  • High Broom Care Home, Crowborough
High Broom Care Home is full of character with bedrooms that vary in shape and size but all are pleasant and well proportioned.

All residents have their own room, most are single rooms but some are suitable for use by couples. All rooms have TV and telephone points and a 24-hour on-call bell. Most rooms are en-suite and a centrally located lift provides easy access to the first and second floors.

High Broom has a number of close care cottages that are built around a pleasant courtyard and provide a little more space and greater independence, coupled with the peace of mind of knowing that help is near at hand.

High Broom has extensive gardens, set in 32 acres of parkland, which can be enjoyed by all. The gardens are regularly visited by a wide variety of birds as well as deer, badgers, foxes, squirrels and rabbits.

Ramps, handrails and plentiful seating mean that residents can enjoy these beautiful surroundings all year round.

My Mother has been a resident of High Broom for two years now and throughout her time, she has been cared for with kindness and compassion.
The entertainment caters for all abilities and interests, making a personal relationship with both staff and residences very special.
Since the Covid-19 virus
started back in April, all residence families have been notified of High Brooms progress with updates weekly giving reassurance to all.
This was so important at this difficult time.
I can't recommend this care home any higher, not just for the food quality, variety as well and worldwide dishes too!
Beautiful grounds to walk in or just sit and look at for all.

Embraced my fathers very individual needs with humour and enthusiasm. Constantly met the challenge to keep him physically active and involved, requiring thinking outside the box. Continually evolving their dementia support to cope with a wide range of mental decline including our father, who does not
tick normal boxes or present in a more commonly acknowledged dementia fashion. Truly beautiful gardens and a non-institutional building which provides a proper homely atmosphere carefully overseen by resident cats. More independent living provided in delightful cottages within the grounds from which we benefited before a decline in mental capacity.

My Mum has been at High Brooms for 2-years, and I have absolutely no issues. The staff are amazing, their attention to detail is outstanding, and nothing is too much trouble. I couldn't be happier, especially when you hear such horror stories about care homes. My Mum is the least of my worries as I
know she is safe, happy, and getting all the care she needs! Thank you all so very much.

My mother has been a resident for over 3-years and has been well looked after as her physical health has deteriorated due to old age and health complications.
As she has full-mental capacity, it has been good to see how staff have respected her independence and intelligence and given her the utmost
care and attention when coping with her personal needs. I have found the manager to be excellent and always flexible, approachable and willing to respond to any queries we may have. The staff are very caring and work tirelessly to ensure everyone's needs are met and residents feel safe and secure. The home is bright, cheerful and very well maintained by a dedicated team. The activities put on for residents cater to a wide audience and range of abilities, special events are always special. The team deserve their Outstanding rating and myself and family are very appreciative of the hard work, support and kindness that they never fail to deliver.

This is a wonderful care home in a beautiful setting.
My mother was previously in another care home and was unhappy. Since being at High Brooms; she’s never been happier.
The staff are attentive, kind and so helpful.

The staff lead by the manager have been fantastic during lockdown. The decision was made to lockdown early and to date, they have been free from any infection (long may it continue). This was made possible because of the commitment of all the staff to make sure the residents remained safe while a sacrifice
to their own freedom of movement and families, I am sure. High Broom has provided excellent care for both my Mum and Dad, who have different needs and requirements. The attention to detail and the continual monitoring and discussions with residents and family is excellent. The rooms are clean and bright with friendly staff on had to assist as and when needed or necessary. Last week was Mum's 100th Birthday and while we were not able to visit in person the staff arranged an excellent celebration for Mum and set up a zoom call for us all to celebrate together. The Birthday cake made by the kitchen team was fantastic. Thank you all at High Broom.

High Broom is a friendly, caring home, where my mother is treated with kindness and dignity. The staff are very approachable, always smiling and look after the residents with care, respect and compassion. There are always activities for the residents to join in and the Christmas day, party activities

My Grandmother has lived here since May and she has settled extremely well. The staff are amazing, making you feel confident that she is well looked after. The home has a warm feel about it making it feel like home. As a visitor, you feel like one of the family. There are plenty of activities within
the home that are made accessible to everyone if they wish to participate. I would highly recommend High Broom Care Home if you are looking for somewhere home from home with a warm feel.

I have known this resident for over 55 years. At ninety-two, and following a number of falls needing care. I try to visit once a week, and already know how special this home is. I cannot think of any negatives house, grounds and rooms are always clean and tidy.
However, the best comments relate to
activities and staff. Activities twice daily and such wonderful caring staff, always smiling, always willing to help out, such a pleasure to visit and see how well my friend thrives here.
Let's hope when it's my turn I find somewhere half as good.

High Broom Care Home is always very tidy, clean and plenty of activities going on. The gardens are superb and well looked after. There is a low turnover of staff, which ensures good continuity of care and indicates
the staff are happy as well as residents. If I needed to go into a care home, High Broom Care Home is one I would choose myself.

I continually recommend High Broom Care Home, to others over the years my mum has been a resident. She has received such amazing care, love and understanding. The staff are amazing, the home is spotless, homely and the residents are encouraged to join in the carefully planned activities. Already dressed
for Christmas, this place is second to none.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for High Broom Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.810 for High Broom Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.81

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for High Broom Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
