The staff were all really helpful and took good care of my Father. The carers all have a demanding job and cope admirably. I couldn't thank them enough.

Review from Margaret R (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Highgrove since November 2016. Although she never wanted to go into a home she settled in very well and she says she could not be in a better home. She is always praising the food and telling me what lovely meals she has. The home is always kept immaculate, it is light and
airy throughout and it is a pleasure to visit. Various activities are organised regularly each week for residents. All the staff are wonderful to mum and do their best for her. Whenever I visit, I am always made to feel extremely welcome and feel ‘at home’ whenever I spend time with mum. Having been a regular visitor for over 18 months, I have got to know all the staff and cannot praise them enough for the job they do - they are an excellent team and a credit to Highgrove. I would have no hesitation recommending Highgrove to anyone seeking a well run, safe, caring home for their loved ones.
Reply from Angela Moore, Manager at Highgrove Residential HomeJust to say thank you from the team at Highgrove for your kind words, they are much appreciated and will be shared with all staff.

Kind regards

Review from Ann E (Wife of Resident) published on 16 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was transferred to Highgrove from the hospital for rehab after a hip operation. Although he was not looking forward to going there we were both pleasantly surprised, the rooms are very nicely furnished, very clean. First impressions the hall is very welcoming and there is no smell which is
often associated with homes. The food was excellent always freshly cooked, I cannot praise the staff enough, always pleasant, nothing is too much trouble for any of them. My husband was looked after very well, it is a very good nursing home with kind caring staff. A very worthwhile experience for him, he came home much better than when he arrived there. Thank You to all involved.

My mum has been at Highgrove since August 2016 she didn't want to go into residential care at first but she is extremely happy there.
Highgrove is very well run and the staff are wonderful nothing is too much trouble so the care my mum receives is of the highest standard. The home is spotlessly clean
and never smells which I think is fantastic. They have an activities lady who comes in most days and has something for everyone to do. I cannot praise the home, staff and management enough. It has given me peace of mind excellent.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father-in-law had dementia we were always welcome to visit any time. He was always clean and comfortable and well fed the carers both male and female always had time for him. The home arranged all his doctors and hospital appointments and kept us informed. The staff were friendly and approachable
and could answer any questions we had. He had regular haircuts and chiropody appointments.

My mother went into Highgrove on the 14/8/15 until the 18/8/15, just for me to have a break hoping she would like to stay! Long term! She praised all the staff but there was no activities that weekend. The only fault I had was that someone put wet nightgown and dirty wet flannel all in one bag with
good quality knitted clothes.

Review from Stephen G (Son of Resident) published on 7 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my mum was diagnosed with vascular dementia 5 years ago, my sister and I did a detailed due diligence on suitable care homes in our area.


Having selected Highgrove, we have not been disappointed. During her time there she has always been well looked after. Recently, her condition began to deteriorate

and I have to say that the care from the staff there has been nothing short of exemplary throughout her final days.


Our heartfelt thanks to all the staff involved. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.952 for Highgrove Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (218 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.952
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highgrove Residential Home is based on 19 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 = 3.975
    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 19 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.
