About Highfield (Stockton)

Highfield is a residential care home in Yarm, in the Stockton area. We provide a home for older people, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we also support some younger adults and offer respite stays for shorter periods. We want this to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere people have been placed. Residents bring their own furniture and photographs, keep their own routines and decide how the day runs. Some are up early and want company and conversation straight away. Others want their own room, a newspaper and a quiet afternoon. Neither needs explaining to us, and we plan around the person rather than around what suits a rota. Supporting people living with dementia is a large part of what we do. Steadiness is what helps most. Familiar faces, routines that change only when there is a reason, patience when words are hard to find, and a real effort to understand what somebody means rather than what they managed to say. Families are closely involved because they often hold the history that makes sense of the present, and we keep in touch openly rather than only when there is a difficulty. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. It reflects reliable everyday practice, which is what most families are genuinely looking for. If you are considering a care home in this area for someone close to you, you are welcome to visit, meet our staff and residents and ask us whatever you need to know.
