We have been coming to this home for some years. It is a lovely place. We could not fault it in any way. Well done.

My husband is treated with respect and empathy. All staffs are very caring and knowledgeable with regards to my husband needs. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone.

As usual, I can't speak too strongly about how happy I am about my husband's stay at Highcliffe. The staff are so lovely to him, several of them going over and above their normal duties to do extra things for him. As he's become frailer they have adapted to his extra needs, e.g pureeing his good as he was prone to choking. Many of the staff including, housekeeping, maintenance and reception pop in to see him and share a laugh and a joke. He loved the staff and I can see they love him. I am very happy about his care and have no worries when I'm not there. It gives me peace of mind. Like I've said lately, even if I won the lottery, I would never dream of moving him. We love Highcliffe.

I can not thank the whole team at Highcliffe Nursing Home for what they do to look after my father this past year.

My father took a few days to settle down, but once he had, he enjoyed being in the nursing home. The staff were excellent and always happy to answer phone calls, and took my father out for a walk on a couple of occasions. My father was only staying for 2 weeks' respite, but if/when required again, he will definitely be going to Highcliffe. Thank you for all your care and delicious birthday cake.

From walking through the door and being welcomed by the deputy manager, we were impressed with Highcliffe Care Home. It is a light, modern, spacious and attractive home with a very peaceful atmosphere. We found all the staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We are very grateful for the care our daughter received during her short stay at Highcliffe Care Home.

The staff were extremely efficient and caring. Plenty of staff on duty. Activities were outstanding. Twice a day. Lots of music which my husband enjoyed. The 6 months he was there his quality of life was very good.

It is generally a lovely place, well managed, and with a vast majority of dedicated and patient staff who treat residents with respect and dignity. (Including my mum, I'm delighted to say). Let down a bit though by a few snotty members of staff, especially nurses (not all) who give out medicine and don't seem to like residents being taken out by their family! Who, in my opinion, is more suited to work in a hospital than a care home, and so won't have that problem. But this is minor compared with so many lovely staff who make it the friendly, homely, loving place it is.

I would not hesitate to recommend Highcliffe Nursing Home, they are professional, friendly, efficient and nothing is too much trouble for either the residents or the relatives. They even helped out when we had to adopt a little undercover work with the laundry and my mum never realised! We were so lucky my mum stayed at this nursing home, do not hesitate.

My mum is very happy and content in the Highcliffe Nursing Home, she has a good routine, she loves the food, which is always of the highest standard. She enjoys all the activities, which are thoughtfully planned. The staff are very supportive and friendly to my mum and the whole family. I thoroughly recommend it.

Before my husband decided to stay I was here for a little over a month. I was very pleased and reassured that he would be happy here and I was proved right.

All the staff are very helpful, patient, and gentle with the residents and friendly to me. The home is always clean and meals are good and well presented. I go in regularly and would certainly recommend this home.

Originally planned for a 4-week respite break but due to ongoing medical issues had to extend it to 12 weeks. The staff were very understanding and were happy to keep extending the care while my wife recovered from her illness. My father soon settled in and enjoyed his stay (He has early dementia). His room was lovely with an en-suite shower room. The staff were very happy and cheerful and always willing to help with any requests. Will use it again for respite care if necessary.

Highcliffe Nursing home is a wonderful place where the staff embrace you as part of their family. The attention to detail is second to none. Staying there is like being enveloped in a beautifully soft, fluffy cushion, whilst being smothered in love and care. Who could ask for more.

My husband who died recently was a resident at Highcliffe Nursing Home for about five and a half years. He was well cared for in every way. Unlike the previous home he was in, he never asked when he was coming home, and was always smiling, clean and well-fed. I visited the home regularly and only ever saw residents treated with respect and kindness.

I am a carer for a resident at this lovely care home, I come every Friday and take him out for lunch. Every time I have visited I have noticed just how lovely the staff (carers, nurses, care coordinators and admin/reception) are, not only to me but especially to the residents. The way they speak to them is so very gentle and kind. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who is looking for somewhere for a family member.
09 May 2024
My mother was only in Highcliffe for just over 4 weeks before she died. In that time she was very well looked after. The staff are very helpful and support the family throughout the process. Out of a number of care homes we visited when we entered Highcliffe we knew this was the one for our mother. Unfortunately Mum was not fit enough to make use of a number of the activities this care home offers its residents. I would recommend Highcliffe to anyone looking for a care home.
