Hill Homes are known throughout the whole of the country as
an excellent pioneering effort in the provision of residential accommodation
for old people who are unable to care for themselves in
their own home. 264 beds are now provided in 8 homes, the latest
of which is "Goldsmith's" in Denewood Road, where there is provision
for 30 beds. This home is named after the company which provided
£52,000 to build and equip the home on land made available by the
King Edward's Hospital Fund. The weekly charges vary from £4.4s.6d.
at Stanhope Lodge to £6.13s.3d. at Trees, and £10 at Goldsmith's.
As far as permits single rooms are provided but is has been found
that the very frail are better in small wards.
The British Red Cross Society has two homes - Kenwin Lodge,
an old people's home, and Grove Lodge, a half-way house, a home
for elderly people, men and women no longer in need of hospital
treatment but not yet fit to go home. Patients are admitted from
St. Michael's Hospital, Chase Farm, and are recommended by the
doctors there.
