What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Highmarket House care home.

The staff demonstrate a great deal of empathy and respect in their work… they gently encourage my loved one to clean and dress herself, but they are always on hand if she needs help. Whenever they have any concerns they phone me, they are very proactive at bringing things to my attention and they don’t hold anything back. My loved one thinks they are her friends, because that is how she is treated.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

My loved one has dementia and they are very well versed on how to deal with people with dementia. They have a terrific activities program to keep the residents active and engage their minds in different ways, and it's designed to cater for people with varying capabilities... arts and crafts, day trips, entertainers coming in, exercise classes, games, they bring in owls... actual owls!

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff are amazing! They are all regular staff and they make the time to spend one on one time with residents, to get to know them and figure out what each person likes. I regularly chat with them and I'm always kept in the loop about what's going on and invited to meetings and social events.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff are really kind and they all seem to enjoy their job.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

I think the care has been excellent!
