Highbury New Park

I visited every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for approximately 2 1/2 years. In that time ALL the staff were kind, caring and approachable. They were always willing to listen, take on board anything said that would help make my friend's stay a happy time. The medical care was excellent. When the end was in sight we were kept informed of any change and all the extra care needed. When the end came it was the family etc that the staff cared for as well as the patient. Thank you does not seem enough, but thank you.

My experience of this nursing home is very good. My mother has been here for over two years. She is very happy and I am happy with the care she receives. The activities programme is good and Mum gets involved. My Mum's appetite is not great and the staff do try to get her to eat. Any small thing I have addressed straight away.

Everyone is very pleasant and what I can see is they are very nice with the residents.

Staff are really good with the residents. What I have seen they cope with some aggressive residents and are very calm in the situation.

I'm pleased with the management in keeping me informed about my uncle.

I was very happy with the care my sister received. The staff are excellent and there are no words to explain how pleased I was and thank them all. She was well cared for, for 2 years in this home.

The staff were so caring and attentive to her visitors there Monday afternoon, she passed away at 7.15pm with staff with her, they were fantastic.

My nan is happy, settled here, it's the best place she could ever be. There is always something going on, ice cream days, musical and theatre activities. I would even choose this care home for myself.

The staff were caring.

I would recommend this home and the care they give. Well managed and caring.

What a joyful experience coming here can be. Today we are having tea (old fashioned) and cake...I did ask for Champagne, they said next week. Always cheerful, helpful and friendly, lots of activities and things going on. It feels like a big family. I'm considering putting my name down should I ever need it. (Fingers crossed no!!!)

I think Highbury New Park is the best care home.

My mum is a resident in Highbury New Park. I find this home very caring and the carers work very hard with the elderly. They have so much patience. Sometimes the residents can get very demanding but they will try their best to help them. They also understand that my mother can be hard work at times due to Dementia/Alzheimer's illness but they always manage a smile. They also try to help you by saying don't worry she will be ok. Very reassuring so you can sleep at night. Don't know what myself and my sister would do without Highbury New Park (The Best).

I hadn't seen Aunty for a while and was so happy to see her looking so well and happy. She looked so obviously well cared for, hair was newly washed and styled, clothes tidy and clean, much more alert and able to concentrate on the conversation. Everyone in the home so friendly, home inviting and welcoming. It really felt like Aunty's "home" and I could tell she was safe and secure with all the staff.

Made a visit to the home with my mother, having visited another home in Islington, having been very disappointed. Visiting this home was so welcoming the staff were friendly and were happy to show us around. We are now on the waiting list and are happy to wait to ensure our mother has the best care staying in her local area.

My mum has previously tried another care home and all she tried to do was escape and we ended up taking her back out after 5 days. Since she has moved into Highbury New Park care home she is a lot happier and always wants to go back when we go out.
