Review from Anthony W (Husband of Resident) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was placed here a year ago by the hospital; they took her away from me because she had got "too much". An awful experience! Of course I was upset by the whole episode, but I needn't have worried. The management and staff are brilliant, helpful in any way they can be, given some of the circumstances
that they have to deal with. I have no concerns in the way my wife is looked after, any issues are almost immediately resolved. Although the house is "olde world", it is always clean and tidy, again, a good housekeeping team. I have no hesitation in recommending the home for anyone with the need. Never judge a book by its cover!

Review from Graham W (Son of Resident) published on 4 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved to Higham House last year after many years at home with live-in day carers so I was apprehensive when he wasn't able to stay at his house and move into a care home. Fortunately, we were not disappointed and we feel the home have been extremely caring towards him, accommodating his needs
and ensuring he is kept safe. The care home dealt with the Covid challenge well and ensured the residents stayed safe, without putting them or the staff at risk. My father has limited needs but even so, the staff went out of their way to ensure they were met. For example, my father was used to watching DVDs and so agreed that we could bring in his player and movies from his former house. He also loves colouring and the team set up a table for him to hold his many pencils and colouring books.
Whilst the home is an older property, the rooms are of a good size and maintained and kept clean and tidy. I would recommend Higham House to anyone needing a care home for a family member.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.167) out of 10 for Higham House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Higham House is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5
  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 3.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Higham House is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.167
  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.
