With the home's chef crowned winner of Sanctuary Care's MasterChef 2023, mealtimes are a highlight of the day, with delicious home cooked meals and freshly-baked cakes and treats every day for afternoon tea.

Activities are a huge part of life in the home. There is a hair salon for pampering, games afternoons, trips out into the community and music and movement, as well as gardening.

There is a spacious lounge for activities and spending time with loved ones, who are welcome to visit High Peak at any time, as well as a relaxing sun terrace.

Review from Pamela K (Wife of Resident) published on 23 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall, very happy for my husband being in your care.
I think sometimes understanding can cause issues, not just for the resident but the staff too.
Ongoing niggle is the car parking. Just a simple remedy of some white lines would improve this. One area needs careful thought on the while lines to
give maximum parking.

I have selected good for all questions except activities, where I have placed it as satisfactory. This in no way reflects on the activities coordinator, who is very good. My relative would like to see more external activities, eg visits out, which may be cost prohibited.
I am very happy overall with
the experience of High Peak, as is my relative who has dementia; however, I have no experience of other care homes, but feel confident she is in a good home overall.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
So my grandma has been a resident of High Peak since October last year, she is so well looked after we can't fault them. She is 102 in a couple of weeks and wow they are pulling the stops to make sure it is special for her. The lady who looks after the social side of stuff is just amazing and has gone
above and beyond to ensure this happens. The staff take an active interest in my grandma which is so lovely to see and although she doesn't know why she's there (still independent and thinks she's lazy) it is heartwarming for us as her family.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at High Peak Residential & Nursing Home

A very friendly atmosphere. Staff who obviously enjoy working there and are willing to answer any queries. My husband is very deaf and this does create communication problems at times but these can be overcome with patience. I think everyone is looked after very well and it is a joy to visit.

I cannot recommend this nursing home highly enough. For the 3.5 years that my mum was a resident. The love, care and kindness shown to her were exceptional. She was always treated as part of the family because that is what High Peak is, just looking at the length of service of the staff where 10 years
is a 'newcomer' is such a good indication of the home and its ethos. Definitely 10/10 all around.

Mum has recently been discharged from hospital, but still has complex care needs. The staff manage her needs very well whilst also being super kind, friendly, and caring. There's a really nice atmosphere and they provide a wide range of activities, there's a lot of laughter here.

I am a resident and will say the nursing staff are excellent.
Regarding food, some meals leave a lot to be desired and made always hot. I know some people may have to be careful if it is hot, can hurt you, can always leave it cood till you can eat it.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at High Peak Residential & Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your praise for our excellent nursing team. We are sorry to hear your comments about the food and having contacted the home we know this is something our chef has been speaking to you about.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All thre staff are very professional and caring to Mum and to us. Nothing is too much trouble. The care manager was amazing in getting Mum admitted into High Peak Residential & Nursing Home from hospital. The chefs reform Mum's food to represent "real" food as Mum has difficulty in swallowing. during
our last care meeting some of the questions related to when Mum passes away ie. what did we want her to wear to be buried and what readings at her funeral. We were unprepared for this and was very distressing. This should be done by the undertakers at the appropriate time. This is our only criticism.

My mum had a fall at home and broke her arm which meant she needed a safe place to recover and regain her confidence. It's now three weeks later and Mum doesn't want to go home at the moment which speaks volumes for the staff at High Peak Nursing Home. I visit everyday and am made to feel welcome and
Mum's enjoying the food, especially the homemade soup. I feel lucky to have High Peak near to where we live.

My Mum went into High Peak towards the end of the Covid epidemic. It was a difficult time for everyone yet the staff were accommodating and compassionate throughout her stay. All the staff were wonderful from the manager and administrator through to the nurses, care workers, chefs and room support.
Whenever I thought there was something I should mention, I would ring and find out it had already been noted and anyone who needed to know was already aware. She was very well looked after and cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.562)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.562) out of 10 for High Peak Residential & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.562 for High Peak Residential & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.562
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for High Peak Residential & Nursing Home is based on 11 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
