Since my father arrived at Highfields suddenly and without being able to visit beforehand, all the staff have been wonderful, considerate, understanding, reassuring and professional. We feel they genuinely care for him, spend time with him, getting to know him and genuinely care for his well-being. They are patient and encourage him to be part of the team, ensuring his happiness, showing kindness to him and our family in these difficult Covid times. Thank you.

A very emotional time taking my father-in-law to a care home after he has always managed on his own since losing his wife in November 2014. But having had a stroke, things changed, but I was really pleased when I took him to Highfield. The management and staff were so kind and considerate that it put my mind at ease, and today was the first time we have seen him, and he was a lot more settled and well presented, and the meal he was given on arrival looked, first class.
The staff are very nice and my meals are exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble.

My father was admitted to the home 7 months ago. The care he received was above and beyond our expectations, the staff went above and beyond. We were kept well informed by the Manager who we commend for her professionalism.

Delighted with the care my Nanna is receiving at all times, but especially during the Covid pandemic. The manager kindly helped us arrange a virtual 90th birthday celebration for Nanna which was so lovely for us all as a family as we couldn't spend her birthday together. Nothing is too much and the staff are so helpful when we want to video call Nanna. She always looks immaculate with care taken to do her hair, nails and choice of her clothes. Thank you, everyone, for taking such good care of Nanna and keeping our minds at ease during this difficult time xxx

The care and compassion shown to my Mum and all residents at Highfield during the current pandemic has been incredible; I can never thank the manager and staff for their kindness, not only to my Mum but to us as a family with their reassurances and updates on how everyone is; nothing is ever too much trouble and despite their own fears, keep positive during these difficult times. It is an amazing home with wonderful staff and management and I am so glad my Mum is being cared for there. Thank you, everyone.
The commitment from all carers is wonderful. I know Mum is in special caring hands. Looking forward to seeing everyone under normal circumstances.

I know that my mum is in the safest place and is being so well looked after by all of the staff, who all have their own families to take care of as well as looking after their own health at this very difficult time.
The staff at Highfield are all angels and I can’t thank them enough for all they are doing.
My Dad has been with them since June and during his time with them, they have treated him as one of their own family.

My Dad has been with them since June and during his time with them, they have treated him as one of their own family.
In a period of time which has been extremely stressful and challenging for my Dad the care, dedication and love shown for him have been way beyond just a job.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the team to care for a family member.

My mother has been in Highfield since the end of November last year (2019). We are very pleased with the care and attention she has received from all the staff during her stay. The staff and management go the extra mile to make the residents comfortable and happy and they show great compassion and patience. We have visited almost on a daily basis and are always made to feel very welcome. The food is always excellent and there are many activities for the residents to enjoy.

Very relieved and happy that my father is resident in this care home. I can actually rest knowing that all his care is being taken care of. Also, positive help received by myself upon initially talking with the Manageress, which took so much stress away from myself.

Highfield emphasises kindness in its marketing materials and this is indeed its defining characteristic from which all else flows. From the home manager downwards, the staff are endlessly kind, compassionate and patient, often under trying circumstances.
I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Mum moved from another home and the difference is so noticeable, the atmosphere in Highfield is jollity and caring and I can't praise the staff enough for the care they are giving Mum, as I live some distance away it is comforting to know she is being cared for so well.
Thank you, one of the things that I noticed is staff and residents are all happy and welcoming.
The staff are wonderful, very caring and friendly. There are lots of activities for Dad to join in with, but he can also have quiet times to read the paper in his room.

The staff are wonderful, very caring and friendly. There are lots of activities for Dad to join in with, but he can also have quiet times to read the paper in his room. Dad was very isolated at home and there has been a big difference in his mood since coming into The Highfield. He is enjoying the food and is eating much more since he came here, which is having a positive effect on his health. He feels secure here and is mixing more with other residents. The management have been very supportive at this difficult time.
The staff have looked after my husband with the utmost care. All of them have been wonderful, which has made me feel so relieved he is in such good care.
