Highgrove is a very nice facility!

We have found the staff to be very accommodating and pleasant. They take their time and are very patient with their residents. There are plenty of activities and events. They are taking good care of Mom! We are very pleased with Highgrove!

Short lived honeymoon!

If her cognitive abilities were better and a move would not be so disruptive I would consider relocating her. The food is mediocre at best. Responsiveness needs improvement. Turnover of staff #1 issue, starting with chefs! Cost to value is not on par. Difficult to change once moved in - hard on the client.

A top notch facility with a staff that exceeds all expectations

The people at Highgrove are wonderful! They are all extremely kind. Every member of the team, from the nursing staff to the dining room to therapy to the directors absolutely goes above and beyond when you need them, and they're all really good at making you feel like it's no big deal. I'll tell you, sometimes it IS a big deal, and they are all very appreciated! On top of all that, the food is really good and the dining room is lovely. There's almost always something fun going on, and it's a really welcoming atmosphere. My Dad has visitors all the time because we enjoy being there too! Highly recommend!

Mostly meets expectations, occasionally exceeds

The community is warm, friendly, helpful, and kind to mom. The "apartment" is nice and spacious. The food is above average and mom has gained a little weight. We appreciate the activities though mom does not participate as we had hoped. The onsite salon, chapel, and sitting areas are a plus. There are some staffing issues with turnover common in the industry. We have issues with level of cleaning provided (just not as thorough and strenuous as we like, maybe too high a bar we set), took a while to get med dose packs accurate, response times longer than expected when requesting an aide, laundry service and options do not meet expectations. We chose it mostly because of the location and references from friends and are mostly satisfied. It has only been 6 weeks so expect things to improve with the new ED. Hopefully staffing issues will resolve and consistency and promptness will improve along with a higher level of fastideousness.

making improvements to staffing

Big turnover in staffing, but leveled out and improving. I think the meals are fine, but my brother wishes for better. The cost is steep, but doable for us, and they provide what he currently needs.

Review for Highgrove at Tates Creek

We presented to them what our Moms needs were and they misrepresented what the staff could do to meet her needs. It was nice enough but wasn't what our Mom needed.

our families experience, has room for improvement, would not recommend

Highgrove was bought out last year by a different corporation. Everything kind of went downhill from there. Different company in charge of food. Sandi was left in her room to eat meals alone. At the beginning of this year, the executive Director and the Memory Care Director left. Her room was always dirty. It was an ongoing problem. Other than the Memory Care Director, staff was not very friendly. Overall experience was not good. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Nice Facilities but Unfair Corporate Practices

The local staff is very friendly and helpful. However, their corporate practices are very unfair. My wife spent over 5 years in this facility and passed away. They would not reimburse me a fair amount of money for her final prepaid rent.

Great people, flexible food options, feels good that my loved one is in a place where he can get care. They offered two large bedroooms and a garage.

Peace of Mind when mom's away

We have used Highgrove at Tates Creek for respite care for my mom. Overall, this facility is a good safe place for your loved one. I felt great about the care that mom was receiving while she was at this facility. I would suggest labeling your loved one's belongings with their name because things do get misplaced.

Highgrove Experience

We were here for a few days and did not have a good experience. There were people who would wander into my loved ones room. I asked the staff how to prevent this from happening all the time and they told me we would need to lock the door when we go in and also lock the door whenever we leave to prevent things from being taken - for a memory care resident, I did not think that was a very good answer. The staff are not positioned to be able to oversee all of the residents. There was a man who was naked and wandering the halls and I had to wave down a staff member, no one had seen him. They did a great job of re-directing him and handled it well. My loved one did not feel comfortable being here after that had happened so we decided to move. I had agreed to pay some of the upfront fees, but wanted to talk to the director about having to pay the full amount when we were only there a few days and I did not feel they upheld some of their parts of the contract. I wrote a letter to him explaining the circumstances and gave it a few weeks but got no response. I went into the office to make an appointment with him and again never heard back. The staff then gave me his personal line and I called and left a message and never heard back. I ended up having to write to the corporate office which was also hard to get in touch with. I felt the whole situation was handled very poorly and unprofessional.

Highgrove at Tates Creek review

The staff members have been wonderful but we are having an issues with the general cleanliness of the community - it is not always as frequent as it should be like the sweeping and cleaning of the bathroom. We have been there quite a few times during meal service and everything seems to be really good. We were quite surprised by the activities they offer especially on the assisted living side. They have live entertainment, parties, etc. it really is extravagant .

nice community but communication needs improvement

The communication would be the biggest thing for them to improve on - we live far away so when our loved one first moved in they set up a group text where we would get updated constantly regarding our loved one. However the longer our loved one stays there the less and less of that communication we are getting. It is just fizzling out.

I would recommend

We chose Highgrove at Tates Creek because they were the cheapest when it came to the value for the money. The meals here are chef prepared and if you do not like what he cooks on the daily menu, they will cook you whatever you would like. Overall I would recommend to others looking.
