About

Highview House Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare on the outskirts of Inverness, with views over the Moray Firth and landscaped gardens. Every room has an en-suite, and residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own belongings. The home offers nursing, residential, dementia and respite care, with 83 registered beds. People living with dementia are supported in the dedicated Memory Lane Community, which is designed to protect residents' freedom of choice and to help them keep up everyday skills. Each resident has a named nurse and keyworker, and staff train in dementia care with input from academic partners at Leeds Beckett University. Meals are prepared by the home's own chef using fresh produce from local suppliers, and GPs, specialist nurses and a physiotherapist are available to residents. The Care Inspectorate graded the home's wellbeing support, care planning, setting, staff team and leadership all as Very good.
