Although I live in America, I’ve been able to visit my mother twice in the last year while she has been a resident of Hill House, staying nearby and visiting her daily for a week each time. I was extremely impressed with the whole atmosphere of the home, from the welcoming and caring staff to the wonderful
activities provided every day for the residents. My siblings visit our mother regularly, and I’m often able to have a video visit with them. They also share with me health updates and the fun activity newsletters. Being so far away, it is extremely comforting to know that my mother is in such competent and caring hands.

My mother has been a resident since August 2022 and Hill House has proven itself to be a wonderful home for her. Hill House does not employ agency staff - all staff are employed directly and as a result work as a cohesive team, they all know Mum well and she knows and trusts them. The entertainment
for residents is fabulous - there is never a dull moment, and the team make sure every resident feels included and special. As a family, we cannot fault Hill House and feel very lucky to have found it.

The staff of Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home are always friendly, polite and professional. They treat Dad with respect at all times ensuring he has choices and is supported in his decision making. He is encouraged to join in activities which are always varied and fun but when Dad wants to be in
his room staff ensure that he has things to keep him occupied and regularly check on him.
Dad is happy at Hill House where he feels safe, has a routine for him and is well cared for by a designated team whom he trusts.
As relatives, we are kept informed of Dad's care and invited to contribute towards care planning. We are always made to feel welcome and an important part of Dad's life.
There are regular relatives meetings including via video call so everyone has a chance to be kept informed and to be part of wider discussions.

Reply from Claire Heslington, PA/Administrator at Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is a real pleasure to have your dad in our home, he is a true gentleman. He is so popular with all the staff and residents and we are really glad he is so happy here.

As another review put it so eloquently, moving a parent into a care home is difficult and emotional, especially if dementia is involved. Our father was fiercely independent and very resistant to any type of care. It became unsafe to keep him at home and the move was traumatic because he went into Hill
House in the middle of a lockdown.
The staff at Hill House are consistent and all are warm and friendly. They really care about their residents and have lots of experience. They do all the personal care jobs and continue to smile, difficult as these jobs must be. My father became quite rude and fought off help, but with time he mellowed and now he says that 'the care is very good'. He has been at Hill House for three years. The nurses and day-to-day staff are all really kind and the food is excellent. My father now spends most of his time asleep and he does not participate in activities but he would not have wanted to anyway. The staff call and update us all the time. We visit every week.

Reply from Claire Heslington, PA/Administrator at Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, they are always appreciated and the staff like to read them. Consistency of care is very important to us and is the main reason we never use agency staff. I'm so glad your father has settled in with us, we are very pleased to have him.

Moving a loved one into a home is emotional and difficult. 15-months down the line, our journey is still ongoing, we can honestly say Hill House has helped to ease the pain. Our mother is in an environment where she feels respected, safe and “at home”.
One of the reasons we chose Hill House is the
consistency of staff and without exception, the same care team has looked after our mother from her arrival. This has given her, and us, a sense of continuity, and seamless communication with nursing and admin staff.
We visit often and witness the daily running of Hill House. It is always buzzing! The wonderfully creative activities team keeps everyone engaged. And, although our mother was frail, and resistant to ‘joining in,’ she was always made to feel a part of the community.
My three siblings and I are so glad we found Hill House. It has given us peace of mind, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a home where your loved ones will feel safe, nurtured and understood.

Reply from Claire Heslington, PA/Administrator at Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It is lovely to read that your mother feels safe and so well looked after, our staff really do go above and beyond for our residents and their families, we are very proud of them.

My lovely dad went to Hill House for almost a month's respite care subsequent to a fall at home and was cared for superbly. In an extreme state of frailty, he was treated with kindness, respect and outstanding communication. My dad spent a period in hospital prior to his respite and Hill House went
out of their way to ensure he was assessed and picked up from the hospital setting as soon as he could be discharged. Pain from a broken shoulder injury was managed extremely well and all staff with whom I came into contact were compassionate, knowledgeable about his condition and most importantly genuinely kind. I would not hesitate to recommend Hill House to any potential relative or service user for peace of mind and outstanding care for your loved ones. Thank you to everyone without exception.

Hill House has been a godsend for us after caring for our 90-year-old mother for a year, we finally decided that we were not able to keep her well and looked for full-time nursing care. Hill House is a clean safe stable environment with attentive and patient staff who genuinely care about their patients.

My mother has been a resident for just over a year. Our experience has been that the facilities are excellent and the staff are kind, professional, and very committed to providing the best possible care. There always seems to be something happening at Hill House with wide-ranging activities which seem
both stimulating and entertaining. We have been particularly impressed with the high level of communication. As well as the regular excellent pictorial newsletter we receive a monthly 'personal' update and emails from the nursing staff whenever there is something to report. We really value this high level of communication.
We have always found whoever we have come into contact with in whatever role to be friendly, kind, and patient. I would certainly highly recommend Hill House - the staff are brilliant.

Mum has been a resident since last year and I'm very happy with the care she receives, her behaviour can be quite challenging at times but the staff always seem to find ways to reassure her, the GP visits on a regular basis and we're always kept informed about any changes with Mum via email, there are
various activities which Mum doesn't always take part in but she's happy to sit and watch, I can always leave Mum after a visit safe in the knowledge that she is being well looked after.

My father has been at Hill House for nearly two years and I continue to be amazed by the wonderful care he receives from every single member of staff. Over his time at the home he has been coaxed into joining in with the wonderful activities that are organised by the incredible activity team and has
been on trips out with them which really makes his day as his mobility is an issue so without them he would not be able to venture out as it would be too much for me to take him out alone. I cannot recommend this nursing home enough as the staff are superstars.

Whenever I visit my mum at Hill House there is always a warm welcome from the reception staff and all the care staff. They know who I am and who I am there to see and that attention to detail is reflected in the care that I see for Mum. Despite Mum's condition meaning that she can be challenging they
always treat her with utmost respect at all times and the patience shown is fantastic. The personal care that she receives is really good, she'd never had her nails done before she moved into Hill House! Although she is confused as to where she is it's a great relief to all the family that she is now in a safe, caring environment as her condition starts to deteriorate.

The Hill House team continues to care for my mum with kindness and great compassion. Her needs are met from laundry to toileting and always with a smile. Alzheimer's makes caring challenging, but the staff always do their best. We are kept informed by email/telephone of any issues and any concerns
are dealt with swiftly. A full activity calendar is provided but not all of these are suitable for Mum due to her condition but she will watch and likes being nosey. She has developed a mean sense of humour lately which seems to keep everyone amused. We have attended BBQs, competitions and most recently were fortunate enough to be with Mum when a ballet class visited. It was a true delight and the interaction we had with Mum was priceless. We are always made to feel welcome and the reception staff always greet you with a smile. The menus are varied and Mum particularly enjoys the puddings and Mum's room is always clean and tidy.

Hill House continues to offer kindness and care to my mum. Her needs are met, and the staff work hard. Alzheimer's makes caring challenging at times, and the carers at Hill House always do their best. There is always a jam-packed activity calendar, but not all of these are suitable for our mum due to
her condition, but the activities staff will always visit Mum's lounge area during the course of the day. We are always made to feel welcome and are encouraged to take part in the friends and relatives events. Most recently, a dance school has been an absolute joy, and to see the happiness on Mum's face was priceless. The menus are good, and Mum always enjoys her food.

Mum has been in Hill House since April 2022 and is very settled there. The staff are kind, attentive and they know her and her little foibles very well. She is exceptionally well cared for. She is safe, comfortable and has her favourite biscuits beside her! The continuity of staff is a major factor
in her contentment and now masks are no longer required she is able to talk with them (lip reading) despite being very deaf. Hill House is spotlessly clean; the food is very good and the whole place smells fresh on every visit. We are kept up to date with frequent emails and are always able to chat with management and nursing/care staff at any time. Hill House is a welcoming, happy, caring environment. We are so pleased we found such a lovely, friendly place for Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 74 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 74 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.877 for Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home is calculated as follows: ( (768 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 862 Ratings = 4.877

  • b) 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 Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home is based on 74 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 74 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
