Celebrating Long Service at Hill Care 💜

At last week’s Managers’ Conference, we were proud to recognise some of our incredible colleagues for their dedication and commitment to Hill Care — with long-service awards presented to team members who have achieved over 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years of service.

Each of these individuals has played a vital role in shaping the caring, supportive culture that defines our homes. Their loyalty and hard work continue to make a real difference to the lives of our residents, their families, and fellow colleagues every single day.

We will soon be rolling out our long-service recognition across all Hill Care employees, so every member of our team can be celebrated for their valued contribution.

A huge thank you to all our long-serving colleagues — your commitment and compassion truly embody what Hill Care stands for. 🌟

This week, our Home Managers, Regional Managers and Directors came together for our Hill Care Managers’ Conference — held at The Gables Care Home and Aden Court Care Home.

The sessions were an opportunity to share our vision for the future of Hill Care — ensuring we continue to deliver the highest standards of care in an ever-changing marketplace.

From quality and care to training, legislation, finance and marketing, every aspect of running our homes was discussed with open collaboration and feedback from our managers — the people who live and breathe care every day.

It was fantastic to connect, share ideas and strengthen our shared commitment to providing the very best for our residents, families and teams. 💜
