The care and attention given to my husband on his birthday were second to none, flowers, card and we appreciated this. Two members of staff, in particular, gave to the extreme beyond any carer would do and made my husband feel like family. You should be so grateful to all the staff on the ground floor, an absolute bonus to the home.

My father has been in Highview House Care Home for ten months and I cannot praise the staff highly enough. Dad gets the very best attention and care (one particular member of staff). In particular, the levels of engagement and activities provided by the staff are noteworthy. We visit regularly and special efforts are made to look after us and provide space and catering when we are with Dad. Dad has settled so well and a large part of that is down to the quality of attentiveness of your staff team. Thank you so much.

Home was excellent, the staff were great and the care was impeccable. I can't fault Highview at all.

Since the initial period when staff were getting to know Mum, and she was settling into the home, I have been very pleased with the standard of care and nursing Mum has received. The staff are all very attentive and friendly and are readily available to discuss the care and nursing with me. All staff appear to be aware of Mum's needs and treat her with respect and dignity. Mum is very settled and content in the home and always speaks very highly of the staff. Although Mum does not leave her room, she is happy that members of staff pop into her room regularly to ensure that she is alright. Mum is always clean, neatly dressed and groomed. She sleeps well and likes her room. I have no complaints regarding the home whatsoever.

My mother entered Highview House in August 2020 and due to Covid for most of that time access was very limited. Things are better now with 2 family member visits per week. There doesn't seem to be many activities organised at present and my mother spends most of the time in her room. The reasons for agreeing with social services for my mother to go into care was for safety, security and stimulation. Safety and security are fine but there is a lack of stimulation. Most of the staff are good but there are one or two who like to be in the office.

I visited six care homes. As soon as I walked into memory lane I could not explain to myself just what I was feeling a few days later the feeling was like a blanket of love surrounding me. The staff are beyond belief and have accepted me. I am so so pleased that I chose Highview it is very difficult to choose somewhere for the one you love so much. I certainly made the correct choice.

Feel very reassured that my dad has been looked after so well during this difficult time. Window visits are a great idea. All staff and carers in Memory Lane are fantastic, keeping in touch with us when unable to visit. Cannot thank everyone enough for their care and affection.

I can't thank the staff enough for the care given to my mum this year. They have been amazing in every way. They have kept me updated on how she has been and now I can visit her every week I can see for myself how well cared for she has been. Good job guys!

My mother has been at Highview for 9 years and she is happy there and well cared for. There have been several changes in management in that time (which have varied in success) but now management and refurbishments are positive. We pay privately and find the annual fee increase difficult to deal with, however, we think Highview staff are excellent and are kind to mum.

It takes us 6 hours by car to visit out terminally ill sister. We have found all staff friendly and helpful to us and our sister seems well cared for in different circumstances. Their friendliness and patience is excellent.

My Mother was in the care of Highview for almost 2 years and I have to say that the nursing care was superb and the personal care increasingly good.

Hi, my name is Elsbeth, and I am the General Manager here at Highview House.
I qualified as a nurse in 1993 and have always worked within the private sector, living and working in Newcastle upon Tyne. I worked for a local, family-run nursing care company before Barchester, making my way through their career ladder during my time there.
In 2013 my family and I made a quality-of-life decision to move away from life in the city to Inverness, where I have worked within the locality as a care home manager ever since.
I enjoy making a positive difference in people’s lives. My appointment at Highview will bring me into contact with a new group of people and I hope that I can touch their lives in a productive and meaningful way.
My greatest achievement to date has to be being nationally acknowledged as the 'Nurse of the Year' in 2015 for the excellent environment and care given to people living with dementia in my care home. I still find it very difficult to believe that a care home manager from Inverness was recognised for just doing her job.

My name is Jamie-Lee Harris, and I work as a nurse on the day shift. I have been a nurse for seven years, starting at a children’s hospital in Jamaica and then becoming a nurse for adults in Inverness. I have been at Highview House for just over a year, and I love it.
My favourite aspect of my job is the interaction with residents and relatives. There isn’t one day that I come to work and leave without having a good laugh! I want to help create a homely atmosphere here, so if you see me around, feel free to stop me for a chat.

Hello, I’m Dan Fraser. I’m a Registered Nurse on the ground floor. I’ve worked at Highview since 2024, and I enjoy working here a great deal. My favourite part of working here is getting to know people – our residents, families and colleagues. Highview is home to a lot of people, and I want it to feel like an extended family. There’s an enormous amount of trust involved in working in care, and getting to know folk really helps that process.
Outside of work, I’m Mr Musical! Singing, dancing, you name it. If it involves music, I’m up for it. I’m always available for a blether and a cup of coffee, so stop me for a chat when you see me.

Hi, my names Laura Johnson and I am a Care Practitioner and a Mental Health Nurse. I have been with Barchester for four years and have ten years’ experience in care. I am in the second year of nursing.
Working for Barchester allows me to make memories for residents – living life in the moment and creating experiences with short- and long-term benefits. I also enjoy working in the world of Dementia, and my stress and distress course helps with this, as it allows me to identify difficulties which the residents may not be able to express. I also enjoy compiling care plans, which ensure we support our residents to the best of our abilities and to the most of their needs.

Hello, I’m Anya McIntosh. I’m a day shift carer on Memory Lane. Working in the care sector, and for Barchester in particular, is incredibly rewarding. Joy is infectious, and we see the benefit of it every day. My favourite part of my job is being able to be myself with the residents. I love dancing and singing with them – whenever there’s a party or a karaoke session to be had at the home, I’ll be there at the front! Please feel free to stop and chat if you see me – I love the social aspect of my role.

Hello, I’m Melissa Fraser, and I’ve been a carer at Highview for the past five and a half years. I love how rewarding my job is and that each day is totally different. I particularly enjoy being able to assist residents when they are not necessarily able to express what the issue is. When I can improve their day, activity or even moment, I feel like I have done my job. The bond I make with residents is the best part of my job.

Hello, I’m Tim, and I’m a Care Practitioner. I moved to the Highlands from England after a holiday in 2024 when I fell in love with the scenery. I have been working in care since 2014, and I want to bring those years of experience to Highview House. I can use them to provide the highest possible level of care and service to you and your loved ones.
Feel free to stop and say hello if you see me at home. I’m delighted to spend time with residents and their families!

Hello, my name is Aiden Wylie, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Highview House. My job is to ensure a mentally and physically challenging and varied calendar of activities. I want to involve all our residents in a warm and welcoming environment.
My career has been in education, but in 2022 I came to Highview with the ambition of offering a range of activities, trips and entertainment which lead to lasting memories and experiences.

Hello, I’m Sharon Laird. I have now worked with the Barchester Healthcare group in the Activities Department since July 2022, having previously been in the NHS for 40 years. I worked as a nurse and then a midwife before retiring from the health service. Now I have gone full circle from early life to retirement!
I thoroughly enjoy all the fun and entertainment that comes with the job.

Hi, my name is Stuart Sturgeon and it’s my honour to be head chef at Highview House. My career has been cooking in busy hotels and restaurants in the hospitality sector where I was responsible for creating challenging and creative menus.
Here at Highview, I need to learn every resident’s likes and dislikes, as well as their individual nutritional needs. I have the responsibility of creating their menu. It’s their home, and my team and I take pride in creating menus that we know they’ll enjoy.
I’m also responsible for assisting the Activities Team on theme days, parties and one-off events.
If you see me around, I’m always happy to chat!

Hi everyone, I’m Cath Hall. I’m the hairdresser at Highview, and I have been in that role for as long as I can remember. I’m the singing hairdresser – I was a professional singer for a while – and I feel like this helps the residents relax. I’ve worked in care homes across the Highlands for more than a decade, and residents trust me. You’ll hear me before you see me, but you certainly won’t forget me! Stop in at the salon for a chat or a trim.
