Signature at Highgate Management Statement

Signature at Highgate is a luxury Care Home that caters for Assisted Living, Nursing and Dementia residents. The home is overseen by our General Manager and a team of Heads of Department who are all subject matter experts in their chosen field.

The home has 96 apartments that are dedicated to Assisted Living and Nursing Care over 4 floors and a Dementia community that has 24 suites split over 2 floors. The number of Carers on duty will be determined by the residents’ individual needs, however we allocate a minimum ratio of 1 Carer to 5 residents in our Assisted Living environments and a ratio of 1 Carer to 3 residents in our Dementia communities.

The care that each resident requires and receives is recorded using person centred mobile care technology which assists us in allocating the appropriate level of staffing to each area of the building at the right time of day or night. Residents have reassurance that our call bell system is linked to our mobile care system ensuring that we are always there when needed.

Resident care is overseen by Nurses and Care Managers who also provide guidance to the care teams, ensuring that the service is fully compliant with the regulations.

In addition, we have a Hospitality Team,  including a catering team who serve main meals in our restaurants, housekeeping team who are responsible for the cleanliness of the home including resident apartments, and finally a dedicated activities team are responsible for arranging in-house events and organising excursions using our own minibuses. The home has a reception area which is operated twelve hours a day, ensuring that all visitors receive a warm welcome and are logged in and out of the home.
