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.

The staff are all very kind and caring to the residents and welcoming to the visitors. The home is really lovely and well kept and feels very homely. THe meals are excellent and there is always a good choice. The residents are encouraged to eat in the dining rooms but if not the meals are served in
their rooms. Visitors are offered meals and refreshments making it nice for both the residents and visitors. The activities are varied and very good.

I am absolutely thrilled with the home overall.
The staff looking after my mother are second to none. In just three weeks she has blossomed to her old self and is doing extremely well with the fabulous service she is receiving. She is 94 years old and I could not hope for her to be in a better place.
Simply awesome!

I spent a wonderful afternoon at Applewood. All the carers were very attentive and friendly with great energy. The entertainment was excellent, the food and drink were brought out frequently and varied with healthy options.
I felt that Mum was in a safe and secure environment. A special mention to
one of the carers, who was excellent - a professional with a passion for his work.

Highclere Care Home

My father moved in to Highclere in 2023 and stayed till the end over two years later.


I agree with a lot of the other positive reviews so won't repeat them but will say that I visited several local homes and think I made a good choice.


I think Highclere strikes a very good balance between keeping

the residents safe while respecting their dignity and freedoms - it can't always be easy to get it right but it helps that the management is very pragmatic.


Although Highclere is on a residential estate, it is not visible from the garden which has mature trees and a rural feel. Unlike some homes, the garden is always accessible to the residents - something my father took full advantage of.


It is not advertised but the canal is a 10 minute walk away & so during nice weather I could borrow a wheelchair and take my father to watch the boats, wildlife and adjacent sculptures - sometimes we took sandwiches.


I have some very happy memories of my father's time at Highclere.

I was reluctant to move into a care home even though my balance and mobility had become worse. I had been supported at home by carers twice a day but I was not seeing anyone apart from them and my family. The quality of my life was becoming poor.
My daughters heard about The Applewood being built
and broached the subject with me. I was very low at the time and agreed to come for a respite stay. I needn't have worried I was treated with kindness and respect all the time. I soon made the decision that I wanted to become a resident and my daughters agreed. The building and furnishings are of an exceptional standard and convey a feeling of comfort and luxury. I would recommend The Applewood to anyone. I look forward to ending my days here..

My mother needed full care and i.e. bedridden for several years, this covered the COVID period. Our family will be forever grateful for the gentle and loving care given by the staff. They became Mum's second family. Their skill and kindness was quite exceptional particularly at the final stages of her

As a family, we have nothing but praise and admiration for all the staff at Highclere. They are always so welcoming and the care they offer residents is second to none.
Communication between nurses and family is exceptional and very reassuring. They always make time to answer any questions.
Every
member of staff within the care home makes time to chat with residents and family, which is always much appreciated.


A range of events are celebrated and yesterday, the activity coordinators created a beautiful get together for Mother's Day. It was wonderful to see so many residents and families enjoying time together, in a beautifully decorated lounge, along with tea and pastries.
We can't thank staff enough for their hard work and dedication and would definitely recommend Highclere Care Home.

My grandparents have been at Applewood Home for a week, and have already called it their forever home. The staff have been amazing with them, patient and whilst promoting their independence, we can leave knowing that they are in safe hands. The home is phenomenal, modern whilst being homely. Great facilities
that we can't wait for them to use more and excited to see more activities in place.

The staff transformed my Aunties wellbeing during the time she was in their care, almost 2 years. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially if I was concerned about my Aunty. The communication, regular updates, and phone calls were reassuring. Living in Highclere was such a contrast from her
home environment. She blossomed! Her physical and mental state improved dramatically. Good nutritious food, excellent stimulating and fun activities, kindness and excellent nursing care. As I didn't live close enough to pop in. It was a comfort to know my Aunty was in such good hands.

Sadly my dad only spent a few days in the home before being admitted back into hospital where he passed away. I was sure that had my dad got better he would of been very happy and would have settled well there, as during my visits I was very happy with the staff and the general feeling around the place.

Having spent 6 weeks in hospital, I was concerned for the ongoing care of my mum. Her condition had vastly deteriorated and I felt she had been neglected. The care she received at Highclere Care Home was completely opposite. All the staff from the administrative nursing staff, cleaners and kitchen staff
showed my mum devoted care and consideration. They also took time to show kindness and consideration to all mum's relatives and friends. I cannot emphasise enough how pleased and thankful we all were with the care given to my mum at Highclere.

My grandmother came to Highclere just before her 100th birthday, she wasn't best pleased to be leaving her own home but needs must. The staff were all helpful, caring and friendly, whatever time we visited. Always happy to help and talk with us about concerns. In the end nanny adjusted and began to
enjoy activities, which she wished she had joined sooner. The lovely staff cared for her and our family till the end of her life.

My father was initially at Highclere for a temporary stay after being in hospital but decided to move in permanently after finding the care he was given was excellent. He never had a bad word to say about the home of the staff. On my visits I always found the staff to be very friendly and caring. My
father was looked after very well to the end of Highclere and I would thoroughly recommend it.

My mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer in the summer of 2023. In October she was no longer able to live at home and so moved into Highclere.
Sadly she died in early February but as a family, we feel so very lucky that she was able to spend her last days at Highclere. We have nothing but admiration
and gratitude for all the staff who cared for her as if she were a member of their own family.
We always felt Mum was receiving the best care possible – from the manager to the nurses and carers and everyone else. The staff were also extremely welcoming to us as a family as we became regular visitors. In fact, we have all said how much we're going to miss everyone there.
We also have the nurse to thank for calling us back in late one night when she saw Mum take a turn for the worse. Thanks to her we were able to be with Mum in her final hours.
Overall, we cannot thank the staff enough for how they treated Mum and us as a family. Really top class.

I can't speak highly enough of the staff. They went above and beyond when looking after my mum for her last few months of life. They got to know her, took time out of their busy schedules to talk to her, paint her nails and did everything they could to maintain her dignity and comfort at a difficult
time. Our family feels so lucky and grateful to have found Highclere.
