About Hill House
Hill House is a care home in Birmingham. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people managing a mental health condition, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Stability is the main thing we try to offer. Many of the people who come here have moved between placements more often than anyone should, and each move undoes work that took months to build. So we plan on the basis that people are staying, we do not treat a difficult week as grounds for reconsidering, and we are careful not to promise what we cannot sustain. Living here is meant to be ordinary. People have their own rooms and routines, come and go, use the city and make their own decisions, including some we might not have chosen for them. Where somebody is working towards independent living, we put real effort behind it rather than recording it as an aim and moving on. Communication takes the most work. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they tell us things, and we treat behaviour as information rather than as a difficulty to be managed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a placement here, please visit and ask us the questions that matter to you.
