Lifestyle

Highfields is a home that is completely committed to offering support that is tailored to someone’s individual needs, as everything we do is person-centred. We also want families’ involvement to be a part of the support we provide. We operate an ‘open hours’ visiting policy, and we encourage family and friends to become a part of our community.

At Highfields, we feel activities are crucial to a person’s wellbeing, and we want everyone to enjoy a rich and fulfilling life whilst at the home. We undertake a wide range of activities providing stimulation and interest for all those we support.

Alongside activities within the home, we also regularly organise trips out for our everyone. We learn what those we support like and what they can do, and we help them to achieve their goals and to build their confidence by enabling a wide range of opportunities to explore.
