We are always available to lend a helping hand, whether it’s simply providing them with companionship or engaging in friendly conversations. We are thrilled to be of service in any way possible to our residents.

The design of Highwood Care Home is purpose-built with our residents as the top priority. Our main aim is to create a warm and welcoming environment for those that reside with us, fostering a sense of belonging. Our commitment to delivering high-quality care to residents extends to supporting their loved ones, ensuring we consistently offer advice and support when they need it the most. Building strong bonds among our staff, residents, and their families has always been essential to us. This allows us to always offer our residents the best quality of life.

Our personalised approach has empowered us to create individualised care plans for every resident, meaning we can provide a continuum of care. We are deeply committed to offering a home where our residents enjoy unlimited access to a diverse array of amenities, enhancing their daily lives. At Highwood Care Home, we particularly focus on the unique personalities that our residents bring to our community.

Encouraging Our Residents’ Interests

We understand that making the decision to move either yourself or a loved one into a care home is a difficult one that takes a lot of time and consideration. We firmly believe that the independence of our residents shouldn’t disappear when they live with us, no matter their needs. Our dedicated team at Highwood Care Home ensure that residents can maintain their independence and dignity by taking part in the activities that bring them joy, whilst still receiving 24/7 support. Everybody deserves a life where they feel supported and comfortable at all times, which is one of our many values at Highwood Care Home.

Person-Centred Care Plans

Each resident has their own set of unique needs and preferences, so why should they receive a standardised level of care? Our team take pride in the tailored care we offer to each of our residents, which is supported by the personalised care plans we create before they move in. We strive to produce exceptional care for our residents, and our tailored care plans give us the opportunity to consistently go above and beyond. Getting to know our residents and building bonds with them and their loved ones is essential to us, as it means we can offer them the way of life they deserve.
