  • Highgate Care Home, Glasgow
Highgate Care Home, situated in the peaceful residential area of Uddington, supports older people to lead their best lives with personalised nursing and nursing dementia care.

Highgate recently underwent an extensive refurbishment programme which transformed communal areas including dining rooms, lounges/day rooms, reception area, bathrooms and corridors. Highgate has a host of places in which to relax, dine, exercise, socialise and be creative and the pretty landscaped sensory garden and patio is the perfect spot to spend time with friends and family.

From care assistants and nurses, to wellbeing coordinators and chefs, each and every member of the professional care team is there to assist you or your loved one in settling into the home. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the care sector, the home manager leads the team to ensure residents are supported to lead their best lives at Highgate.

The catering team at Highgate understands the nutritional needs of older people and creates delicious meals to ensure a lovely dining experience for all residents and visitors. They offer a wide range of popular dining areas that provide a welcoming space to enjoy meals with fellow residents, or family and friends.

The dedicated and professional care team at Highgate likes to learn about each resident’s hobbies and interests to design a comprehensive activity programme, supporting those living in the home to enjoy the things they love most. From building relationships with neighbours in local community groups and schools, to arranging sightseeing trips in the local area, residents at Highgate are encouraged to take an active role in the Uddington community.

Review from Janet G (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum stayed here whilst I went on holiday. We were dubious how this would be but the staff are wonderful. She said the food was great and she met some other residents, one of whom she became quite friendly with. Mums room was always clean and tidy as was she. The rest of the home is also very well
kept. The weather was good so Mum was able to spend time in the garden. Overall our experience was very good and I would recommend this home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I brought my mum along to visit her neighbour who is now resident in your care home. Security is spot on making it safe that residents cannot wander out with the home putting themselves in danger. We were greeted by friendly staff who located Mum's friend, she was attending a sing along party afternoon,
we could see the staff interacting with the residents and dancing with those who were able to do so , it was lovely to see. We sat in a residents sitting area and coffee and tea was served and we were very glad to be included! We were very impressed with the home which has a lovely garden area to the rear and also the frontage of the building is very welcoming. The staff are top notch making the residents feel at home and treated with care and dignity which was so lovely to see.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a very difficult, lengthy hospital stay, we made the very difficult decision that our mum required 24-hour care. After viewing other care homes, we opted for Highgate for a number of reasons, and we have not been disappointed the improvement in our mum was amazing. All her immediate needs were
met within week one, and after months in a hospital bed, she was on her feet. The staff have all been great, so helpful and communicate very well.

I am a regular visitor to Highgate Care Home and have always found the staff to be very helpful and cheery, despite the fact that they always seem busy. I am very happy with my father's treatment and he seems to enjoy the interaction with the staff. I have also noted that whenever I visit, my father
is always in a clean condition. And tells me that he looks forward to meal times. I see no problems whatsoever.

Staff are very welcoming, caring and patient. Plenty of interaction with residents and frequent activities. Good communication with family and staff to get to know the residents personally.
The room is always fresh and tidy. Father had been in a different care home, and Highgate is better in every
way. Nice to see no high turnover of staff. Lovely, friendly atmosphere, all residents seem to be pretty settled.

Highgate is a good environment for my mum. She always seems very content when we visit, and the staff seem to know how to make her smile. A lot better than the care home my dad was in. She gets days out and I am always informed when that will be. My mum is happy as she can be, so that makes me happy.

I cannot recommend Highgate Care Home more highly. A five-star review given with no hesitation. Mum's care is simply the best - the staff are superb - every member of staff has Mum as centre to everything they do for her. Of perhaps equal importance, they are so supportive and caring of us as relatives
too, Thank you so so much!

My mum has been in here since September 2024, and has come on leaps and bounds. She was in her bed for 6 months and is now sitting in the day room joining in with activities. She enjoys the entertainment that they put on, usually something weekly. As the staff couldn't be more helpful and keep us updated
with everything, they all put 100% into their jobs and also getting to know mums likes and dislikes.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Highgate Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.977 for Highgate Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.977
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highgate Care Home is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
