Review from G S (Resident / Service User) published on 3 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Overall, I was well looked after. My care needs were met and the food was good and sufficient. The room was clean and well decorated. The hot water in the washbasin never became hot enough and there was difficulty flushing the toilet. The staff were respectful, friendly and caring.

Overall Experience
My wife had terminal cancer and spent the last 4 weeks of her life at Highfields. The staff were all very caring and looked after all of my wife's needs. The food was very good and the place is very clean, no smells. I would highly recommend. Thank you all.

Review from Patricia H (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother is well looked after, respected and cared for. She is happy and I don't worry about her as I know that she is alright and content. The staff are very good with her and she likes them and has a laugh with them.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
