Care Homes Owned by HC-One - The Kind Care Company in Buckinghamshire

My mum was lucky enough to spend her last years at Highclere where she received love and care in abundance. She tried new things, painting and crafts she had never done. She was entertained and her days were filled, not sitting alone in a chair. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mum has said that she would happily come back to The Applewood as a resident in the future. She must have enjoyed it!

Applewood Care Home is a wonderfully equipped with such caring staff who work so hard to make residents and vistors truly cared for and welcome. Virtually impossible to find any negativity to this wonderful community facility. Big thank you!

My 102 year old mother has been a resident at HighClere Care Home for 8 weeks and has settled in well. The staff are very kind, caring, friendly and efficient, and go the "extra mile" when needed. Health problems and general problems are sorted very quickly. The home is clean and well maintained. My mother had a very poor appetite on arrival at the home, but due to the excellent catering provided, she is enjoying her food again. I am blessed that Mum is living in a safe and caring environment, and I feel I now have an extended family.

The staff at Highclere are absolutely excellent. They were so loving and caring. They took the time to really understand my mum and dad, so they knew how to react to them and how to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. The fact that the staff have been there for many years shows that it is a great place to work, and the stability of staff makes for a happier time for residents.

The care and kindness shown to residence is brilliant. The food is excellent and the home is beautifully kept and the cleanlinest is first class. The activities and entertainment are very varied and enjoyed by all. Trips to the home from local groups are very much appreciated and always coming up with new ideas. Any complaints or queries are dealt with immediately and relatives and residents are well informed with regular meetings.

Absolutely fabulous home. Everyone very nice and helpful. I can't complain, we are more than satisfied. Lovely staff who are always there to help.

My Mum has been at Highclere for over 5 years now and is so well cared for and happy there I would recommend to anyone. The staff are all brilliant and very kind and caring and I feel so grateful to have found Highclere for my Mum when she needed it.

Overall, a good experience. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for somewhere to place a relative.

The staff are so friendly and kind and do a fantastic job caring for all the residents. Sadly my mum has severe dementia but I can see she is really well looked after by. Professional and caring team. Thank you so much!

I was @ Applewood for my respite after my knee surgery. It was the best decision I made for myself, as I live on my own and haven't got any available support around me. The pampering at Applewood is off the chart. Staff are so caring, its almost overwhelming! I absolutely loved being here, I know where to go when I need this in future. Will also recommend it to friendly and family.

Àn excellent care home with staff that care for their residents. An activity programme for the week is packed with things to do or you can sit in your room or one of their lovely lounges. There is always someone around staff are eager to help. Food is fantastic and they even serve wine with meals if you want it. The bistro is a great place to hang out either with an activity or just for a coffee with your loved one. My father in law has been there for respite but now wants to stay permanently it's such a great place to be meeting all of his needs. Thank you

Mum was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's and needed nursing care. Highclere Care Home was great at meeting all her needs. Staff and management very attentive and caring, approachable and easy to talk to. All at Highclere were great in Mum's last months.

As a frequent visitor to Highclere, I have only good things to say about the staff, their level of care and the way the home is managed. It is the best care home that I have visited, and I have heard similar comments from others.

Only good things happen at Applewood.

My husband has been a resident here since July 2025. It was a hard decision for him to come into F.T care but because of his declining health was necessary. I cannot speak highly enough of his care. In every respect his needs are met. Thank you to all at Applewood.

My sister and I want to sincerely thank the entire team at Applewood for everything they do to care for our Mum and the other lovely residents.

Highclere is a lovely place for mum to live. The nursing, care and admin staff are so friendly and helpful. The relationship the nursing team has with the local GP practice makes medical care seem less. There are a good range of inteteresting activities and everything is arranged thoughtfully with the care of the residents in mind. The lounge feels more like a small hotel than a care home. The food seems very good and snacks snd drinks are served regularly. I'm very impressed!

We absolutely love this place and couldn't ask for more. Absolutely lovely and supportive staff. Beautiful surroundings and lots of activities. Dad says highly efficient and place nice and bright. Nothing is too much problem. Would definately recommend. I can leave my dad knowing he is well cared for and safe. Thank you very much.

Thank you for being there for us all.
