Highlands is a generally very good facility, however when my mother moved in 5 years ago it was sold to us as a residential home, now it is very much a care home which means a lot of the staff's time is taken up with more time consuming duties leaving little "time/quality/compassionate time" for residents
who need less physical care.

The home is very friendly and welcoming. It is very clean, the seating areas are lovely and bright with books and a lovely fish tank to help relaxation. The staff are so lovely and kind and the food appears excellent judging by the menus and smells from the kitchen. The gardens are magnificent with
river views and lots of seating areas. There is also a lovely pond at the front of the home.

Reply from Johanna Edmeades, Manager at Highlands Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you found Highlands to be welcoming and comfortable. We take great pride in maintaining a clean and inviting space, and it's wonderful that the seating areas, fish tank, and gardens stood out to you. Our team works hard to provide excellent service, and we're glad to know you enjoyed the atmosphere. The river views and pond are truly special, and we're happy you could experience that beauty. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you

My sister and myself knew as soon as we walked into this home it was the right one for our 101 year old mother (after seeing many before). Mum has settled in and is comfortable with all staff, as we found them to be caring, understanding, kind and professional in all their duties. If any matter needs
attention it is dealt with quickly and efficiently.

My mother has been very happy and is well looked after. The food is all prepared on site and is excellent.
I am kept informed of any problems. The staff are always helpful and provide the residents with stimulation.

My father has been at Highlands Care Home for a number of years. He is comfortable and cared for but still able to maintain some of his own independence which is very important to him. High standards of care, cleanliness and support are clearly maintained. The food choice is excellent and flexible to
individual preferences (within reason). I have been very happy with the people who care at Highlands - there is stability which leads to a better knowledge of individual residents likes/dislikes - I have got to know several of the carers reasonably well and without exception they are lovely.

My father spent the final three years of his life at Highlands. He was well cared for, especially during the difficult pandemic times. The home is both warm and welcoming, and the care staff are of the highest order. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

My mother had three falls in 24-hours and ended up in hospital. We realised she could no longer live alone. She was registered with Highlands and they responded quickly saying she could come straight from the hospital. She did actually go home for three days, with help, so we could pack. On arrival
at Highlands, the staff were so kind, gentle and efficient. I, obviously, could not go in but their respite room was on the ground floor so we could talk through the window. Later she moved to a lovely larger room and we were allowed in to set it up for her with her belongings. The facilities provided were excellent, she particularly enjoyed the Scrabble club. The last two weeks of her life were not easy but I was allowed in daily and even my husband once to say goodbye. She recognised him which was wonderful. They rang my brother to suggest he might like to come. The staff could not have done more for her. They were also very supportive to relatives giving as much time as was needed to answer questions. I cannot speak more highly of Highlands. Mother was very lucky to have been there.

Highlands is a very friendly and caring residential home. Limiting the number of residents to 20 ensures a very personal service, giving peace of mind all around. Communication is excellent and family can rest assured that their loved ones are in good hands. Importantly too, it represents good value
in terms of fees, with resources being well managed as a not for profit organisation.

My mother was looked after so well by everyone at Highlands, all the staff are local people many have worked there for years and their children as well. They can't do enough. We didn't know what to expect but it exceeded all our expectations. Beautiful gardens to enjoy, great food and all the residents
are great company, especially over Sunday lunch. Nothing nicer than sitting in the conservatory having tea and homemade cakes with my mother and other residents. Lots of activities - book club, manicures, gardening, music, films, games. There's just a really nice atmosphere there. Lovely private rooms and nothing too much trouble for the staff. Our family can highly recommend Highlands to anyone thinking about residential care.

Highlands Care Home

My mother lived here for 2-3 years after a stroke left her wheelchair-bound at the age of 92. All her needs were taken care of in a professional friendly manner. She had a light airy room with space for her personal furniture items.
The staff were consistently polite and attentive to her and us
as her family. They managed to give her last years, from an active lady to being wheelchair-bound, a great sense of dignity. We were able to visit at most times of the day, the tea-time cakes being a particular favourite of my sister's, and no friend to the diet conscious.
My mother was impressed with the loyalty of the staff, some working well into retirement age. I don't claim to know scores of other care homes to compare Highlands with, but I am completely confident that this home ranks as one of the best, not least for location, staff, food and commitment.

My Mother arrived at Highlands and was immediately welcomed into the home with warmth, care and enthusiasm. Highlands has a cosy family atmosphere, but most importantly the staff are the best thing about it. They all give exceptional attention and sensitivity to all the residents and my Mum would love
to chat with them, their humour and laughter brightening the dullest of days.
The meals are wonderful and I did start to time my arrival at tea time, so we could chat over the tea and cakes on offer! My Mother would always say how lucky she was that they had a room for her, and how fortunate she was to have on offer the gardens and far-reaching views of the Deben.

Reply from Suzanne Brammer, Digital Marketing Officer at Highlands Care Home

Thank you for such a lovely review, we are pleased to hear how happy you are with Highlands and the level of care your mother received here.
