My mum has been a resident at Highcroft for 5 years. They provide lots of activities and encourage all the residents to take part. The home had a packed schedule of activities for December and they took my mum to the cinema which she enjoyed. I feel that they do take good care of her. She is always
well presented and the facilities are always very clean. And they make sure that she is eating and drinking regularly.
Overall, I would say that all the staff are dedicated to providing the highest level of care to the residents.

My father in law has been resident at Highcroft for almost three months. Prior to moving in her had started to become quite confused and had neglected to care for himself. The transformation has been remarkable and we are relieved that he is safe and being cared for.
Staff are friendly,
conscientious and helpful. I note that his bedding is changed on a very regular basis, he is eating well and staff ensure he is hydrated and active. He is clean shaven, has regular haircuts and visits from medical professionals. Highcroft was chosen partly because it is close to where we live which means we can visit regularly.
Residents are encouraged to visit the library and local community centre. There are lots of wonderful Christmas activities planned including a pantomime visit that we will encourage dad to take part is. Our relief at seeing him so well looked after is considerable. We're grateful to the wonderful team for all they do.

The staff are always pleasant, informative professional and emphatic. The manager is well informed and always has the time to speak with and deal with queries and issues in a timely and efficient way. I think she is doing an excellent job of ensuring service user engagement.
The owners are also
friendly and approachable and interact with families and service users when special events are put on.
My Aunt is always clean and well maintained, and her needs are being fully met from what I can see.

Highcroft care home. My mother was admitted to this home in July. We have found the staff to be extremely helpful, empathetic and knowledgeable. My mum has advanced dementia and needs constant care, with this she is treated respect, dignity and has settled in very well. I would highly recommend this
home, if you have to be in the unfortunate position to but a family member in a facility such as this.

My aunt has been a resident at Highcroft for almost six years now and we are extremely happy with the care given there. Although my aunt's dementia is quite advanced, Tosin and the team give her the care and support she needs, encouraging her to try and do small things herself as opposed to doing
everything for her therefore demonstrating the patience needed to look after people with additional care needs. Throughout the year, special events are held where family and friends can come together and be part of The Highcroft Family. The support is also extended to us (family) in our times of need.
The home is clean and the garden is well maintained.
It's very difficult when loved ones have to go into care however, Tosin and the staff offer the reassurance needed.

My dad has been at Highcroft for a month now and the care he's received has been transformational. The staff have been so welcoming and caring, and have not only looked after him brilliantly but also supported me so kindly, offering empathy and practical support in this difficult time while we're
coming to terms with dad's dementia. Tosin and the whole team at Highcroft are lovely - they make every effort to get to know each resident's needs, preferences, likes and dislikes and bring everyone into the fold, making them their favourite snacks, getting them involved in activities and social interaction. It's been so good for my dad - he'd not been looking after himself and it's so wonderful to see him with nice trimmed hair and clean shaven, looking as dapper as he used to! THANK YOU HIGHCROFT!

I'm really grateful and appreciate how much consideration and care Highcroft Care Home has given to my mum.

The staff have always made my mum feel comfortable. She has
great rapport with them. It's lovely to see my mum have a good laugh.
Her health and mobility has improved. When my family and I call and/or visit, they always inform us about how she is and any important information on her general health.

My mother became a resident in Highcroft earlier this year and my brother and I are extremely pleased with the care she has received since being there. All of the staff including the manager and owners are professional, approachable and caring. The residents are treated with dignity and respect.
There are regular outings, including visits to the library and also daily activities that take place in the home that we are able to view on social media with my mother taking part.
It is also satisfying to see that her mobility has improved considerably since she moved there as she has more space to move around in.
We recently attended the summer barbecue held in the garden at the home and a great time was had by all residents, family and staff.

We, as a family, are very pleased with the care home, staff are exceptionally very good, and I can’t praise them enough for always making us very welcome, and Mum is very happy here. When Mum moved in, she was very scared of what to expect, but the staff and management made her very at ease and
happy.

Mum has been a resident here since July 2023. She appears to have settled really well and have observed her mixing with other residents. Her eating and sleep patterns also seem to have improved. Staff at the home are welcoming and friendly and seem to be supporting Mother appropriately. I would
definitely recommend the unit to others.

As a regular serving member of the Royal Air Force, I came to know a resident at Highcroft Care Home, whom I have visited on occasion. My initial visit was one of total surprise, having visited other care homes before. The manager was most welcoming, as I presented Norman with a bespoke cake and
commemorative plaque for his birthday from the RAF. The manager made my visit very pleasing, to see the resident, an Ex WW2 Pilot, so happy and still very chirpy was satisfying. He was very complimentary of the staff and the care provided to him, he was most fond of the Manager and commented upon how well she has taken care of him. He alluded to his years of flying missions over Africa, keen spirited, he had his wits about him as he wanted to know what was going on in the 21st century RAF. To my delight, I was offered a cup of tea, by the manager who delightfully kept him in a comfortable atmosphere, where we lamented about our own experiences of the RAF. To the manager, well done to you.
18 June 2023
I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Highcroft Care Home. I cannot thank you enough for all the outstanding care and understanding you gave to my father over the past two and a half years of his life. He was so happy living at Highcroft and it was always comforting for me
to know how well he was being looked after. Thanks to the compassionate care and attention provided by all the staff, my father lived a longer and happier life. Everyone's commitment to his well being right up until the very end of his life will always be so appreciated. I was so grateful for the support and compassion that was shown both to my father and myself at that very difficult time. Thank you again to a really outstanding team for all your kindness and hard work.
