Highlands Care Home

from Mark A (Son of Resident) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother truly feels at home due to the care and attention given by the staff at Highlands. Her room is lovely with lots of natural light and a good amount of space. The food is exceptional, although the dining area could do with some extra lighting. The staff are friendly and genuine in their desire
to make my mother's stay as comfortable as possible.

Highlands Care Home

from Malcolm K (Son of Resident) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother became a resident of Highland House, a residential care home in November 2024 as she was not safe to be left living in her own house , due to minor T.I.A's and falling. We found the care home due to recommendations from a friend who had a relation living there in the recent past. We went to
view the home with my mother (who was very fastidious ) We were pleased to find that she could take her own furniture ,pictures etc and make the room her own personal space.
The staff at the home were caring, patient and friendly and did everything possible to make her stay a positive experience .Mum enjoyed the daily activities provided and the social meetings in the communal areas. She enjoyed the meals which were provided to an exceptionally high standard. Unfortunately, due to a fall she became less mobile during her last few months at the home. The care she received during this time was excellent.
I have nothing but praise for the care given to my mother (age 96).

I would like to commend the staff at Highlands for their utmost care in looking after my husband up to and including his final weeks. They were so supportive and went the extra mile willingly. Everything was done to make him comfortable. This was done not only for my husband but for us as a family
as well.


I would consider Highlands Care Home to be exemplary in every way and it goes without saying that I appreciate so much the care and kindness given. I would like to thank all the staff for their dedicated time and support.

Highlands Care Home

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has settled in well at Highlands thanks to the friendly and helpful staff and homely surroundings. We have joined her once for Sunday lunch at the home and the food was really tasty and all home-cooked. There are lovely grounds to walk in and the best view of the River Deben. We are
very happy that the residents are all very well looked after, safe and respected.
Reply from Kirsten Brooks, Home manager at Highlands Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave a review, Highlands has a home from home atmosphere, with caring, supportive staff and our wonderful home cooked food, hearing that our residents and their families are happy with the care and support they receive is wonderful to hear.

Highlands Care Home

from E M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been residing in Highlands for the last 7 months and we could not be happier. The staff provide an excellent and tailor made standard of care which is given with dignity and respect.
There is a lovely homely environment and the home cooked food is of a very high standard. Meals are provided
in the dining room which residents are encouraged to come to, providing a regular social time. There are activities throughout the week.
When my mother has been unwell she was well looked after with the GP or paramedics being called out promptly, if needed. There are also weekly visits from her GP surgery when she can be seen, if needed.
The gardens are great for a potter and to sit in when it's warmer, with a lovely unexpected view of the river.
All the above has had a major impact on my mothers mental and physical wellbeing. She was very reluctant to leave her own home and within a week, said she was very glad she did.
Reply from Kirsten Brooks, Home manager at Highlands Care HomeHighlands strives to be a home from home, with caring supportive staff, home cooked food and a relaxed happy environment. Thank you for such a lovely review.

Highlands Care Home

from N B (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Highlands is a generally very good facility, however when my mother moved in 5 years ago it was sold to us as a residential home, now it is very much a care home which means a lot of the staff's time is taken up with more time consuming duties leaving little "time/quality/compassionate time" for residents
who need less physical care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is very friendly and welcoming. It is very clean, the seating areas are lovely and bright with books and a lovely fish tank to help relaxation. The staff are so lovely and kind and the food appears excellent judging by the menus and smells from the kitchen. The gardens are magnificent with
river views and lots of seating areas. There is also a lovely pond at the front of the home.
Reply from Johanna Edmeades, Manager at Highlands Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you found Highlands to be welcoming and comfortable. We take great pride in maintaining a clean and inviting space, and it's wonderful that the seating areas, fish tank, and gardens stood out to you. Our team works hard to provide excellent service, and we're glad to know you enjoyed the atmosphere. The river views and pond are truly special, and we're happy you could experience that beauty. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you

My sister and myself knew as soon as we walked into this home it was the right one for our 101 year old mother (after seeing many before). Mum has settled in and is comfortable with all staff, as we found them to be caring, understanding, kind and professional in all their duties. If any matter needs
attention it is dealt with quickly and efficiently.

My father has been at Highlands Care Home for a number of years. He is comfortable and cared for but still able to maintain some of his own independence which is very important to him. High standards of care, cleanliness and support are clearly maintained. The food choice is excellent and flexible to
individual preferences (within reason). I have been very happy with the people who care at Highlands - there is stability which leads to a better knowledge of individual residents likes/dislikes - I have got to know several of the carers reasonably well and without exception they are lovely.

My father spent the final three years of his life at Highlands. He was well cared for, especially during the difficult pandemic times. The home is both warm and welcoming, and the care staff are of the highest order. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Highlands Care Home

from Anne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had three falls in 24-hours and ended up in hospital. We realised she could no longer live alone. She was registered with Highlands and they responded quickly saying she could come straight from the hospital. She did actually go home for three days, with help, so we could pack. On arrival
at Highlands, the staff were so kind, gentle and efficient. I, obviously, could not go in but their respite room was on the ground floor so we could talk through the window. Later she moved to a lovely larger room and we were allowed in to set it up for her with her belongings. The facilities provided were excellent, she particularly enjoyed the Scrabble club. The last two weeks of her life were not easy but I was allowed in daily and even my husband once to say goodbye. She recognised him which was wonderful. They rang my brother to suggest he might like to come. The staff could not have done more for her. They were also very supportive to relatives giving as much time as was needed to answer questions. I cannot speak more highly of Highlands. Mother was very lucky to have been there.
Reply from Suzanne Brammer, Digital Marketing Officer at Highlands Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave a review, Anne; we really appreciate your kind comments and are pleased that your mother received such good care at Highlands Care Home.

Highlands Care Home

from Denzil S (Son of Resident) published on 3 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Highlands is a very friendly and caring residential home. Limiting the number of residents to 20 ensures a very personal service, giving peace of mind all around. Communication is excellent and family can rest assured that their loved ones are in good hands. Importantly too, it represents good value
in terms of fees, with resources being well managed as a not for profit organisation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was looked after so well by everyone at Highlands, all the staff are local people many have worked there for years and their children as well. They can't do enough. We didn't know what to expect but it exceeded all our expectations. Beautiful gardens to enjoy, great food and all the residents
are great company, especially over Sunday lunch. Nothing nicer than sitting in the conservatory having tea and homemade cakes with my mother and other residents. Lots of activities - book club, manicures, gardening, music, films, games. There's just a really nice atmosphere there. Lovely private rooms and nothing too much trouble for the staff. Our family can highly recommend Highlands to anyone thinking about residential care.

Highlands Care Home

from Richard M (Son of Resident) published on 3 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lived here for 2-3 years after a stroke left her wheelchair-bound at the age of 92. All her needs were taken care of in a professional friendly manner. She had a light airy room with space for her personal furniture items.
The staff were consistently polite and attentive to her and us
as her family. They managed to give her last years, from an active lady to being wheelchair-bound, a great sense of dignity. We were able to visit at most times of the day, the tea-time cakes being a particular favourite of my sister's, and no friend to the diet conscious.
My mother was impressed with the loyalty of the staff, some working well into retirement age. I don't claim to know scores of other care homes to compare Highlands with, but I am completely confident that this home ranks as one of the best, not least for location, staff, food and commitment.

from Catherine (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother arrived at Highlands and was immediately welcomed into the home with warmth, care and enthusiasm. Highlands has a cosy family atmosphere, but most importantly the staff are the best thing about it. They all give exceptional attention and sensitivity to all the residents and my Mum would love
to chat with them, their humour and laughter brightening the dullest of days.
The meals are wonderful and I did start to time my arrival at tea time, so we could chat over the tea and cakes on offer! My Mother would always say how lucky she was that they had a room for her, and how fortunate she was to have on offer the gardens and far-reaching views of the Deben.
Reply from Suzanne Brammer, Digital Marketing Officer at Highlands Care HomeThank you for such a lovely review, we are pleased to hear how happy you are with Highlands and the level of care your mother received here.
