I had cared for my father at home for several years and reluctantly agreed that he needed full-time care at the age of 99 years; he could no longer walk, was almost blind and had trouble feeding himself.

I had cared for my father at home for several years and reluctantly agreed that he needed full-time care at the age of 99 years; he could no longer walk, was almost blind and had trouble feeding himself. The staff at Highfield were kind and reassuring, they always had time to talk about my father. He was content and cared for gently and with respect, he settled well. He passed away of natural causes in bed, in June 2017.
Care staff are excellent. No issues with them or the management. All seem dedicated to their roles which a lot of time is a difficult task.

Very welcoming, friendly and supportive staff. Great care is taken to fulfil all mums needs and I would never consider putting her anywhere else than Highfield.
I feel confident and happy that mum is getting the best care possible and has always company from staff and nothing is too much trouble.

My sister has lived here for 18 months and during that time she has received superb care and her condition has progressed considerably. She is well fed, kept clean and loves the staff who care for her.
I have recommended the home to others and have no reservations in continuing to do so.
