Highfield Nursing Home is a beautiful converted Victorian Gentleman's Residence that is now fitted and fully-resourced for modern care requirements, with the addition of a purpose-built extension specifically designed for dementia patients.

A secluded outdoor courtyard is popular with residents, as is the welcoming communal lounge area where they can enjoy the daily scheduled activities which also include trips out or, if preferred residents can enjoy some quiet time in one of the quiet seating areas. Fresh, homemade meals can be enjoyed in the dining area.

Other facilities at Highfield include a hairdressing salon, an all inclusive laundry service and access to video calling to keep in touch with family and friends.

From day one, the home is structured around person-centred goals, with the aim of promoting independence, supporting a relaxing lifestyle and better quality of life.

Lost my dignity as no door on the toilet for over two weeks, but the carers who washed me were brilliant. Management, I didn't know them.

Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Highfield Nursing Home

Thank you for your review of Highfield Nursing Home. We are so sorry for the issue regarding your toilet door, which we tried very hard to resolve during your stay with us. We are so glad you were pleased with the care you received from our brilliant Highfield team.

At present, my experience is confined to my room as I am coming to the end of my isolation period. I am finding it very relaxing, reassuring and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for any staff member at any time of the day or night. The care and attention I am receiving is superb and everyone is
very friendly and helpful.

Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Highfield Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful words about Highfield Nursing Home. It is a very challenging time for everyone but our main priority has been to ensure that you are cared for and supported during your period of isolation. We are delighted to have you as part of our Highfield family.

Dad came in from the hospital after an extremely bad fall. He has received excellent care while here from both NHS and care home staff. He has been looked after both physically and mentally and now is at a point where he will be able to go home. His room is excellent, a good size, bright and airy. Food
has been excellent, everything he likes to eat. Lovely staff, friendly, helpful and caring. Excellent Covid measures in place.

I would not hesitate to recommend Highfield to anyone, from the very first contact with them they have been amazing and the care they provide is second to none. They treat every resident with dignity, compassion and respect and take the time to get to know them as people. The home is always clean, smells
fresh and well maintained and the staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. They have a wide range of activities for the residents to get involved in and have done a fantastic job adjusting to the constraints that Covid has enforced. We have been able to stay in touch through video calls and socially distanced visits in a very safe way and now they are managing the testing to allow closer contact visits very well.
It is such a hard decision to admit a loved one into a nursing home but Highfield worked with us to make it as stress-free as possible and we can’t thank them enough for the outstanding work that they are doing.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.280)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.280) out of 10 for Highfield Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.610 for Highfield Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 105 Ratings = 4.61

  • 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 4.67 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Highfield Nursing Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.87

  • 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.
