About High View
Here at High View, we are a residential care home based in Truro, Cornwall, and we support a wide range of people with varying needs and backgrounds. Our team works with older adults, younger adults, people living with a learning disability or autism, those with a physical disability, and individuals with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite care for people who need short term support, giving family carers a chance to rest while knowing their loved one is in a safe and familiar environment. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure everyone who lives here feels comfortable, respected, and genuinely at home. We try to get to know each person as an individual, understanding what matters to them day to day and building care around that rather than the other way around. We want to be honest with the people we support and their families. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as requires improvement, and we have taken that feedback seriously. We are actively working through the areas identified and making changes that we believe will make a real difference to the people in our care. We welcome that kind of scrutiny because ultimately it helps us do better. Our team in Truro is made up of people who genuinely care about the work they do, and we are committed to learning and improving as we go.
