Review from Anne A (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The level of care and dedication that my dad received whilst in Highfield was excellent. Very kind carers all of whom cared for my dad with dignity and thought.


After my dad died the carers were there to comfort us and support us. I would certainly recommend this care home to everybody. Thank you

for the love and care that was shown to my dad.

Review from Christine P (Friend of Resident) published on 10 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were impressed from first coming through the front door, a very welcoming bright and fresh entrance hall, tables in the dining room were very well laid out like a good class restaurant. We walked by the kitchen which also looked immaculate.


Our friend's room was clean and pleasant with an outlook

on to the patio and garden. Very light and airy. The staff we met were very friendly and cheerful. Our friend's meal arrived just as we were about to leave. It smelt and looked delicious.


We were pleasantly surprised by the overall good quality of this care home.

Review from Janis S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a frequent visitor (usually 3-4 times weekly) to Highfield, I have seen consistently excellent standards of warmth and empathy - i.e. real caring. Since my mother entered the home in May 2015, the staff have gone out of their way to engage with her, listen to her, and address her needs and wants.
Even late at night, on the occasion I returned my mother to Highfield from hospital, we were welcomed with the sort of warmth and cheerfulness you would expect from a family. There appears to be a slow rate of staff turnover. This is very important for my mother, who is rather shy with new people. It also suggests good levels of job satisfaction. Many of the core qualities of Highfield will not lead to boxes being ticked during CQC inspections. But to my mind, they are far more important than the processes and protocols that determine the CQC rating. I would certainly recommend Highfield to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.680)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.680) out of 10 for Highfield House Care 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.680 for Highfield House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.68
  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 House Care Home is based on 15 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 15 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.
