Overall Experience

My mother-in-law was admitted to Highgrove in May 2024 and remained in their care until the end of her life in August 2025.
My mother-in-law and the family were treated with care and respect throughout her stay, and we recommend Highgrove unreservedly. Thank you.

Reply from Angela Moore, Manager at Highgrove Residential Home

Thank you for your review of our services, we are pleased you felt the staff went above and beyond for you. It is always helpful to receive active feedback whilst residents are in the home so we could have looked to improve our scores which didnt quite make the mark on this occasion, we will look at ways to improve on these areas, thank you once again.

Overall Experience

Mam has been in Highgrove for rehab after a stroke, the staff are wonderful both to me and my mam, the food mam has really enjoyed, and my mam can be funny with her food at home, so well done to all kitchen staff as well. The home is lovely and clean. The rooms are also clean, and the furniture is great.

Thanks again to all you have given my mam.

Overall Experience

My mum had to come into Highgrove for rehabilitation after suffering a broken hip. She is 102 years old and was lucky to survive but even luckier to be placed in such a caring environment. She was there for a total of 6 weeks and recovered sufficiently to be able to go home with support . The care she

received was outstanding from everyone but she had a lovely bond with several members of staff. The management team were very professional and communication fabulous . . Unfortunately since leaving her health deteriorated and has been placed in another care home as there was no place at Highgrove, we are gutted as a family ! The carers are equally lovely where she is but the environment isn't in the same league . Thankyou for all your care we are very grateful and wish she could have returned to your care

Reply from Angela Moore, Manager at Highgrove Residential Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our services, it always means so much when we know we have made a difference, Im also pleased for both you and your mum that she is now back with us for a some more tender loving care.

Review from B C (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Highgrove is a care home of the highest level, made so by all the staff. Dad came here in January 2024 from difficult times, following 8 months in previous care homes. Highgrove management made time for me to discuss the situation and what they could do for Dad. From the start, the management/senior

team did everything to support us, in getting Dad moved and working to settle him in. It wasn't easy, but they didn't give up on him. Not only did I finally feel supported, but I knew that Dad would receive the care he needed. I was given constant updates, the doctors and nurses that do the weekly rounds here are just as supportive.
Dementia care is so difficult but everyone within Highgrove was so warm and friendly. Just a lovely care home, where all within work their hardest. I can't thank the staff enough for the care, understanding, compassion and support. The lengths they went to to ensure Dad was supported throughout, right up to his end-of-life care. Thank you will never seem enough.

We as a team can't thank you enough for meaningful review of our service, it is truly overwhelming when we receive such kind words. We all aim to do our utmost for all every day, even when at times can be challenging. It's comforting to know that it is recognised.

Overall Experience

I was recommended Highgrove by my friend whose dad had been cared for there and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who faces the very difficult decision to place a loved one into care. The staff are extremely friendly approachable and helpful from the management team who went over and above to

arrange my mum's placement to the carers around the home everyone is so dedicated caring respectful and good-humoured even when faced with the most confused and difficult patients. Everywhere is kept clean and tidy bright and warm lots of activities and a very nice hairdresser. Well done Highgrove.

Overall Experience

Over the years I have visited nursing homes throughout the UK in a professional capacity the Highgrove would definitely rate in the top 5. The staff are very understanding and caring and nothing is too much trouble if your nearest and dearest need attention.
They go that extra mile when it comes to

looking after the clients and providing activities such as bingo baking bowling and many more. My mum who has been in Highgrove for 8 weeks and is nearing her 100th Birthday really enjoyed her stay.
From the front desk reception to all the caregivers all make you feel welcome on your visit. The cleanliness and the upkeep of the Highgrove are to a very high standard. I would personally recommend this nursing home to anyone thinking about taking that very big decision with a family member.
Thank you to all the staff.

Review from S S (Relative of Resident) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We were in a crisis moment as a family trying to care for our loved one and Highgrove was the only home we found who would take her at such short notice. They listened to the urgent need and were so understanding and yet honest about what we could expect. I do believe they saved her life by giving her

the respite she was so desperate for. In her time at Highgrove, she was so well cared for, well fed and safely held in a stimulating environment as her mind and body grew stronger. Over time, she began to flourish. I cannot say too strongly how grateful we are. Do know that the work you do and the care you provide really do mean the world to those who receive it and the families who love them. Thank you so much.

Review from Helen P (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We came across Highgrove Care Home by chance, as they were the only home with a respite care bed available upon Mum's discharge from hospital in May 2023. How fortunate we were that they were the ones with availability, it quickly became apparent that this was a sudden decline in Mum’s dementia. This

was a journey we had not experienced with any relative previously and every single one of the care home staff not only provided the most compassionate and dedicated care for my mum but provided us as a family too, with the most invaluable support in terms of information and compassion when we struggling to make sense of how the path of decline in Mum's health within the adult social care system would pan out. My mum spent just 9 months with the team here before she sadly passed away in January of this year (2024) and right until the end, they were there every step of the way as if she was a family member to them too. What a truly incredible team of individuals you are. Thank you!

I was taken to Highgrove in November 2023. From the first moment there I was made to feel welcome and safe. I had a ground-floor room and it was lovely. The staff listened when I asked questions and if possible gave answers. I received very good care, the staff were so patient and caring. The choice

of food was very good, you had choices. I was scared when I was placed here but my fears were unfounded. I was in for approximately five weeks. If I had to go back then, yes please.

Overall Experience

An outstanding care home. The facilities are extremely clean, the staff are respectable and nothing is ever too much of an ask. Any concerns were resolved in good time and staff are always happy to support.
Our experience of Highgrove was incredible. Dad was very welcomed, he settled pleasantly and

remained well cared for until the very end. Staff always remained very professional and communication from them was exceptional.
During and after my grandad's passing the staff remained outstanding and worked with such dignity. No thanks will ever be great enough.

Overall Experience

My stay in Highgrove was a good experience initially I had a weight-bearing boot which needed 2 members of staff when I needed to use the toilet. This was a 5-week period but during the night was difficult to get 2 people to carry out this procedure as they were busy, doing perhaps a 2-person job, but

embarrassing when one had an accident. I was then given an aero boot and a walker so was able to take myself to the bathroom. Had 1 bath and 2 showers, would have liked more but them again needed 2 staff who were not available.

Reply from Angela Moore, Manager at Highgrove Residential Home

Thank you for your review of our service following your recent funded short stay, it is disappointing that the issues you mention weren't raised while you were here so we could have looked to resolve them thus resulting in a better review but we take your comments on board as we are always looking for ways to improve. We wish you well for the future and hope you are continuing to improve in health since returning home.
