What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Highmarket House care home.

Very well organised social club lunch with a friendly atmosphere.

Social club attendee, January 2023

I can’t thank you enough for the trouble you went to for Mum's wake. Everyone was impressed with the home, especially the fantastic buffet laid on by Chef Michelle. Please extend my sincere appreciation to everyone that played a part in Mum's care. You're doing a great job, as I always knew you would.

Daughter of a resident, August 2022

The first time I visited Highmarket House I knew that this was the home I wanted for Mum. The home is warm and welcoming with great amenities, fantastic dietary options and wonderful bedrooms furnish to a high standard. Since Mum has been here our home life has also improved dramatically. We no longer have the constant worry about Mum being alone or safe. She has everything she needs and in turn so do we!

Relative of a resident, December 2020

Highmarket House is a real gem. The care team are so thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable but also fun with a great sense of humour. There’s an amazing array of activities arranged to keep everyone occupied and to help make friends.
