At Highcroft Hall the team, several of whom have been with the home for around 10 years, are devoted to enriching the lives of their residents. They support them to have an active role to play in how their home is run, giving them a true sense of belonging and purpose.

Providing residential and dementia care, they also offer respite care breaks, which can be booked in advance. These are ideal for family carers who would like to plan a short break themselves.

There are beautiful spaces to relax in. The garden room is a tranquil area to enjoy and there is a cinema room, complete with a popcorn machine for movie afternoons.

There is a vintage café and a hair and beauty room, with a mobile hairdresser visiting every week, as well as welcoming lounges. And the bedrooms are all beautifully decorated, with ensuite walk-in wet rooms.

The residents enjoy wonderful activities, from pamper sessions and pub lunches to the gardening club. This summer they have loved growing their own produce, with everything from tomatoes and radishes to cucumbers and lettuces, proudly harvesting it for the chef to use in the kitchen. Seeing how popular the gardening has been, the home’s maintenance operative has built more raised planters which can be used by the residents in wheelchairs, ready for this year.

And talking of food, the home’s chef of over 10 years prepares delicious home-cooked meals for the residents. His specialities are his freshly made cakes and pastries, especially chocolate eclairs and scones, which the residents enjoy for afternoon tea.

The team are passionate about keeping those community connections alive. Students from the local high school come in every week to spend time with the residents, and every month the local church run a service in the home.

And there are regular trips to see their fellow residents at Sanctuary Care’s nearby care home, to enjoy activities and friendship.

In the round, we are very pleased with the care provided mum at Highcroft Hall. It is our first experience of placing a parent in care so I am not sure what 'excellent' might look like. However on all attributes below we feel the service is good to excellent.

My Mom recently passed in Highcroft after being with them for over 8 years. I want to praise the care and support she received during her time. The staff on the top floor were very good- one staff member in particular was wonderful during her stay and her last days. Thanks to the team.

My aunt is currently a resident, and my mother was here for a short while before she passed away. I think the staff here are wonderful, they treat the residents with dignity and respect. The home is always clean with a welcoming atmosphere. Perhaps the entertainment and activities could be improved
a little. But the overall standard of care is is excellent.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home

Mom has been cared for extremely well and all her needs have been met in full by exceptional staff and management. Mom is very happy there and there is always a friendly atmosphere and regular activities laid on for everyone. The opportunity for trips out is also a good way to bring back memories and
socialise. Very happy to recommend Highcroft Hall after the experience both Mom and myself have experienced.

My father has been cared for at Highcroft Hall now for over two years, the facilities are very good and the staff and management are very caring and friendly to deal with. Visiting is really easy and turn up as and when we want with good parking. Dad is very comfortable there and his room and ensuite
bathroom are in mint condition at all times. Communication is great.

I am very happy with the care at Highcroft Sanctuary care. My mother has been there since March 2023. The staff are lovely and caring and always have time to talk in their busy schedule. Management are always approachable and welcoming. I feel happy that my mother is in a safe and caring place.

Dad has been at Highcroft Hall now for over a year and we are so pleased with the genuine care, love and attention he receives every day. It was a very difficult decision for dad to go into care, but we have piece of mind that the team supports dad with his needs. There are plenty of activities, entertainment
and the staff really make a fuss of dad which lifts his wellbeing. We are regularly asked if we want anything added to his care plan and any potential concerns are addressed and actioned. A huge thank you to the manager and all the wonderful staff that all work really hard.

She first went in for respite and was made so welcome and at ease by all the management and staff. She asked if she could live there and give her home up, so we know she must feel happy and safe to do that. We have seen a marked improvement in her. Many thanks to all.

Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home. It's wonderful to hear your mum was content and chose to stay with us at Highcroft Hall. It really is the biggest compliment to our team at the home. Best wishes, Fae

Nan entered the home as a respite care case with the intention of only staying for a few weeks. Nan quickly became comfortable in her ensuite room. One huge difference between Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home and the previous facility none attended is that she has the freedom to choose where she
spends her time. Nan has enjoyed her time here so much that she has decided to stay as a permanent resident.

Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your review! It's so wonderful to hear that your nan has decided to make her move to Highcroft Hall permanent and that she likes the creature comforts. Respite care is often a great way to see if a residential home could be the next step, and your nan must agree! Best wishes, Fae

My mother went into Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home to start with two weeks respite and decided herself she wanted to stay. The care she gets from all the staff is wonderful, they make her feel safe. Would definitely recommend Highcroft Hhall, thanks to all the staff for looking after Mum and putting
me and my family at ease knowing she's got 24-hour care.

Mom desperately needed respite care, so we applied for Highcroft Hall, mom was very reluctant after Respite at a different home, The manager at Highcroft did a home visit and gently won her round. The initial stay was 2 weeks, the first week was hard as she only had a memory of the previous one, slowly
they built up her confidence and we were surprised when she wanted to stay another week, then an extra week, 4 weeks in total, she started to be like our Mom again, not a constant worry for her safety and wellbeing. The fourth week came and she then decided that being on her own again wasn't what she wanted, so she made the decision to become a permanent resident, which for us as a family was a massive relief. She is looking better than she has in a very long time, put a bit of weight on, and the staff are amazing. They are so caring and you can tell from just being in there that they all enjoy what they do, attend when you want, very clean and we are so thankful to this fabulous team.

Mom has been a resident at Highcroft Hall since January this year. Previously she had been in and out of hospital every couple of months even with four care visits a day. Since she has been at Highcroft Hall she has not been ill once. She is much happier and healthier than she had been for the previous
couple of years-testament in itself of the amazing care, support and friendship provided by the wonderful staff and management. Mom feels that it is her home and it is lovely to visit her there.

My mom has been a resident since April 2020 and has always been looked after by the staff well. Unfortunately, her health has deteriorated recently. The home contact me regularly regarding my mom's well being, updates from the GP and any changes in her medication. Mom is happy and always smiling. The
staff treat her with dignity and respect.

Staff are always so welcoming and warm, we were shown to our lovely table decorated for the platinum jubilee which we shared with my dad. The food was beautiful and we felt thoroughly spoilt, it was so nice to eat a meal with my dad, and Dad really enjoyed it too. The entertainment was lovely, I felt

My mom went into Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home for respite care after coming out of the hospital. The team were brilliant from my first call and organised a room and care at short notice when we were quite anxious. The rooms are excellent as is the quality of care she has received, the staff
are friendly and accessible, and we really appreciate the little things that are available like having a hairdresser on site. Mom has recovered much better than she would have done at home and having access to 24-hour care is reassuring for us all. Hopefully, she will transition back to living in her own house shortly. I am very happy to recommend HIghcroft Hall Residential Care Home and would like to say a huge thank you to all the team who are providing her care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Highcroft Hall Residential 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.789 for Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.789

  • 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 Highcroft Hall Residential Care Home is based on 12 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
