About Hill House Nursing Home

We are Hill House Nursing Home in Brixham, Torbay. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we take respite stays as well as permanent residents. Because qualified nurses are here at every hour, a change in somebody's health is noticed by people who already know them and acted on without delay. It also means a resident does not have to move when their condition becomes more complicated, and that care at the end of life can be given here, among familiar faces. Where dementia and a sensory impairment occur together, we check the simple explanation before the complicated one. A hearing aid that has stopped working accounts for a great deal that otherwise gets recorded as confusion. For residents with a physical disability the practical details matter most: enough time that a transfer is unhurried, equipment set up as it should be, and asking the person how they prefer it managed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
