Hillbeck Residential Care Home

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Our care home has WiFi in some of our residents’ rooms.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Our care home has mobile phone signal in some of our residents’ rooms.

Telephone for external calling

Our care home provides a telephone in some of our residents’ rooms.

Hillbeck is currently able to provide accommodation and high-quality care for sixty residents living with dementia. The majority of rooms have en-suite facilities and there are three twin rooms for couples or friends who wish to share. Some of our rooms have views of the grounds whilst others enjoy views of the countryside. All bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished, although clients are welcome to bring in small items of their own furnishings to personalise their rooms.

Along with the main communal areas, we have several large, bright lounges with televisions, where residents can enjoy their favourite programmes, participate in group activities or simply relax and enjoy the view from the windows, which overlook the beautiful grounds. There is ample seating for residents and their visitors in the communal areas but should clients require more privacy, they are welcome to entertain visitors in their rooms.

Hillbeck is blessed with a wealth of garden space, some of which is used as a large patio area where residents can sit and enjoy the good weather. We have a separate area with a large polytunnel where residents are encouraged to grow plants and vegetables.

Every member of staff at Hillbeck Care Home is trained in first aid, safe handling of food, moving & handling, fire awareness, best infection control practices and the specific skills needed to care for those living with dementia as well as completing many other relevant training courses on a regular basis. Our staff are dedicated professionals, committed to providing the highest level of care possible to all our residents.

We provide a seasonal menu at Hillbeck, with a choice of dishes for the 3 main meals a day, along with snacks and liquid refreshments in between meals. The menu is updated every 4 weeks and is focused on using fresh local produce. It is designed to provide a well-balanced, nutritional diet for our residents and all dishes are freshly cooked. Our menu's may vary slightly depending on the client's needs/likes

To help our residents make new social connections, as well as to promote physical and mental well-being, we encourage them to take part in the wide range of activities that we organise.
