The staff are very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere has a family feel about it, staff interact with residents as if they have known them years.
Treating them as a good friend. They are busy and nothing is too much trouble. Someone is always around to speak to. The management have made this home
outstanding in my eyes. The hard work and dedication is evident throughout.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They are helpful and have settled my mum in very well both the managers are approachable and helpful.
The care home is clean and has no unpleasant smell of urine which assures me that all the residents are properly cared for. I was apprehensive at first, due
to past reports however, this care home has now been turned around completely. Fantastic.

Both my parents had to go into Highstone Mews together, it was a difficult time for them and us, but staff went above their duties to help them settle. Mum and Dad were well cared for, we knew they were safe and anything they wanted they could have. We visited daily so we were there a lot. I can honestly
say all the staff including office staff, cleaners and managers had a genuine bond with both my parents and looked after them amazingly and they helped us as a family too when we found things difficult. Both my parents passed away in the home (which was our wish) and the care and dignity they received up until the end was first class. Thank you to you all, but especially senior carers and all the care staff.

In my experience, over the last 5 years, Highstone Mews has now become a very friendly and helpful home. The staff have all the training they need to ensure that all residents have a caring environment and are led by a good management.

My husband was brought to Highstone Mews for rehabilitation. Since being here he has been treated extremely well. He receives daily physio and is improving daily. The staff are all caring and respectful and treat him really well.

My Mother has been in Highstone Mews for the past 4 years and since the new management came things have even improved more. All the staff are so helpful and I know I can contact them at any time day or night. I am very happy with my Mother's care and if there is a problem they always get in touch with
me.

We moved my wife to this care home from another care home (very poor treatment)! Been very happy with my wife's care at this care home, well looked after and treated with dignity. We have to travel to see her but I think she is very well looked after here and all staff are very kind and considerate.
(Super staff) I feel it is as good as you can wish for.

We have had considerable difficulty placing our Mum in a suitable care home but Highstone Mews was willing to admit her and their care, staff and general support has been fantastic, from admission onwards. Mum is now settled, had a full medication review and is coming along nicely. It is a pleasure
to visit the home, the welcome fabulous and the staff amazing!!

My mother came into Highstone Mews again for a long weekend. Whilst staying, staff noticed my mother wasn't well, they acted instantly getting her the care she needed. They kept me in the loop the whole time.
I am very grateful for what they did for my mother.

My nan stayed at Highstone Mews for a week, we never thought she would go in a home but she absolutely loved it, she said the rooms were nicely decorated and the staff always went that extra mile for her and the other residents. The meals were lovely. She is booked in again for a week.

The establishment was clean, care given was to a high standard and my mother was happy. Her room was slightly furnished with enough space for her belongings and she could talk to staff on a 1:1 level when wished.
Although there were activities, she was not able to take part due to her condition so
staff came in to give her support when the family could not get in.

My mother was recuperating well and initially enjoying her time at this residence. Her illness meant she could not get out of bed and so staff helped as much as possible when my brothers and sisters were not around. They knew when she was not feeling right and talked to her directly with care levels
not available at other places.

When Highstone Mews was owned by the previous managers I was very disappointed with the way the home was being run and how the residents were being cared for and lack of training for the staff but now the new managers have taken over I am starting to see improvements in everything I was recently disappointed
in. Keep up the good work.

Removed my sister from a very unsuitable care home. Popped into Highstone Mews without an appointment and was very impressed. Lovely caring staff, very clean and the manager is very helpful and understanding and kind. He helped arranged the transfer. I know my sister will be happy in Highstone Mews.
My sister's face lit up when we took her into the reception area. Thank you to the staff and manager at Highstone Mews.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.848) out of 10 for Highstone Mews 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.848 for Highstone Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.848

  • 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 Highstone Mews Care Home is based on 15 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
