Hillsborough is a small care home that has provided hospital level care to the local community for more than 30 years.
Our experienced, dedicated staff are always willing to go the extra mile. We provide professional nursing care, backed by committed support staff, and we all ensure that Hillsborough is a loving home for you.
Our Care Home is situated in an elevated position, offering panoramic views from our open-plan living area, and from several residents’ rooms. The majority of our rooms are of a generous size, and most offer convenient en-suites.
Really knowing each resident is the key to making the best of life. We work closely with family and friends to understand each person, so that we can build trusting relationships. Your likes, dislikes, interests and personal history give us common ground, helping us to understand what you need.
We are proud to announce that Hillsborough Hospital has achieved Ministry of Health certification for a 4 year period from August 2017, the highest standard.
We would be delighted to have the opportunity to talk with you about our care. Please phone Franie Fulgueras, our Care Home Manager, or feel free to drop in at any time.
