Daily Life at Hillside Care Home, Sudbury
Keeping Things Personal
The comfortable surroundings at our care home in Suffolk are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We’ll always endeavour to learn as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.
We love to encourage independence at Hillside, giving individuals the choice as to how the home is run. If they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even to dust their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love. Nothing is too much trouble at Hillside Care Home.
We consistently apply infection control procedures and services that meet or exceed the requirements and expectations of our customers.
