About Hillview Care Home
Hillview Care Home is a care home in Ware, Hertfordshire. We provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We would rather say that here than leave a family to discover it, and we would encourage anybody considering us to visit and judge the home on what they see rather than on what we write. What we are building is a place where the day belongs to the residents. People get up when they want, eat what they want and spend their time where they choose. Rooms belong to the people in them, with their own furniture and pictures, and relatives call in when it suits them rather than when a timetable allows. For people living with dementia, our starting point is who the person has been. A working life, a family, a routine held for decades. That history usually explains far more about how somebody is now than anything in a medical file. Please come and look round, and take your time over the decision.
