Highlands Care Centre

Highlands Care Centre is a place that you can call home, whether you are looking for supported independence or require more hands on care. With their approach, whatever your needs are, they will be met. Their 43-bed Highlands Care Centre provides a range of options depending on your needs.
These include:
•        Old age
•        Physical disability
•        Learning disability
•        Autism
•        Mental Health
•        Complex Care

In Bon Air Court they offer a number of self-contained residential apartments; this allows residents a balance of independent living with the knowledge that there is help on hand if it is needed. For residents requiring more care, or a more communal living experience they have a number of rooms available in the residential home; Highlands. Highlands has a beautiful dining room with a vaulted ceiling, a coffee lounge, library and the popular spa baths. Residents in both areas of the complex have access to all the facilities.

A varied and inclusive life is offered at Highlands, with a range of activities all co-ordinated by the onsite activities coordinator. The activities are chosen depending upon the residents’ own interests and requests are always welcomed!

Highlands Care Centre is run by St Philip’s Care Group. They believe that all care should be given with dignity and compassion. Their staff are all trained and supported to ensure that the care they give is second to none. They provide 24-hour care to all residents. They use modern technology to increase the amount of time that staff can spend with residents, giving them company and support, to brighten their days.

They have a minibus on site, which provides regular trips out and about, as well as professionals visiting the home on a regular basis, providing care such as chiropodists and hairdressers. Family and friends are always welcome to come and visit.

They offer care for both funded and private residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All very friendly and obliging. I go very often to see my relation and they all make it feel that it’s home from home. It’s a shame it so short-staffed they so rushed off their feet and also more activities and outings could be arranged.

Review from A L (Sister of Resident) published on 25 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All are very friendly and very caring. I do feel that on this review security and safety are together safety is excellent but security is poor with many personal items and money have been stolen out of the resident's rooms which is unfortunate but disgusting, therefore strongly feel more action with
this is needed to be put in place.
Meal options are to be reviewed for those who need to watch their calorie intake.

Review from Janine L (Respite Resident) published on 25 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I have been residing here for four months awaiting a flat. I think the staff do their best and are very attentive, but being allocated to the residents for showering and care is not always at set times. I have had several times when I've had to wait until late morning for a shower. I have mobility problems
but can still drive, I am very independent with doing my own shopping, and tidying my flat, doing the dishes, etc. I get very frustrated at having to wait for a shower. There are a lot of things that need repairing when I've asked over and over again. I am not sure why it is called a Luxury Care Home, as that it isn't. The flats are nice but basic. The food is adequate but could do with specials, the same menus week in week out. The laundry, well I would not advise wearing anything of good quality as it will be ruined, either shrunk or baggy. I am situated by the main access door, after complaining for some time, it was properly fixed.

Review from C T (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 11 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The staff are friendly. There aren't any activities as far as I know but if I do arrange any myself outside the home they do organise travel.
The food is satisfactory, soup is literally half a cup, ingredients of meals are cheap quality and there are never any special meals i.e. steak dinner (something
fancy now again would be nice). You're only supposed to ask for milk and bread on Mondays and Friday which would be fine if you got enough to last that long and had a good memory, not good if you don't remember what day it is or that you need some but this is not a strict rule.
Would be nice to have a satellite dish to get satellite TV. This is a luxury care home, expect more for the price.

Finally! A care home that has provided my son with a safe, happy and beautiful home. What a delight this care home is. The staff are well trained, and their obvious job satisfaction is evident, always willing to keep and ensure their first priority are those they care for. The management takes every
effort to ensure that a happy environment is essential. Thank you!

I have been living in 'Highlands' for several months. Whilst I hope to move into my own accommodation in the near future; the care and consideration shown to me by the staff are beyond compassion. I would very happily recommend Highlands to any prospective occupant and a valuable asset to the community.
Long may it prosper and blossom even further.
