There are many factors that lead residents and visitors alike to experience Hillside as such a warm, welcoming and well-designed home.

There’s the purpose-built accommodation with its 68 private single bedrooms with en suite facilities, and there’s the full activities schedule for those who wish to take part - the home has not one, but two Activity Co-ordinators. But above all, there are the dedicated staff members who combine professionalism with a real interest in each individual – offering the person-centred care that lies at the heart of MHA’s values.

Mealtimes, for example, are special at Hillside – tables are laid and dressed attractively, and care is taken to make sure dining is uninterrupted and unhurried, with everyone receiving all the additional care they might require. For special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, expect mealtimes to become appropriate celebrations!

Here, individuals are encouraged to express themselves. Staff members take the time and care to get to know each resident, talking to them and their families about their likes and dislikes and personal backgrounds and stories. Residents also enjoy trips out and visiting entertainment, including musicians and singers.

In every respect, MHA works hard to support older people to live meaningful lives, responding to physical and spiritual needs alike. The patio deck catches the sun on bright days and is surrounded by shrubbery, while the hairdressing salon lets residents take pride in their appearance. We are also committed to nurturing spiritual as well as mental and physical well-being, and our Chaplain offers pastoral support to all at Hillside, whatever their beliefs.

In these and countless other small ways, we help nurture the well-being of all our residents, continuously encouraging fulfilling relationships and positive experiences.

Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
