About Highbury House
At Highbury House, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Our home supports people with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and younger adults who need a caring and stable place to live. We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step, and we work hard to make sure every person who lives with us feels genuinely at home. We take the time to get to know each individual, learning what matters to them, what they enjoy, and how they prefer to go about their day. That understanding shapes everything we do, from the support we provide to the way we plan activities and meals. Our team works closely with residents and their families to make sure care is tailored and responsive. We believe people should have real choice and control over their own lives, and we try to create an environment where that is possible every day. Whether someone needs support with personal care, communication, or simply getting out and about in Shrewsbury, we aim to be there in a way that feels respectful and unobtrusive. We want to be honest with the people we support and their loved ones. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as requires improvement, and we have taken that feedback seriously. We have been working through the areas identified and making changes to how we operate. We are committed to doing better and to being open about our progress along the way. If you would like to find out more about Highbury House, or if you are thinking about whether we might be the right home for someone you care about, please do get in touch. We are always happy to have a conversation or arrange a visit.
