About Hillsborough Residential Home

We are Hillsborough Residential Home in Callington, caring for older people, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We have tried to keep the feel of a house rather than an institution. People bring their own furniture and pictures, come down when they wake rather than when a rota says so, and spend their days as they please. Some like the sitting room and the conversation that goes with it, others prefer their own room with the radio on. Dementia care takes patience and it takes knowing the person. We spend time learning about the work somebody did, the family they raised and the routines that settle them. We do not argue about what year it is. We meet people where they are and find something good to do together. Where somebody has a visual or hearing impairment, we make sure every member of staff knows how that person prefers to be approached and spoken with. Small things, done consistently, make an enormous difference. We keep families informed and would rather ring early about a small worry. Visitors are welcome whenever suits them. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch to arrange a visit.
