Enter and View Hillcroft - July 2025

Report - 14 November 2025

Hillcroft is a registered social care home for men and women over the age of 50 with a learning disability and associated needs.
We were shown around by the manager of the home, with some input from the deputy manager. We were able to speak to another staff member and meet one of the individuals living at Hillcroft. Three staff members completed our staff questionnaire. A family member of one of the people also completed the friends and family questionnaire.

Following the visit to Hillcroft we have made the following recommendations:

  • Explore ways to identify the families that would like more frequent or personal updates on their family member. Work together with the families and individuals to ensure that everyone is happy with the level of communication provided.
  • Continue to improve relationships and communication with the local hospital to ensure individual’s needs are met.

Enter and View Ashmount - April 2025

Ashmount is a 6 bed home for men with moderate to severe learning disability and autism. We visited Ashmount in March 2025 and spoke to family members to get their impressions of the service, both face to face and also using a survey that was emailed to the families who were happy for communication that way. We had feedback from 2 parents. No one living at Ashmount had capacity to speak to us and none of them communicated verbally.
