My mum went to Highgrove for respite, and I can't get her home! She loves the staff, food, activities and says they get extra treats. She has recently had her birthday and was asked to choose a birthday meal and enjoyed a lovely celebration and homemade cake. She now wants to stay here with her new
friends!

My father and mother were residents only from October 2021 and sadly both have passed away recently. However, the care compassion and devotion shown by everyone at the home was second to none and I will be forever grateful to the managers and carers.

Review from Janet M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 December 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I never thought I would ever agree to let my mother go into a care home but there comes a point where you cannot cope and it’s the only way forward. From setting foot inside Highgrove Care Home my mind was put at ease. The staff were so welcoming, it felt like walking into an upmarket hotel. Her en
suite room was made more comfortable when they brought her a recliner chair and a TV.
The lounge areas were modern and well decorated.
The staff, everyone was so kind and caring they couldn’t do enough for my mum, they always had time for me when I was worried about my mum, encouraging us to phone any time day or night if we were concerned. I can’t praise the staff enough, they are angels in disguise.

Mum came to Highgrove for respite, she was not keen as never been in a care home before and didn't know what to expect. Mum agreed to give it a go. We came to collect Mum at the end of respite and she looked so well and asked when she could come back. Mum has been to see the hairdresser and enjoyed
the activities. Mum cried on leaving as she had made some good friends, future respite booked in (Mums choice) she's very happy.
Reply from Angela Moore, Manager at Highgrove Residential Home

My mum was admitted to Highgrove care home for rehabilitation and she always said that she would disown me if she had to go into a care home, well what a turnaround as now I can't get her home. She wants to stay there because everyone is so kind and helpful. She has made some friends and the highlight
of her days are meeting for activities and meals. They have a good old natter, giggle like teenagers and it is so nice to see her get her sparkle back. I just want to say thank you to all involved.

My father was very ill and frail when taken into Highgrove at the beginning of August, in fact, he spent his final weeks here. He was kept comfortable and well cared for throughout and had a peaceful end with his family by his side. The staff could not have done enough for us, and whilst adhering to
Covid regulations, we were able to visit Dad as often as needed and stay by his side towards the end. Highgrove gave us a positive end of life experience with Dad - we all had the best of care! Thank you to all involved.

My aunt was taken into this home for care and assessment needs until she could be assessed at her own home. The staff were all very accommodating, caring and strict with regards to the Covid safe practice. The home was very clean, and my aunt stated the food was very good. I would recommend this home
in the future and would hope my aunt could stay there on a permanent basis.

I was replied to on the phone helpfully. I was allowed to visit outside safely. My neighbour was brought outside with the things I had requested she had with her. She was taken to the toilet as she had asked twice. We were left in peace. I was able to speak personally with the manager about my concerns.

Thank you for your review of our service, it is always difficult for visitors to get the full picture of everything on a first visit and hopefully as the home opens up for more normal visits you will see for yourself that our service is 5 stars in all aspects.

Although my nan was only a resident at Highgrove for 3 weeks, I cannot fault the care, support and treatment she got in that time from everyone. After she passed away the staff treated her very well and with dignity. I would recommend the care home to anyone who is looking for one. Thank you Highgrove.

It's hard to describe how we as a family feel about my grandma living in Highgrove she has just blossomed, at home she was withdrawn and hard to engage with but at Highgrove when we visit she's chatty, bright-eyed, friendly with other residents, we often have to disturb her from her activity schedule.
We can't thank the staff enough, we have got our beautiful grandma back, thank you all. As a bonus to us, the home is always clean with no malodours that are sometimes linked with care homes, well done to all the team.

Mum stayed in this care home for respite and was looked after with great care and compassion and returned for the end of life care, she was looked after and kept clean and comfortable and treated with dignity. 10 out of 10. Brilliant care home, fantastic staff, can't thank them enough, being able to

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Highgrove Residential 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.962 for Highgrove Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.962
  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 Highgrove Residential Home is based on 18 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
