Thank you so very much for this lovely review, as a team, we're so glad we could support you all.
Staff to resident ratio...
Staff to resident ratio is excellent, with several registered nurses available at all times.
There are regular outings arranged - shopping, garden visits, church and theatre etc. A separate building houses a wellness centre, with beauty treatments, chiropody and amazing art and craft room. Physios and fitness instructors visit regularly and the home works well with the local authorities..
An ever changing list of events - excercise classes, gardening, cooking, music, singing - truly something to suit everyone.
The attention to every resident's specific needs is amazing, as is the electronic logging system.
I cannot stress how wonderful Trudi and her team are.
Thank you so very much for this wonderful review, and more importantly for taking the time to write it. As a family and as a support network, it has been a privilege to get to know you. Thank you for all the wonderful support, kindness and compassion you showed throughout. Sending much love to you all.

What a lovely review! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this for us. Your Mum is living a wonderful life at Highwell House, I'm so glad she is loving living here with us. You, as her daughter are a wonderful support, not only to your Mum but to us as well. Thank you.

The exceptional team at Highwell House provided superb care for my Dad during his last few weeks. They made him welcome, were proactive in suggesting the best care and medical approach, and ensured his final days were comfortable and dignified. They took equally good care of us, his family, guiding us with compassion through a difficult time. I would strongly recommend Highwell House to anyone looking for dementia / palliative care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderfully thoughtful review. Your kind words mean the world to us as a team. Your Dad was gracious, dignified and a true gentleman. It was a privilege to care for him as the end of his life approached, and it was also a pleasure to care for you all as a family. Sending lots of love to you all, and I hope you have a peaceful Christmas.

Life at Highwell is exceptional, my husband sadly passed away recently but the kindness shown to both my husband and myself throughout his time there was remarkable.
I will be forever grateful for the memories I have of us enjoying tea outside on the patio one last time. The consideration shown to us by the staff, enabling us to have our time together, was so thoughtful.
My husbands complex care needs required visits from additional healthcare professions, Highwells team worked skilfully together with them and always kept me informed.
In the latter stages of my husbands life he experienced challenges linked to his illness, but the team at Highwell managed these with kindness, professionalism, and always dignity.
I cant praise everyone enough,
Thankyou for your compassionate care with kindness.
So book your visit today

In particular, 4 members of staff went above and beyond their duties. Their care, empathy and genuine authenticity were second to none. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Kindness and professionalism were constant and consistent.
The open-door policy at Highwell House reflects the home's honest and transparent approach to care.....what you see is truly what you get. It was a kind and amazing experience for my uncle and one for which my family and I will always be deeply grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My father has been a resident at Highwell House for nearly 3 years. This week, 14 members of our family visited to celebrate his 90th birthday. We had arranged to meet him in their magnificent new entertaining suite and when we arrived we found it decorated with fresh flowers and lots of balloons. The very well equipped kitchen area was available for us to use and iced water, coffee, tea and milk and fizz glasses were set out ready for us. This was an example of how the management and staff go over and above to enhance the lives of their residents and we feel so grateful to them that we were able to have such a happy, memorable afternoon and for their continuing high quality care.
I'm so glad we were able to make your father's 90th birthday celebrations so special. Thank you for writing this wonderful review.

Visited to attend a special birthday of a dear friend, so impressed with the welcome, the attentiveness of the staff, the food, the celebration, special details, but most of all the view. What an overall beautiful place.

Thank you for your lovely review. It was wonderful to welcome you all to Highwell House to celebrate a very special birthday. Please come and visit us again.
Excellent in every way from the moment we arrived until when we left. The atmosphere was very good, the staff were exemplary, it was a joy to watch them all working as a team. When working I had experience of care homes in 4 counties, Highwell House in my Top 2.

All the staff and management are outstanding, they all take the utmost care of every need catered for, are very courteous to visitors, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The nursing staff treat you like family. Sadly my best friend has spent her final days there and was treated amazingly well. Lovely and clean all the time, with people popping in and out. Never left alone for long. If I ever need this kind of care, this is where I would choose to end my days. Thank you so much for your care and service.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. It was an absolute privilege to care for your best friend, I know how special she was to you. I'm so glad we could make her final days comfortable and peaceful. I will pass on your good wishes to the team, thank you, it means a lot to us.
Overall a caring nursing home, with good views of the windows most staff are helpful and friendly, could do with more staff to enable more time to sit and interact with clients, visitors welcomed with open arms and access to food and drinks.

Dad's been a resident at Highwell House Nursing & Residential Care since November 2024. Everyone has made the transition easy and straightforward for both him and me. He's been made to feel very welcome and it's wonderful to be able to drop in and see him whenever and be a part of the festivities there too. He's enjoying the activities on offer and definitely the food! I know he's safe and well looked after, with caring staff who can cope with his night-time wanderings.
The practical aspects...
The practical aspects of caring for the needs of those growing older with varying needs are carried out quietly and efficiently. With respect, dignity as well as safety being important factors of the care.
A wide range of day to day activities on offer and the feeling of community created by the manager and her team is notable and impressive.
