Staff are friendly and helpful, if I have a question. They are caring towards residents and very patient. Rooms are a little dated and small but always spotlessly clean. Staff are proactive with health issues. If I ask about something, for example, a new rash, they are always aware and have had it looked
at by a GP.

All the team are very supportive and friendly to residents and family. My father has been well looked after and his physical health has improved since arriving at Highfield Private Rest Home. It's really helped having the activities schedule back, it's reignited his love of singing and football!

My mother has been a resident at Highfield Care Home for four years now. We were so fortunate to find this home at the height of the Covid pandemic and the care she has received has always been exceptionally good. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to anyone.

I visited my father-in-law today. Highfield Private Rest Home organised a garden party with music and singers, very good!
As well, the party food and drinks were excellent and of very good choice and quality. Not only residents but also family members enjoyed it all. Went to my father-in-law's room
was very tidy and everything was where he needed it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My elderly mother joined Highfield in June 2019 when she was no longer able to live on her own and needed constant care. All the staff made her feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. They were strict with Covid restrictions and we were able to visit once we had tested negative. My mother passed
away in Highfield on June 27th 2021 when she was 97-years-old. We had been with her all day but she was very frail and passed away due to old age. The home was so helpful to us and had purchased special equipment to make Mum more comfortable as she became more frail. We were allowed to visit her at any time. The rooms are all well maintained, bright and welcoming. The staff all friendly and welcoming. They all take time to find out about the family and my grandchildren liked to visit Great Nana. I would recommend this home.

Review from Suzanne S (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In 2011 my parents joined the Highfield family. From day one, they received excellent care, were happy, always treated with dignity, respect and their different interests were accommodated. The rapport between them and every staff member was extremely special to all of us. Dad was diabetic but received
a balanced diet of nutritious home-cooked food - even suitable Birthday cakes! Over time his mobility became extremely poor, so he needed a lot of help but was never made to feel a burden. Mum died in 2015, but Dad remained a resident until March 2020 when at 91, his time came. As with Mum, the compassion, professionalism, and palliative care shown by everyone at this time were outstanding. Realising that I could no longer look after my parents as both needed full-time residential care was hard to accept. I am so pleased I chose Highfield and after nearly 9-years, I too will miss their friendship. Highfield is the ideal residential home which I shall continue to recommend. Thank you all.

Our father was in Highfield until he was moved to a specialist dementia home. The care that Highfield showed with Dad was amazing. They did their best to accommodate his needs and kept the family informed at all times. For our family, this is the best care home in the Hythe area. We have experience
of other care homes in the area which are not as good. We highly recommend this home. The manager is amazing.

Review from Roy B (Son of Resident) published on 8 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum had a short stay at Highfield in September 2018. She thoroughly enjoyed her time there. The staff are wonderful and the food was very good. Mum's en-suite room was light, spotlessly clean and offered her excellent privacy when she wanted it. She enjoyed the reminiscence sessions and the socialization
available.
Also great was that dogs are allowed with visitors and our two were very much welcomed by staff and residents alike. Mum's physical and emotional wellbeing improved whilst at the home and the staff were able to take on the management of her medication for me. The home staff kept me informed about things I needed to now but actually, I felt very secure leaving Mum's care in their hands for a couple of weeks.
What was especially nice was the time they took to greet Mum on arrival and get to know her. That made a big difference.

I have a very pleasant room. I find all the staff whatever job they do very helpful and pleasant. The food is very good.
I'm sure as they must love their jobs they so such as the carers otherwise they wouldn't go into the job. It needs a lot of hard work and patience.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Highfield Private Rest Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.678 for Highfield Private Rest Home is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.678
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highfield Private Rest Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
