charging Privately funded individuals more.

I try to work in partnership with the staff and home in caring for my mother and I believe that this is reciprocated. I hope that we can continue to build on that partnership.

Review from Lance D (Son of Resident) published on 13 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has now been at Hillside Care Home for 2 months, she appears happy with the service provided and has made no complaints to me. The staff appear very understanding of the problems resulting from her dementia and inability to move without assistance. They also dealt with an outstanding medical problem my mother had when she first arrived very professionally. Overall the service provided appears excellent and I would recommend Hillside as a care provider.

Review from Helen T (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mother has been at Hillside since December 2016. The care she has received has been of an excellent standard by all staff members. They are all very approachable and helpful if I have any questions regarding my mother's care.
My mother's rooms us well decorated and very roomy. Also, the entertainment in the afternoons is very interesting.
The choice of food is very good and I know that my mother enjoys it.
Overall I think Hillside is a very good choice of care home and I know my mother is well looked after here.

We chose this on a recommendation from a friend and I will recommend it also.

Overall Experience
I came with my brother to Hillside Care Home hoping to admit him and I made such a good choice. My brother is happy here, they look after him wonderfully and the staff are very sweet.

The home itself is very lovely and also very clean.

Review from Eilyn J (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I cannot praise highly enough every aspect of Hillside Care Home.
Mum is 99 years old and has come here to spend her final days.
She is bedbound and needs constant nursing care.
She is treated with dignity and love.
The staff have an instinctive response to her needs and as a visitor, I am treated warmly.

All my questions are answered fully.

Overall Experience
I am just writing to thank all of the staff of Hillside for the care and attention which you gave to my late mother during her recent stay at Hillside Nursing Home, and all the support and compassion you gave to us as a family. We had our last Christmas dinner together as a family with mum in Hillside, thank you for making this happen. It was very special to us all to be able to be together on what was to be mums last proper meal. All of your staff were so kind and respectful would you please pass on our deepest thanks and best wishes to them all.
Even though you were busy with mum, we could also see the attention, support and kindness all of your residents were getting, day and night.

So once again thank you, and best wishes to all the staff at Hillside.
