About Highfield Care Home
Highfield Care Home sits in Tadcaster, and we offer residential care for older people, including those living with dementia. We are a care home rather than a nursing home, which means our focus is on helping people manage daily life well, with district nurses and GPs involved when clinical input is needed. Dementia care is a large part of what we do, and we try to approach it without fuss. Familiar faces, a steady rhythm to the day and rooms that people can make their own all help more than anything elaborate. When someone becomes anxious or unsettled, we look first at what might be behind it rather than reaching for a standard response. Life histories matter here, and we ask families to tell us about the person long before they came to us. We also support some younger adults whose needs suit a residential setting, and we are mindful that their days should not simply mirror those of much older residents. Interests, work, study and friendships still count. Respite stays are available too, either booked ahead so that a family carer can take a holiday or a rest, or arranged more quickly when circumstances change. Short stays sometimes help people decide whether a move into residential care is right for them, and there is no pressure either way. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering Highfield for themselves or a relative is welcome to come and look round, meet residents and ask us the awkward questions.
