About
Hill House Nursing Home is a family-run home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, with 29 registered beds. It provides nursing, dementia and respite care. The Lee family has been involved in caring for older people for over 50 years, and the home is run today by Alison Lee, the daughter of the founder. The building opened in 2011, with large atriums that bring in natural light, and its interior includes more than 400 pieces of art, wall murals and a library. All staff are permanently employed, and the home sets a staff-to-resident ratio of 1:3½. Short stays are available, and a day centre is designed for people in the early stages of dementia.
