This is a magnificent care home. There are no weak links at all. My wife is being looked after with meticulous attention, empathy and thoughtfulness. Add to that the level of professionalism which has surpassed all expectations. It is more than excellent. It is perfect.

As soon as my mother arrived she was made to feel at home and all the staff made such a fuss of her. Her accommodation is spacious, bright and beautifully clean. Every member of the staff is without exception professional, caring and genuinely thoughtful. The food is of 5-star standard. I would join
my mother for a meal every day if I could! We as a family did not know what to expect but the quality of the home is superb and the staff and their care have exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

My wife has been cared for by Signature for only three weeks. After an unhappy experience elsewhere Signature has proved to be an amazing discovery. I can now relax knowing she is in safe, caring hands. none of the staff wait to be asked but offer help non-stop. We all know that recruiting care staff
is tough but someone has chosen brilliantly. I see miles of smiles and I know where I am going for five-star care when I need help myself.

We were so glad to find Signature in Highgate for Mum after we'd experienced some very concerning problems at her previous care home.
As soon as you walk in, the place feels immediately like a five-star hotel, rather than a care home. They really encourage social events and activities, and for residents
to take part in everyday life as much as possible. Every member of staff we come across is friendly and welcoming and has time to chat.
A big shout out to two members of staff in particular who helped from our initial enquiry to organise Mum's transfer, and dealt with our endless questions.
It's a place we can feel happy when we walk out of the door, knowing that Mum is not just having her needs met, but being looked after like a guest.

My mother was extremely well cared for during her last few days. After a long and gruelling hospital stay, the staff restored her dignity and confidence. She had a lovely room and her wishes were quickly fulfilled.

Everyone and everything at Signature Bishops Avenue has been good. The staff are kind and obliging, and the restaurant and food are excellent. I have met interesting people and enjoyed the outdoor spaces during the sunny weather.

We - her family and friends are delighted with the care and kindness shown to her in the almost two months since she first arrived at Signature Highgate. I can do no better than to quote one of her closest chums who told us: 'She is far more relaxed, bright and content than we've seen for ages. So good
to see her doing so well.'

I am a private support worker for a resident at Signature at Highgate. When my friend recently returned back home to his residence at Signature at Highgate after a very nasty experience at the hospital. He was greeted back at Signature with open arms and all of the staff (both night and day) were incredible
with him and very attentive. He felt like he was back in a safe place with family which helped in his recovery. We are very grateful for the staff at Signature at Highgate.

Signature is a very high-end care home. Everything in a five-star hotel or cruise ship would be other than the food which is at a four-star level.

Signature has been life-changing. A fast and friendly service from the very first moment.
Knowing that your loved one is in good hands, with a well organised team and fantastic infrastructure is a massive relief at a point in time where most things seems quite dark.
The team judge well when not
to and when to be present; they are caring, kind and hard-working. Sensitive to my father's needs. Encouraging him to join the community as much as possible whilst respecting his wishes for privacy too.
All together the Signature experience has only enhanced my father's life and as a result his family's.

Signature at Highgate does not feel like a residential care home.
The staff are all attentive, helpful and subtle in the way that they support my mother so that they seem more like caring friends than carers. She can remain independent in all her choices and activities while accessing a full range
of in-house entertainment. As an example, saying that she likes opera, several operas have been screened in the cinema especially for her.
The facilities are more like a luxury hotel with food freshly prepared for each dinner from a small but varied and healthy menu. Guests are always welcome and can be hosted in her private apartment or the public lounges with free coffee and cakes provided. Saying that she likes granola for breakfast, it appeared on the menu by day 3!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) out of 10 for Signature at Highgate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 19 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 4.945 for Signature at Highgate is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 219 Ratings = 4.945

  • 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 4.99 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Signature at Highgate is based on 19 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 96 registered maximum number of service users is 19.2. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.99

  • 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.
