At Hilton Lodge we work closely with our three local GP practices at Newton Port Surgery and also with specialist Psychiatric and Community Mental Health Teams to ensure our residents physical and mental health needs are met thus ensuring positive outcomes as residents needs and conditions change. We work closely with our preferred Chemist and they also assist us in ensuring training needs are met and we are following Best Practice in ordering, storing and administration of medication by our registered nurses.
All of the above has evolved since Hilton Lodge Private Nursing Home opened in 1984. Residents are consulted on any changes affecting their wellbeing, particularly the making of rules or regulations that may influence their environment and activities.
