The staff are very friendly and attentive; they are always willing to help in every way. I would be nice to have showering facilities. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to use the facility.

My mother has only been in a few days so don't think I can give a very good assessment, but as for the chat I've seen so far it seems a very good establishment with plenty of helpful staff. Hopefully what I have seen so far will continue.

It’s something you never think that you will have to do, placing your Mum into care - but the comfort and reassurance I have since she has moved into Highstone is massive.
She is treated with dignity and care, is safe and secure, well-fed and receives great interaction from a caring team.
I highly
endorse this care home for dementia suffering elderly care.

Review from M J (Friend of Resident) published on 17 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Every time we enter the building, we are met with a very warm, welcoming atmosphere. All the staff are very friendly and all past the time of day.
The rooms are very clean, although could do with decorating (but this is a little minor). The care the staff have given; has been very good.
Water is always
available, and tea is served throughout the day. Meals are very nice I have been told, apart from the fish on Friday's. Plenty of activities for the services users to join in with.
Overall, I think Highstane Mews is a well-managed home, and I would not have second thoughts to recommend the home to anyone needing this service.
Thank you for everything you have done for my friend.

The staff are very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere has a family feel about it, staff interact with residents as if they have known them years.
Treating them as a good friend. They are busy and nothing is too much trouble. Someone is always around to speak to. The management have made this home
outstanding in my eyes. The hard work and dedication is evident throughout.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They are helpful and have settled my mum in very well both the managers are approachable and helpful.
The care home is clean and has no unpleasant smell of urine which assures me that all the residents are properly cared for. I was apprehensive at first, due
to past reports however, this care home has now been turned around completely. Fantastic.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my parents had to go into Highstone Mews together, it was a difficult time for them and us, but staff went above their duties to help them settle. Mum and Dad were well cared for, we knew they were safe and anything they wanted they could have. We visited daily so we were there a lot. I can honestly
say all the staff including office staff, cleaners and managers had a genuine bond with both my parents and looked after them amazingly and they helped us as a family too when we found things difficult. Both my parents passed away in the home (which was our wish) and the care and dignity they received up until the end was first class. Thank you to you all, but especially senior carers and all the care staff.

My husband was brought to Highstone Mews for rehabilitation. Since being here he has been treated extremely well. He receives daily physio and is improving daily. The staff are all caring and respectful and treat him really well.

My Mother has been in Highstone Mews for the past 4 years and since the new management came things have even improved more. All the staff are so helpful and I know I can contact them at any time day or night. I am very happy with my Mother's care and if there is a problem they always get in touch with
me.

We moved my wife to this care home from another care home (very poor treatment)! Been very happy with my wife's care at this care home, well looked after and treated with dignity. We have to travel to see her but I think she is very well looked after here and all staff are very kind and considerate.
(Super staff) I feel it is as good as you can wish for.

We have had considerable difficulty placing our Mum in a suitable care home but Highstone Mews was willing to admit her and their care, staff and general support has been fantastic, from admission onwards. Mum is now settled, had a full medication review and is coming along nicely. It is a pleasure
to visit the home, the welcome fabulous and the staff amazing!!

My mother came into Highstone Mews again for a long weekend. Whilst staying, staff noticed my mother wasn't well, they acted instantly getting her the care she needed. They kept me in the loop the whole time.
I am very grateful for what they did for my mother.

My nan stayed at Highstone Mews for a week, we never thought she would go in a home but she absolutely loved it, she said the rooms were nicely decorated and the staff always went that extra mile for her and the other residents. The meals were lovely. She is booked in again for a week.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.804)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.804) out of 10 for Highstone Mews Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.854 for Highstone Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.854
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highstone Mews Care Home is based on 18 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
