About Hightrees

This care home provides accommodation and personal care for up to five people under 65 with learning disabilities. At the time of inspection, all five placements were occupied.

Staff created innovative activities for residents, including a weekend café atmosphere in the dining room where people could enjoy cooked breakfasts together at home. The provider had also developed comprehensive isolation protocols to guide staff in supporting people during periods of isolation. These examples demonstrated the home's commitment to enhancing residents' quality of life and maintaining appropriate safeguarding procedures.
