Review from Dawn M (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care & support my dad has been given at Highbury is second to none. My dad has settled in nicely, mainly due to the hard work and determination of the staff.
Highbury is always clean & the food served to my dad is always freshly cooked.
I can sleep easy at night knowing my dad is being well
looked after.

My mother has been in Highbury for 3 weeks now and we are very satisfied with the care and attention that she has received so far. The manager is very concerned that the home gives the very best service. The staff are all friendly and my mother says that overall she is very satisfied. If things continue
like this we will all be very happy and would recommend this home to anyone.

Highbury has a relaxed but caring atmosphere nothing seems too much trouble for the staff and managers. I have been very impressed by the personal touches added to the care. The home is thoughtfully decorated and this adds to the overall ambiance of the surroundings. I feel very lucky that my parents
were able to gain places at Highbury.

Review from Jon G (Son of Resident) published on 19 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum spent six weeks in Highbury following her discharge from hospital. The home provided first-class respite care as she continued her recovery from ill health until she was ready to return home. What I observed during my mum’s stay was the care and compassion shown towards her and fellow residents
by every staff member. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were excellently led by the manager.
Reply from Jennifer Sheehy, Manager at Highbury Residential Home

It was a pleasure to look after your mum and we were thrilled she recovered enough to go home. Thank you for your kind words.

Review from Dawn B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 26 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Highbury Residential Home has looked after and cared for my nan to a very high standard, the staff are always friendly to residents and visiting family members. My nan has often said that she feels well looked after which puts our minds at rest that she is settled and happy at Highbury. The recent redecoration
of the communal areas really brightens the place up and the garden is also looking great for residents to enjoy. The visiting entertainers (bands, keyboard players etc) are also lovely touch for the residents to enjoy. I would have no hesitation to recommend Highbury Residential Home to others.

Dawn thank you for your lovely comments. We are very lucky to have a great care team and very supportive families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has Alzheimer's, however, she knows me by sight and loves to sing along to 70s/80s songs on my visits. She seems at home and settled most times, still says she's got to go home to her mum on most visits but is very well looked after and seems happy in her surroundings.
Reply from Jennifer Sheehy, Manager at Highbury Residential Home

Thank you for this lovely review. Your wife is a delight to look after and she always has a smile on her face when we tell her you are coming for a visit.

Review from Lydia P (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have both my mum and an aunty who live at Highbury. I cannot fault the care and attention they have received. The staff are brilliant, I have got to know them quite well as I have been visiting for about 3 years now. They are very friendly, always make you welcome, love you to visit and always have
a chat and update you with any concerns.
I know things are a little different at the moment but normally I see the residents enjoying light exercise classes, crafts and singing. They have their fingernails painted and hair and feet done regularly.
The food looks lovely and I see the rooms being cleaned regularly.
I couldn't wish for them to be in a better place.

Review from Nina B (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum had to move into Highbury at the end of August as her health was deteriorating. She had lived with us for several years and it was a hard decision to make.
We chose Highbury as it seemed very "home" like and not overcrowded. The staff were brilliant, always made you feel welcome when you visited
and nothing was too much trouble.
The food was really good and I ate there some days myself. The home always looked clean. We could take mums personal items for her bedroom.
It didn't matter what time we turned up to visit or when we wanted to take mum out everyone was always helpful.
They have a lovely garden and if they are able residents can go out whenever they want to.
Mum had her hair done once a week in the home and there were a couple of parties for Halloween and Christmas.
Although mum passed away just before Christmas its a shame she never got to see the garden in summer.
If I had to choose a home again I would still choose Highbury.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.202)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.202) out of 10 for Highbury Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 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 4.776 for Highbury Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.776
  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 4.426 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highbury Residential Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.926
  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.
