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.

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!

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.

RK, December 2020

My mother moved into Highmarket House just before the Covid-19 lockdown. She has been well looked after - from daily care and meals to all the activities and entertainment. It has been wonderful to be able to have socially distance garden visits and we are looking forward to when restrictions are eased further.

Relative of a resident, December 2020

My mother has been a resident at Highmarket House since late 2017 and has received excellent care in a very pleasant environment for all that time. She has enjoyed group activities such as crafting and singing and also receives individual attention addressing her needs. Members of staff spend time getting to know the residents as individuals.

SJ, December 2020

My 96-year-old mother went to Highmarket House initially for a short period of respite. The staff were brilliant and the facilities great. She is now there as a permanent resident with no complaints.
