Excellent care and attention is given to all residents by friendly and dedicated staff. Rooms are kept neat and tidy and the food is served punctually and to a good standard. Extra activities such as "sing a longs" keep the residents happy and occupied. In general, my mother appears to be happy and well looked after and I would recommend this care home to anybody who is in the same portions.

The home is welcoming, the staff are helpful, cheerful and it has a lovely homely feeling.
The residents always look well cared for and clean. No nasty smells. No one wants to end up in a care home but if you did, this would be the one I would choose for myself.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Highfield for the care of your loved one. Having looked at many care homes for my parents-in-law, Highfield immediately appealed to us because of its relaxed and homely feel. My father-in-law was here for eighteen months and my mother-in-law has been at Highfield for several years now, and we have been very happy with the genuine care, love and respect shown to them by the staff.
On every visit you can see how caring everybody is and, as a family, we always feel welcome to visit and to get involved in events. We are very grateful to Highfield for all their hard work and dedication, and we feel lucky to have been able to place our family members there. Thank you!

I was recently in England to visit my Mum who has been in your care home Highfield (Bekesbourne) now for almost two years. We couldn't wish for her to be in a more serene and lovely place. The staff are just wonderful, so very friendly from the moment we entered to when we left, my Mum is being treated so well by all the team there. She enjoys all the activities especially the singing and the music man on a Tuesday. We are very lucky to have her there. The food looks and smells delicious and my Mum enjoys it. Thanks to all the cooks and kitchen staff, they do a wonderful job, as do all the staff. Wishing you all the very best and thank you all for taking such good care of my Mum. Hello to all the residents I met and to all the staff. Keep up your good work.
Many thanks, best wishes and kind regards to you all.

The standard of care is exceptionally high and residents are treated well and as individuals. As much dignity as possible is afforded to residents and my father has improved in his wellbeing since living there. Above all, the staff are truly fantastic, from the housekeeping, food, staff, nurses and entertainment coordinator, everyone has a positive, friendly and caring nature.
I am extremely impressed by all the staff and grateful to them all.

From the start of my wife's residence, I was impressed by the kindness and attention to both residents and their visitors. Since her admittance last August, I have sat with her daily because I wanted to be with her (we have been married 65 years) and I did not want her to feel she was entire with a strange environment, but during the past few days I have taken time out to be with my brother and his daughter from Canada and I have felt secure that my wife is with friends and she is in good care.
