About Us

Here at Highbarrow Residential Home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, we provide a warm and homely environment where older adults can feel genuinely comfortable and well looked after. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the effort and commitment our whole team puts in day to day.

We care for older people across a range of needs, including residential care, dementia care, physical disability support, and respite care. Whether someone is joining us for a short stay to give a family carer a rest, or moving in with us on a longer term basis, we aim to make the transition as smooth and reassuring as possible. We take time to get to know each person properly, understanding their routines, preferences, and what matters most to them, so that the support we offer feels personal rather than one size fits all.

Dementia care is an area we take particularly seriously. We know how much it means to families to find a place where their loved one will be treated with patience, kindness, and real understanding. Our team works hard to create a calm and familiar atmosphere that helps residents feel safe and at ease.

For those coming to us for respite care, we want the experience to feel just as settled and welcoming as it would for anyone staying longer. A short stay should still feel like a proper home, not a stopgap.

We are rooted in the local community here in Uttoxeter, and many of our residents and their families are people we have come to know well over time. If you would like to find out more about what we offer, or simply want to come in for a look around, we would be very happy to hear from you.
