About this support setting

Thoughtfully designed for independent living

Hillside is a charming and homely bungalow situated in the attractive Derbyshire market town of Ilkeston. It delivers residential care and support to adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.

Our support is always delivered with the person in mind. We do not operate a one-size-fits-all all policy. Everyone is different, and we develop specific support plans to give the best possible support for each person. One example of our person-centred approach is the installation of a hot tub, which was purchased by a person we support and installed at the home for their own therapeutic use.

Our door is always open, and we encourage family involvement at the home. We like to develop relationships with relatives who play an important part in making life for those we support as rich and fulfilling as possible. Our experienced and committed team work hard to deliver the highest standard of care and support for everyone, including families.

What we offer

A safe and supportive place

Inside the home, the bedrooms are decorated in accordance with the personal choices of people we support and reflect their personalities.

There are good-sized communal areas, including a well-furnished lounge and dining area, which are complemented externally by the large and attractive garden equipped with a patio, decking, and raised sensory garden boxes that enable people to tend their own fruit and vegetables.

We’re not just participants. We’re planners, presenters, and leaders.

Lifestyle

Activities are an important part of the day at Hillside and are geared to the interests and preferences of those we support. There are a wide variety of events and trips out, including outings to the coast, cinema, bowling, and theatre.

Hillside also organises trips to a neighbouring home in Ilkeston, Churchview, so that people can take part in a variety of sensory experiences utilising their sensory room, which is equipped with a large vibrating ball pool. We hold sensory cooking and taste sessions, which help to promote independence skills and choice.

We also encourage people to enjoy an annual holiday, and this forms an important part of the care and support that we provide. We want everyone to enjoy a holiday that is personal to them and reflects their likes and dislikes as much as possible.
