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.

I volunteer at Highgate Care Home after my mum has been a resident there. There were numerous events organised during December in the lead up to Christmas, panto's Christmas parties and a visit from Santa on Christmas Day, which the residents loved.

I have found everyone very helpful and so nice, particularly the activity team. Mum came in on December 7th, so far everyone has been so nice, one member of staff in particular is especially very good at looking after everyone. Have to say, all very nice.

Mum came into Highgate Care Home in September 2024 after spending 6 months in bed at home, never being able to get out of the bed except for a shower. She has settled in well and her quality of life has changed dramatically for the better, being able to get out of the bed, up and dressed. Sitting in
the day room, being with other residents and staff. Every member of staff in the care home are excellent, professional and very caring. The staff give 100% to the residents, we are very happy with every aspect of the home and the vast improvement in mum. Thanks so much.

Really happy with my mums level of care, the staff are all excellent and show great attention to details, compassion and empathy.
Everyone really cares about my mum and knows her very well. She is extremely well looked after. There is lots of activities as well as hairdressers and staff regularly
paints my mums nails and do her hair.
Communication is excellent and I'm glad that I could find a place for mum at Highgate Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Highgate Care Home in May this year, after quite a difficult and stressful period at home and in hospital, and has settled in so well. I absolutely believe that her quality of life has improved beyond anything we had hoped for. She has such a positive outlook now and has wonderful relationships
with the staff. She enjoys the entertainment and activities and is so proud of herself when she tells us about her exercises or her dancing to the fabulous singers who come regularly to entertain. The care home shares lots of posts on their social media so family and friends can see how much she's enjoying life.
All staff that I have met are so friendly, welcoming and positive. They've responded quickly and professionally to a couple of minor health issues. The activities team are wonderful and the activities are fun and imaginative and engaging.
From a personal point of view, the stress and worry have been lifted from my shoulders and I know I made the best decision for Mum.

Although my dad was only at Highgate for a relatively short period of time until he passed, the Highgate staff excelled at quickly building meaningful relationship with him and making this final part of his life a happy and comfortable one. The family will always be immensely grateful for this.

I was very apprehensive about my mother going into full-time care. I visited Highgate Care home prior to my mother moving in and was really impressed with the professional and competent behaviours of all the staff I came into contact with. My mother has settled in very well and has made friends with
other residents. She became ill with pneumonia and the staff acted quickly to have her seen at the local hospital and treated for her chest infection.

My mum is a resident within Highgate Care Home. She has settled in without any problems, due to the friendly staff and other residents.
The staff are very professional and keep me informed of any changes with regard to my mum's care.
My mum receives three meals a day with snacks in between.
The room
she has is very spacious and spotless too, another reason I would recommend this home to anyone.

I so appreciate the care given to my brother every single day since residency in August 2023. He is under the regular watchful eyes of staff, with special attention of his Parkinson's and falls challenges. He is cared for with respect, dignity and love and kindness. There is so much to appreciate about
Highgate. It's always fresh, lovely floral displays and nicely decorated public areas for special dates; Christmas, Valentine's, Mother's day, St Patrick's, so colourful and pleasing to the eye for residents/visitors. It's a pleasure to visit, always welcomed and given time for questions by phone or in person. In comparing options, Highgate was a standout. Staff are so respectful and caring. I cannot thank them all enough - nurses, carers, support workers, activities coordinators, management, admin and not forgetting kitchen staff! Highgate staff go the extra mile and with a smile, but most of all, with love and kindness. They are a testimony to being part of the Kind Care company.

My brother and I did not envisage such a happy outcome for our dad prior to his arrival at Highgate Care Home. Without exception, the staff and management are kind, caring and so helpful to us as visitors. Dad is always smartly dressed and very clean and tidy. The variety of activities is amazing, and
I can only thank you all so much for your hard work.

My mother-in-law has been in Highgate since June 2022. It took her a few months to settle, but she has been so well cared for during this time. I cannot praise the care staff enough; they do everything they can to make her stay safe, healthy and happy. We looked at several care homes for my mother-in-law,
and we are so happy we chose Highgate.

Me and my mother are so happy with the staff, they are so helpful and polite and always go above and beyond to help. 10/10 service. We feel this is more like a five to six-star hotel as my mother gets spoiled.
Can do more on physical activities.

Review is usually given with the nurse in charge. Just to keep us updated with my mother's health and well-being and if there are any issues with Mum and if we are happy with the overall service (but without the review, we get regular calls).

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.979 for Highgate Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (410 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 419 Ratings = 4.979
  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 35 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 35 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.
