About Hill Brow

Hill Brow is a residential care home in Farnham, Hampshire, providing a home for older people who need support with daily living. We care for residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for people who need care for a shorter period. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us outstanding overall. We are proud of that, and we treat it as a snapshot rather than a guarantee, so we carry on looking for the small improvements that make daily life better. What sits behind it is not complicated. Residents decide when they get up, how they spend their days and what they eat. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered, down to how somebody takes their tea. There is company and activity for those who enjoy it and no pressure at all on anyone who would rather have peace. Our dementia care rests on knowing people. We ask families to tell us about a person's life, their work, their music and their habits, because that knowledge is what allows staff to offer comfort that genuinely comforts. Familiar faces, calm surroundings and an unhurried pace do most of the work. We work closely with local GPs and community nurses, and relatives are welcome whenever it suits them. Please come and see the home for yourself.
