About Longhill House Care Home

Longhill House Care Home is in Hull, and we support a wider range of people than many residential homes. Older people who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia. Adults living with mental ill health. Younger adults. Respite stays are available too, planned or at short notice. A mixed household only works when people are treated as individuals rather than as groups, and that is how we try to run things. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as circumstances move. Some residents need a great deal of practical help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want a settled place to live, company when they choose it, and a household that holds steady through a hard week. For residents living with dementia we keep the daily rhythm and surroundings familiar and give people time rather than hurrying them along. For those living with mental ill health, what we offer most is reliability and an absence of drama. We should be honest about our position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have gone through what was raised with our team, and those areas are where our effort is concentrated at present. We would far rather tell you ourselves and then show you the place as it is. Anyone considering Longhill House is welcome to visit on an ordinary day and ask us anything.
