Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home is a purpose built, 56-bedroom home, committed to the highest standards of care and service, within a friendly and happy family run home. The home is rated Outstanding in caring and Good Overall by CQC (April 2022).

The aim is to provide the highest level of care in a dignified and compassionate way, with the best facilities and equipment in a comfortable home with trained experienced staff. There is a full and diverse activities programme for the residents put on throughout the home, providing many opportunities to socialise, participate and pursue their own interests. Outside there are beautiful, landscaped gardens and courtyards planted with year-round colour which are accessed by level, flat paths.

Qualified nurses and trained carers try and improve the quality of life for those who have chosen to live at the home. The approach is not one routine fits all, but rather a more personal care plan that makes allowances for the individuals' needs and concerns. The residents are at the centre of the home helping to create the Chef's menu's and choosing the activities programme. Everyone at Hill House wants the residents to be well cared for, happy and enjoy living at Hill House.

My sister and I did some research into care providers and homes 18 months ago, we decided that Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home was outstanding and an excellent place for Mum to spend her twilight years. Unfortunately, things changed quickly for us, and we needed somewhere for Mum to spend her last
days. Hill House pulled out all the stops and found her a fantastic room, Covid rules were followed we felt safe, the staff were kind, caring professional and helpful. I cannot express our gratitude enough, the place, the staff and the atmosphere here are fantastic. Thank you all so much for helping us when we needed it most.

My nan suffers from dementia and after having a stroke moved to Hill House. She receives excellent care and the staff are all so kind to her. The daily activities keep Nan entertained and her brain working. She always comments on the lovely meals she has had. I would highly recommend Hill House for

I was very impressed by the care, consideration and respect shown to me and my mum during Mum's short stay at this nursing home. It was very important to me and my family that Mum's last days were comfortable and dignified, this nursing home enabled this and even during these challenging times of Covid
we were able to visit safely. I was asked if I was okay for staff to pray with and for her as Mum and I are Christians, I found this extremely comforting as I'm sure did Mum. My wishes to be with her when she died and to help prepare her body were carried out and I did not feel rushed or anxious. I would like to thank the staff from the bottom of my heart.

The fracture of a hip in November started a downward spiral for our mother. Despite her determination to remain at home, she finally agreed she would be safer in a nursing home and would welcome contact with other people.
My sister and I feel very fortunate to have found Hill House, where the whole
team have been very professional, welcoming and understanding. It hasn't been the easiest of times settling someone into a new environment amid Covid rules, but the team have been sensitive of everyone's needs and we have had regular meetings to discuss her care.
We feel confident and reassured that she is receiving excellent care in a safe environment. We have been very impressed with the activities programme, even though we know that our mother is probably not yet interested. Everyone has greeted us with a smile and has ensured that requests for visits have been met.
We look forward to when we can visit in her room, have a meal with her and see at first hand the facilities of the home.

My Nan is a resident at Hill House and it is wonderful I can visit her inside the home as all the residents and all the staff have been vaccinated. It’s lovely to be able to hold her hand once again and to be able to see what is going on inside the home. There are so many activities going on all the
time and my Nan loves it-especially the dominoes, cookery club and the quizzes. My Nan is very well cared for and she feels that Hill House is her home now.

My wife's increasing dementia and urinary problems meant care at home was no longer possible. The home care has been very good - considering the virus situation and the limitations placed on them. The management has reacted very positively to the situation - acquiring 'the pod' etc and getting staff
vaccinated promptly.

My brother in law has been in Hill House for six years and we could not wish for a more caring home. So when I became unable to care for my husband, Hill House was the obvious choice. Sadly he recently passed away and the care he was given at the end of his life was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble
for the dedicated staff. When I can no longer care for myself, I won't hesitate to let them care for me.

Following a period of illness and subsequent stay in hospital, my father was unable to return home and so was transferred to Hill House where he is now a resident.
My family feel extremely fortunate that a space was available to him, as, having been a visitor to the Day Centre in recent years, we know
the residence well and know what a wonderful place it is.
The facilities are superb but it is the attitude and dedication of the whole team of staff which makes it so special. Everyone is so caring and committed to giving the residents the best possible quality of life, which is especially comforting when your loved one is suffering from dementia. We feel totally confident and reassured that Dad is receiving the best possible care and really couldn't ask for anything more.
Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work!

My grandfather has been a resident at Hill House for over 2.5 years. Before covid the home was fantastic, it always made me feel welcome and I enjoyed regularly visiting my grandfather. Now during covid, everyone at the home has kept me in contact with him through Skype, Zoom calls and regular updates
via email and have made a real effort with allowing safe visiting via gazebo visits with heaters. It's really reassuring to know my grandfather is happy and cared for at Hill House.

I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful team of staff at Hill House. My dad has received the highest level of care since becoming a resident at the beginning of November this year. Not only is the care exceptional but the whole ethos within the home in providing such care with genuine kindness,
dignity, warmth and compassion is constant. The home is beautifully maintained both inside and out and feels homely, cosy and safe which is so important to us as a family. Most of all my dad is very settled and happy there which is the best feeling for all the family. Thank you so much to everyone that works so hard at Hill House.

My mum had suffered from dementia which was compounded by a stroke. We moved her to Hill House where she was placed in the Separate Specialist Dementia Care Unit, otherwise known as Garden View. The staff to resident ratio is good but most importantly they are lovely people and very attentive. She felt
at home there and when we visited we felt at home too. The staff are always welcoming and it's like a small community. The activities team have a theme each week with plenty of resident participation if that's what they like. We were sent regular photos from the activities team showing her enjoying herself in many activities.

I am so impressed with how the care home has dealt with keeping all the residents safe during the Covid outbreak. I am able to speak to my dad (who has dementia) via Skype with the help of a member of staff who sits with my dad and helps Dad with the session. It has been lovely to be able to at least
see Dad visually and speak to him even if it hasn't been face-to-face. They have installed systems so that we can now visit Dad in a safe way. Dad always seems so well and happy and the staff are all so friendly and caring to Dad. It's lovely to be able to know Dad is well looked after, stimulated, safe and happy. A massive thank you to everyone who cares for my dad and all the other residents. p.s. I do miss the homemade cakes! (The care home is always so very clean).

My dad was so happy in Hill House. He was always treated as an honoured, respected member of the family. My Mum and I were also made to feel very welcome whenever we visited. There was no guilt associated with "putting Dad into a home" because he got the best possible care, was treated with dignity

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) 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 68 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 68 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 4.860 for Hill House Nursing and Dementia Home is calculated as follows: ( (698 Excellents x 5) + (84 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 795 Ratings = 4.86

  • 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 68 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 68 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.
