About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 2 November 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Hillside Care Home accommodates up to 119 people who require personal and nursing care. The service provides accommodation in four separate units over two floors. At the time of the inspection there were 72 people using the service.

What inspectors found

An assessment of people's needs was completed, and the outcomes were used to develop their care plan. Care plans clearly set out people's needs and how they wished them to be met.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People's health and wellbeing was monitored in line with their care plan and staff responded promptly to any changes. Prompt referrals were made to external health and social care professionals where this was required for people.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

Staff were inducted into their role and received ongoing training and support they needed to carry out their role effectively.

People were treated with kindness and their privacy, dignity and independence was respected and promoted. People were involved in decisions about their care and their views and opinions were obtained through regular care reviews and general discussions. Relevant others were involved where this was appropriate.

People received the support they needed to communicate effectively, and they were provided with information in a way they could understand.

The providers complaints procedure was made available to everyone and complaints were listened to and used to improve the quality of the service.
