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.

Although there were activities, she was not able to take part due to her condition so staff came in to give her support when the family could not get in.

My mother was recuperating well and initially enjoying her time at this residence. Her illness meant she could not get out of bed and so staff helped as much as possible when my brothers and sisters were not around. They knew when she was not feeling right and talked to her directly with care levels not available at other places.

I have to say that after only one month she is completely settled and her agitation has reduced significantly. The staff are lovely and have taken the time to understand what my Nan's needs are. The manager is fantastic and always stops to have a catch up about her progress, he genuinely knows the residents. The home has undergone significant changes both in the terms of processes and environment and I cannot fault the new direction in any way - Keep it up!!.
The new management have updated the care home with the resident in mind and have ensured there is stimulation, there is a sensory room and regular entertainment.
Rooms are lovely and always clean, meals are balanced and homemade.
I would like to thank the staff for giving me the peace of mind that my Nan is cared for and settled at last!
Kind staff. Always very pleasant to talk to. Management approachable and good with new decorating being done.

Since this Care Home Service has taken over I can only say that in the short time it has been here, the whole field of services has changed 100% The first thing they did was to get rid of all the bad apples and replace them with a new set of more caring and more sensitive staff. The cleanliness and the food has excelled 100% too. I now cannot fault them with one single thing. The new management are efficient, understanding, helpful and very quick to react to any complaints that may be made.
All levels have been greatly improved as in care communication and general running of the home. I am very impressed by the overall outcome. Six months ago this was a ver different story.
