About Hillside Care Home

Hillside Care Home is a nursing home in Knowsley, on the edge of Liverpool. We care for people who need qualified nursing support alongside help with everyday life, with nursing staff on hand throughout the day and night so that changing health needs do not mean moving somewhere unfamiliar. We support older people, including many living with dementia, and people managing a mental health condition. The clinical work is done carefully, but it is rarely what families notice first. They notice whether staff know their relative, whether meals are worth sitting down to, whether the place feels calm and unhurried, and whether people are asked before things are done to them. For people living with dementia, we work from life history and familiar routine. Knowing someone's trade, their music, the names that still bring a response is practical knowledge, and it belongs to the whole team rather than to a folder. Respite care is available as well, giving family carers a planned break or supporting someone through a period of recovery after time in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Relatives are welcome here and we would always rather hear a concern early. Please get in touch if you would like to look around.
