About Highview House

Highview House is a place where residents are genuinely valued, backed by an Outstanding CQC rating that reflects the real dedication of everyone who works there. Set within County Durham, the home offers families the reassurance that their loved ones are in safe, caring hands in a community that takes its responsibilities seriously. It is the kind of place where quality of care is not just a promise but something you can see and feel from the moment you walk through the door.

Highview House is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 8 autistic people and people with learning disabilities with a forensic history. At inspection, the service was at full capacity with 8 residents. Staff prioritise avoiding restraint and work to maximise residents' choice, control and independence.

While the service had not consistently recorded reasons for blanket restrictions, the provider was taking steps to address this gap. Staff demonstrate good understanding of safeguarding and abuse prevention, working collaboratively with external agencies to protect residents. The home maintains a transparent and inclusive culture, with staff ensuring risks of isolation are minimised through respectful support practices.
