About Hillside Care Home
Hillside Care Home is a residential home in Sudbury, supporting older adults and some younger adults, with permanent places and respite stays both available. We are a home for people who need help with everyday life rather than nursing care, and we try to keep the emphasis on life. That means residents choosing how they spend their time, keeping up with friends and family, having a say in what happens in the house, and being supported to do things for themselves wherever they can. Doing something for someone is often quicker. It is not usually better. A number of our residents live with dementia. We work on the basis that behaviour which seems difficult is nearly always communication of some kind, whether that is pain, confusion, boredom or fear, and that the answer starts with understanding the person rather than managing the moment. Familiar faces, a steady routine and time to respond do most of the work. Respite guests are welcomed properly rather than parked. A short stay is often someone's first experience of a care home, and we would like it to be a reassuring one. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at homes in the Sudbury area, please come and see us. Turn up and have a look around, ask the residents what they think, and judge for yourself.
