About
Highfield House in Purley, Croydon, provides nursing care for people with neurological conditions who need specialist treatment and therapies. The home opened in 2011 with 27 beds for long-term neurological care, and 18 more were added in 2017, bringing its registered total to 45. Care plans are shaped with input from residents' families and friends, so that the activities a person enjoys can be built into their daily routine. The home also offers short-term rehabilitation, coordinated by a multidisciplinary team led by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, to help people regain independence before returning to the community. The Care Quality Commission rated Highfield House Good overall in its 2024 report, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
