About Hill House
We at Hill House are proud to offer a warm, welcoming residential care home in the heart of Exeter, providing compassionate older person care alongside support for younger adults across our Devon community. Our home has been thoughtfully created to feel just that, a home, where every resident is known, valued, and cared for as an individual. Set within the historic city of Exeter in the beautiful South West, our location offers residents the comfort of a familiar Devon setting whilst remaining well connected for visiting family and friends. The surrounding area provides a peaceful backdrop to daily life, and we work hard to ensure our internal environment reflects that same sense of calm, comfort, and homeliness. From shared lounges where conversations flow naturally to quieter corners for reflection, our spaces are designed to support both companionship and privacy. Our specialisms in residential care, older person care, and support for younger adults mean we are equipped to welcome a diverse community of residents, each with their own story, preferences, and needs. In practice, this means our team takes the time to truly understand every person who joins us, building care plans around individual routines, interests, and aspirations rather than applying a one size fits all approach. For families, this brings the reassurance of knowing your loved one is being supported in a way that honours who they are. Whether someone needs gentle assistance with daily living, companionship through later life, or more structured support as a younger adult, we adapt our approach with kindness and respect. We are pleased to share that the Care Quality Commission rated us Good overall at our most recent inspection in August 2022, with Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains. The Well-led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we have taken this feedback seriously, using it as an opportunity to strengthen our leadership and governance so that the high standards experienced day to day by our residents are matched by the systems that support them. We believe transparency matters, and we welcome conversations about how we continue to grow and improve. If you are exploring care options for someone you love, we understand this is a deeply personal decision and one that often comes with many questions. We warmly invite you to get in touch, visit us, and see for yourself the atmosphere and community we have built at Hill House. Our door is always open, and we would be honoured to walk alongside you as you find the right next chapter for your family.
