- Visiting
-
Friends and family members able to visit at any time providing it is the wish of the resident. There's no locks on any door that provides access to the general public. All Hillbrow House asks is that the Visitor's Book is signed on arrival and on leaving and lets a member of staff know a visitor is in the building. This enables Hillbrow House to comply with Fire Regulations.
Hillbrow House encourage all residents to be in charge of personal daily routine and, therefore, each resident can decide when guests visit.
Refreshment facilities available to all regular visitors to use whenever visiting. Meals can be provided given 24 hours notice. There is a separate room that can be used for family gatherings, meals and parties.
**COVID-19 Please contact the home during the Coronavirus pandemic as visiting restrictions are currently in place to protect residents and staff. There is a Visitors pod which gives the visitor access to an enclosed space within the Home from the garden. The resident sits comfortably in the garden lounge and both can see and talk to each other without there being a risk that may come from breathing the same air. (As per Government guidelines for Care Homes) This area, on both sides of the screens are disinfected after each visit.
- Parking
