Meet The Manager
Tracey Morris is Home Manager at The Hillings.
“The staff at The Hillings are caring and compassionate about providing good care and being a voice for the residents when they need one. We are all very dedicated to the home and the residents here - we treat residents as one big family.”
The Hillings is a purpose built residential home in Eaton Socon, Cambridgeshire, comprising of a number of attractive wings arranged around well stocked courtyard gardens. The home accommodates residents requiring both residential and dementia care. The individual bedrooms are spacious and well-furnished although we encourage residents to bring items of their furniture and possessions with them, so that they can create a true ‘home from home’. Every wing has a large lounge and dining area where residents meet to socialise and share meals.
In a quiet residential area, The Hillings is easy to find for visitors and guests yet tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac where rest and relaxation are guaranteed. Surrounding the home is an area of lawn where residents can walk or, during good weather, sit under the shade of the trees. The courtyard gardens are stocked with colourful shrubs and plants that give year round interest, particularly to those that have a love of gardening, making it one of the most attractive residential homes in Cambridgeshire.
