INTRODUCTION

Hillview is a Registered Nursing Home, providing specialised care for persons suffering from dementia or mental health problems, under constant supervision of trained staff. The home is also accredited by Somerset Social Services as ‘Quality Rated‘, after undergoing a rigourous appraisal and audit process.

Hillview is a long established home which originally opened as a residential home and became registered to cater for the needs of mentally infirm residents over 10 years ago. It is approximately one mile from the town centre.

The accommodation at Hillview includes 32 single and 4 double bedrooms all of which are light and airy. All bedrooms have wash basin facilities, a television aerial point, nurse call, multiple electric sockets, a mirror and bedside light.

Hillview has 3 lounges. The main lounge is well equipped and very spacious and is also use for residents activities, entertainment and social gatherings. The other lounges are smaller and more peaceful and are sometimes used for private meetings with friends and relatives.

The environment at Hillview is informal and the care structured to individual needs. Meals are prepared on the premises by our catering staff who follow a menu of fresh home cooking with special diets being catered for.
