Our Mum has been in Highfield Care Home for almost a year now. The transition into 24 hour care was challenging for her, however the staff there made this as smooth for her as they possibly could. Each and every member of staff, from the manager through to the staff in the kitchen and everyone in between have gone out of their way to do all that they can for her, and us as a family. We are extremely grateful to everyone for the care and compassion they show our Mum every day and we would never want her to be anywhere else. The peace of mind we have knowing how well cared for that she is has been immeasurable and we cannot thank everyone enough.

I visit my friend in the Highfield Care Home most days, and I find it a very good experience. She can no longer has a conversation with me, but she is always smiling and happy. The staff are wonderful with her, and she always looks clean and fresh, even tho she doesn't always cooperate with staff due to her dementia, they are always kind and respectful. She loves the food, and all staff are so kind, from housekeepers to management.
Very happy with the care my wife receives. Staff are excellent and treat everybody with appropriate respect.

Myself and the rest of the family and I cannot speak highly enough of the care our mother received at Highfield. The staff were very caring, always showing Mum respect. Mum really enjoyed the food, always encouraging her in whatever she was doing.

My mam enjoys the company of other people and being involved. There is always activities and good fun in the communal areas.
Special mention for the food, which is excellent. It is nutritious, diverse and well prepared and presented.

Highfield is the fourth care home Mum has stayed in the last five years. It is the home I was most comfortable with, as I really believed she was loved and cared for properly. Thank you from myself and my brother for how well she was looked after in the last eighteen months of her life. It gave us great comfort.
I found the care in the home to be satisfactory, the staff mostly very obliging and courteous. The catering was good quality mainly home type cooking. My main complaint was with the NHS not the care home itself, I was told by the hospital I would get daily physiotherapy this did not happen which in...
One must be bear in mind that this home was mainly for dementia patients and from what I observed the care assistants did an excellent job in very difficult and tedious circumstances, a credit to your company .

Mam really likes her food, and the food is excellent, lots of tea and biscuits throughout the day. The staff are very respectful to mam and treat her very well with warm,...

Both of my parents have been cared for by the team at Highfield House, My mother has been a resident for 7 years and my father was there for a few months before settling into a nursing home. Each person who cares for my mother has a compassion and consideration for her needs that make it easy for us as a family to rest knowing she is in a loving and safe place. The management team are always helpful and have guided us on a number of occasions to insure the best care possible. Would highly recommend Highfield House.
There is a very homely and friendly atmosphere in the home.
