My mother was extremely well cared for during her last few days. After a long and gruelling hospital stay, the staff restored her dignity and confidence. She had a lovely room and her wishes were quickly fulfilled.
Reply from Courtney Moncur, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at HighgateThank you for your kind words, we are so glad we could be here to support your mother in her final days. I will pass on your comments to our team.

Everyone and everything at Signature Bishops Avenue has been good. The staff are kind and obliging, and the restaurant and food are excellent. I have met interesting people and enjoyed the outdoor spaces during the sunny weather.

We - her family and friends are delighted with the care and kindness shown to her in the almost two months since she first arrived at Signature Highgate. I can do no better than to quote one of her closest chums who told us: 'She is far more relaxed, bright and content than we've seen for ages. So good
to see her doing so well.'

I am a private support worker for a resident at Signature at Highgate. When my friend recently returned back home to his residence at Signature at Highgate after a very nasty experience at the hospital. He was greeted back at Signature with open arms and all of the staff (both night and day) were incredible
with him and very attentive. He felt like he was back in a safe place with family which helped in his recovery. We are very grateful for the staff at Signature at Highgate.
Reply from Avid Izad, Admin at Signature at HighgateThank you for your kind review. We are glad you can see the hard work the team puts into keeping the home at the highest standards.

Signature is a very high-end care home. Everything in a five-star hotel or cruise ship would be other than the food which is at a four-star level.
Reply from Courtney Moncur, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at HighgateThank you for your lovely review; we are delighted you feel the standard of Highgate is so high. I will pass on your kind words to the team.

Signature has been life-changing. A fast and friendly service from the very first moment.
Knowing that your loved one is in good hands, with a well organised team and fantastic infrastructure is a massive relief at a point in time where most things seems quite dark.
The team judge well when not
to and when to be present; they are caring, kind and hard-working. Sensitive to my father's needs. Encouraging him to join the community as much as possible whilst respecting his wishes for privacy too.
All together the Signature experience has only enhanced my father's life and as a result his family's.
Reply from Courtney Moncur, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at HighgateThank you for your wonderful review, I will pass on the kind words to our team. We are so happy that Dad is happy with us here at Highgate.

Review from P R (Son of Resident) published on 4 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Signature at Highgate does not feel like a residential care home.
The staff are all attentive, helpful and subtle in the way that they support my mother so that they seem more like caring friends than carers. She can remain independent in all her choices and activities while accessing a full range
of in-house entertainment. As an example, saying that she likes opera, several operas have been screened in the cinema especially for her.
The facilities are more like a luxury hotel with food freshly prepared for each dinner from a small but varied and healthy menu. Guests are always welcome and can be hosted in her private apartment or the public lounges with free coffee and cakes provided. Saying that she likes granola for breakfast, it appeared on the menu by day 3!
Reply from Courtney Moncur, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at HighgateThank you for your lovely review; we are delighted to have your mum with us at Highgate, and I'm happy you can see how hard the team work to meet all our resident's needs. I will pass on your kind words to the team here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Signature at Highgate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.892 for Signature at Highgate is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 361 Ratings = 4.892
  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 Signature at Highgate is based on 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 96 registered maximum number of service users is 19.2, which has been reached with 31 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.

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2017

I am the General Manager for Signature at Highgate. My role is to ensure we honour and deliver our commitment in providing the highest quality of care in a luxury environment. I am responsible for overall service delivery to our customers and community, inspiring and leading the onsite team and ensuring high standards of governance and compliance are achieved.


Over the last 10 years, I have had the privilege of serving the healthcare sector through managing and leading frontline care services for our elderly population. I have met with many individuals who have willingly shared their life experiences and wisdom with me. This has reinforced my sense of duty and heightened my level of respect for our elders. During this time, I have been proud to lead and work alongside some amazing team members who have a genuine passion for care and a true desire to serve. I have learned a great deal from these colleagues along my career journey.


I am very much a people person, and I truly believe in the values of responsibility, integrity, kindness, compassion and doing what I can for others. The care sector has afforded me the opportunity to live these values in the workplace, for which I am truly grateful.


I was immediately drawn to Signature because of the culture and principles the organisation aspires to. I joined the Signature team in 2017, and I am now passionately working with the community and team here to take the home’s services forward. The team and I are fully committed to embedding the core principles of empathy, care, compassion and integrity into the Highgate community.
