It is such a relief to know they are now in a clean, safe, environment.
Staff and Manager are welcoming when we visit and always available for a chat & update.
I have a little dog (their granddaughter) and the Home allow her to accompany us on visits.
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We are delighted that your Mum and Dad are enjoying life at Highcroft and taking part in our activities and outings. It is wonderful to hear that you feel reassured knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Thank you for your continued support.
My dad moved here from hospital about five weeks ago and we've been really happy with the care provided by the team. The staff are lovely, very experienced, and genuinely care about the residents. They look after all his medical needs and even take him to hospital appointments, which is a huge help. There are activities every day and they also take residents on trips out which is amazing. We're so grateful for everything the care team do.
Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that you have been pleased with the care and support provided by our team. It is wonderful to know that our staff's dedication, compassion, and commitment to meeting your dad's needs have made a positive...
My Aunt first moved to HighCroft Care Home in October 2025 when my Uncle passed away unexpectedly. HighCroft staff were welcoming, they reassured my Aunt and us as a family that she would be looked after. In the following months after visits to HighCroft Care Home and social media posts we could see she had settled in her new home. Smiling, enjoying days out, visits to the cinema, the local community hub as well as all the activities within the HighCroft setting, including flower arranging and Easter eggs for all the residents at Easter. We were on holiday earlier in the year and wouldn't be able to see my Aunt on her birthday, we sent presents and cards to HighCroft for her and asked if these could be passed onto her. We then received videos and photos while on holiday of my Aunt on her birthday opening her presents, which was so nice to see. She even had a personalised birthday cake made by the staff. I genuinely could not have asked for better people to be caring for my Aunt.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review. It has been a privilege to support your aunt, and we are delighted to see her enjoying life at Highcroft, building new friendships, and taking part in so many meaningful activities. Your kind words are truly appreciated and will be shared...
Overall, I would say that all the staff are dedicated to providing the highest level of care to the residents.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. Your lovely comments mean a great deal to us. We truly appreciate your continued trust and support over the past five years.
Staff are friendly, conscientious and helpful. I note that his bedding is changed on a very regular basis, he is eating well and staff ensure he is hydrated and active. He is clean shaven, has regular haircuts and visits from medical professionals. Highcroft was chosen partly because it is close to where we live which means we can visit regularly.
Residents are encouraged to visit the library and local community centre. There are lots of wonderful Christmas activities planned including a pantomime visit that we will encourage dad to take part is. Our relief at seeing him so well looked after is considerable. We're grateful to the wonderful team for all they do.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear about your father-in-law's positive transformation and that you feel reassured knowing he is safe and well cared for. Our team works hard to provide compassionate, person-centred support, and your kind words mean a great deal.
We truly appreciate your trust and thank you again from the whole Highcroft team.
The owners are also friendly and approachable and interact with families and service users when special events are put on.
My Aunt is always clean and well maintained, and her needs are being fully met from what I can see.
Thank you so much Debbie for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted that you're happy with the care and support your aunt receives. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us all at Highcroft Care Home.
Highcroft care home. My mother was admitted to this home in July. We have found the staff to be extremely helpful, empathetic and knowledgeable. My mum has advanced dementia and needs constant care, with this she is treated respect, dignity and has settled in very well. I would highly recommend this home, if you have to be in the unfortunate position to but a family member in a facility such as this.
Thank you very much, Rita, for taking the time to share your kind words. We're so pleased that your mother has settled in well and that you've found our team to be caring, respectful, and supportive. Your recommendation truly means a great deal to all of us at Highcroft Care Home.
The home is clean and the garden is well maintained.
It's very difficult when loved ones have to go into care however, Tosin and the staff offer the reassurance needed.
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust in us. It's truly a privilege to care for your aunt and to be part of her journey over the years. We're delighted that you feel supported and reassured by the team. Your feedback means a great deal to all of us. Thank you once again!
My dad has been at Highcroft for a month now and the care he's received has been transformational. The staff have been so welcoming and caring, and have not only looked after him brilliantly but also supported me so kindly, offering empathy and practical support in this difficult time while we're coming to terms with dad's dementia. Tosin and the whole team at Highcroft are lovely - they make every effort to get to know each resident's needs, preferences, likes and dislikes and bring everyone into the fold, making them their favourite snacks, getting them involved in activities and social interaction. It's been so good for my dad - he'd not been looking after himself and it's so wonderful to see him with nice trimmed hair and clean shaven, looking as dapper as he used to! THANK YOU HIGHCROFT!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful review. We're absolutely thrilled that your dad's experience at Highcroft has been so positive. Your kind words truly mean the world to us and it's moments like these that remind us why we do what we do.Thank you once again for taking the time to share...

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased our team's care and professionalism have made a positive difference.
We have been made welcome and the communication with medical professionals is seamless.

The staff have supported my mum with different activities and short trips, which my mum enjoys and gives her time to go out.
The staff have always made my mum feel comfortable. She has great rapport with them. It's lovely to see my mum have a good laugh.
Her health and mobility has improved. When my family and I call and/or visit, they always inform us about how she is and any important information on her general health.
I am so proud of my mum and I can't thank Highcroft Care home enough.

It's a pleasure caring for your mum. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave Highcroft such a lovely review, it means a lot to all of the team!
I am very pleased with the care that is given to my relative, she seems a lot happier in herself and has put weight on. The staff are very friendly and she gets on with them all. She is able to communicate with the other residents and enjoys the constant company.
We really appreciate you taking the time to rate us. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Mum has been a resident here since July 2023. She appears to have settled really well and have observed her mixing with other residents. Her eating and sleep patterns also seem to have improved. Staff at the home are welcoming and friendly and seem to be supporting Mother appropriately. I would definitely recommend the unit to others.
We appreciate your feedback and for recommending our services to others. The resident's health and well-being are our top priority, and we are committed to getting it right for them all the time!
We, as a family, are very pleased with the care home, staff are exceptionally very good, and I can’t praise them enough for always making us very welcome, and Mum is very happy here. When Mum moved in, she was very scared of what to expect, but the staff and management made her very at ease and happy.
We are thrilled to hear you are pleased with the way we support your mum, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your views.
