My nan was admitted to Highgrove due to her advancing dementia.
The staff took her in, showed her kindness and dignity in our family's hour of need. They were amazing with her, eased her distress and treated her as if she were their own family. They made this hard situation easy. We felt safe and
content she was in good hands. Cannot thank you enough. Amazing all around.

I wouldn't recommend any other care home for my friends and family. The Highgrove staff have gone above and beyond to support my grandad was was living with advanced dementia from the start to the very end. We, as a family, are very grateful to you all for all the care, love, and support you have
given. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. xxx

Utterly let down by this 'care' home.
Failed my mam, unsupportive of her needs, challenging her when she is sun downing! Totally escalating the issue rather than being professional, calm and caring.
They say they are very experienced with alzheimers and sun downing - not.
Karen is a fabulous,
caring, kind but other managers are childish, unprofessional and uncaring.
Have received threat after threat from management re fees and the threat of a 28 day notice which they are now about to issue!
Dont get old, infirm, the future is diabolical
Heartbroken for my poor mam

I brought my mum for 7 days respite care. I was really impressed and felt at ease leaving my mum here.
The staff were all really helpful, and Phillipa made the whole process really easy. Thanks to all!

My mum was in Highgrove Care Home for the last 15 days of her life, and I cannot praise the care and compassion shown to her by your carers and staff. I and my family thank you from the bottom of our hearts and will recommend your care home to all my friends.

Dad was very happy here; he made friends with the staff & residents.
His care from the staff was respectful, and he enjoyed his female hareem!
I would give them six stars if I could.
Thank you so much for looking after our Dad.

Highfrove took the time to fully understand my dad's care needs and were able to support him through the different stages of his dementia. I am grateful to the staff for the knowledge and information they gave me a long the way. I can see that everyone genuinely cared for my dad, which means a lot.

Highgrove and its staff are amazing and genuinely care. I could not wish for anywhere better for my mother to be. She is cared for and looked after so well. It is a daunting thing to happen when a relative goes into care, but I shouldn't have worried. My mother, who had become a 'bag of bones' &
unkempt, has put 1 stone on, looks well, and so cared for. Thanks to all at Highgrove.
PS The entertainment & games are excellent.

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.

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.

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

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.

From the day I went into the care home, I was very pleased. I could not believe my eyes, spot on everyone welcome you. They could do anything for you, it was as if you knew everyone. It's clean and the food is very good. I have told everyone about the place, excellent.
