to go when I need this in future. Will also recommend it to friendly and family.

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

My mum got to know each one by name, and they took the trouble to chat and spend time with her. They accommodated her meal preferences and, as she declined in mobility, treated her with dignity.
Nothing beats your own home, but my mum seemed content at Highclere and thought of it as home. In her last days, the staff were particularly attentive to her increasing needs. They did their very best to look after her and ensure that she was comfortable.
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.

featuring quality furniture and fixtures, and in addition, Mum says, "the food served at meal times is very, very good."
The main purpose of this review is to show our appreciation for the staff at Applewood. They are incredibly attentive, and nothing ever seems too much trouble for them, despite their long and often demanding shifts.
Staff at Applewood always maintain and display a positive and supportive attitude, showing genuine care for the residents and ensuring their needs are met with kindness and compassion.
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.

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!

and safe. Thank you very much.

their rooms. Visitors are offered meals and refreshments making it nice for both the residents and visitors. The activities are varied and very good.

Simply awesome!

one of the carers, who was excellent - a professional with a passion for his work.

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.

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..

life. Thank you all.

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.

that we can't wait for them to use more and excited to see more activities in place.

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.
