Review from Barry B (Husband of Resident) published on 30 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife has been resident in the dementia unit of Highfield Nursing Home for 2 1/2 years every member of staff, through every discipline, has always been very supportive to both my wife and I. All staff are very conscientious in their work and look after my wife very well. All my interactions with the staff are excellent and the carers are always very attentive when dealing with my wife's needs. An excellent home with excellent staff.

Reply from Kim Haines, Regional Operations Manager at Highfield Nursing Home

Highfields a very happy place to be al, the staff do their very best to keep the residents as healthy and happy as possible considering why they are there. It doesn't matter how long they are there for i.e 6 weeks or in many cases many years,

Their mental state is also very well looked after with many activities, games, colouring, a lot of music which they can sing along with. Patients are brought along even if they cannot participate.

The whole place is perfect, just wondering if I can book my place? The staff are very attentive, making sure they have what they want and are supposed to have. Always clean, warm and tidy. Food is one of the best I have seen. Dinners are great, as are the other meals. There is always a nice atmosphere welcoming, and pleasant. Always something to do for the residents, which I help with,

Mum came to Highfield when I could no longer cope with her condition. The staff are truly exceptional at the home, nothing was too much trouble. The management staff on Mum's admittance were so kind during such a stressful time for us. Mum received excellent care from all the staff with such patience. I shall forever be indebted to the home for making it a positive experience

Overall Experience

Mum was at Highfield for such a short time. She had been discharged from hospital to Highfield where it was more than apparent that mum was actually palliative. The care she received was excellent. Every member of staff treated mum and her family with kindness, compassion and love. We are forever grateful that staff made mum's last weeks comfortable, peaceful and dignified.

Reply from Hayley Jeneson, Home Manager at Highfield Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, Mum made a big impact on us all at Highfield and will always be remembered. I am so glad we were able to support Mum and all of her lovely family in her final few weeks. Please continue to come in for coffee and cake. Best Wishes Home Manager and the team at Highfield

My sister says "excellent - Very highly recommend".

My sister is a new woman since she's been here. Her needs are being met beyond our expectations and we feel overwhelmed by it all. She is engaging in conversations and some activities. She says she's human now. Can't praise Highfield and all staff enough.

Review from Kerrie H (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My dad had dementia. He was in hospital with an infection and it became clear he wouldn't be able to return home. He didn't want to go into a care home so we described it to him as a posh hotel. From the very beginning everyone at Highfield welcomed not only dad but all of the family. He was only there for a short time but they looked after us all and it was lovely to be able to visit at any time and bring the dog with us. Tea and cake was always plentiful and the various lounges meant we could get him out of his room. During a very difficult time for us as a family the team of staff helped make it so much easier. We could relax knowing he was in safe hands.

Reply from Lindsay Mahoney, Hospitality & Wellbeing Manager at Highfield Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is heart warming to hear how welcome your dad and you as a family were made to feel at Highfield. Although your dad was only with us for a short time it is lovely to know that he enjoyed his time at Highfield and the team were supportive to you...

My father came into the home a few weeks ago, and from the initial meeting we were all welcomed into this very loving home. The staff go our of their way to care for every residents needs and are very attentive, not just to the residents medical needs, but to their happiness. The entertainment ladies are brilliant bringing lots of artists and entertainers to bring joy to the residents. They even took our dad to the theatre, and he had a very special time. Me and my family would like to thank all of Highfield Nursing Home a big thank you. Each and every one of you are second to none and you all deserve a massive applaud.

My husband had been in Highfield from April 2024 till December 2024. He had Lewy body dementia / Parkinson's and later cancer. I would like to thank the entire staff at Highfield who showed such care and kindness to both myself and my husband. Every single person has been truly amazing with what every job they have done and it has been much appreciated. Being in Highfield was like belonging to a big family.

Review from Lorraine W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Clean and warm with friendly staff. Worryingly service user smelt of urine on more than one occasion. His wardrobe now looks like a warzone, clothes shoved everywhere all messed up. Number of residents have fallen recently and is still going down.
Promised trips out in minibus don't seem to have materialised.
Lack of contact between home and relatives when things needed, service user was without socks for a period but we were not informed.

No sign of home manager for several weeks.

Reply from Lindsay Mahoney, Hospitality & Wellbeing Manager at Highfield Nursing Home

Since writing this review I believe a meeting has been held between yourselves and the new manager at Highfield where any concerns or questions you may have had have been discussed with a satisfactory outcome. Thank you for taking the time and please do not hesitate to contact the manager with any questions you may have in the future.

Review from Elizabeth M (Sister of Resident) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My brother was discharged from the hospital to Highfield on the 20th of January 2024.

Within days there was a marked improvement in the way he looked and he appeared happy and reasonably settled. He always looks clean-shaven and is very happy with the food and drink offered. Within days of requesting care for getting more mobile, having a haircut or attention to his feet, the job is done! It is such a relief to our family to see him cared for so well. A big 'thank you' to all concerned.

Reply from Nikki Clark, Hospitality & Wellbeing Lead at Highfield Nursing Home

We thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartwarming review. We are so glad your brother has settled at Highfield and is doing well. We are delighted that you are both happy with the care, food and facilities provided. It is a huge relief to know that your family is happy, and we are equally happy to be supporting your brother. I will be sure to share this review with our team.
