Key Review Excerpts

Kimberly and the Highgate staff jumped in right away and helped our father not only move in, but feel supported and loved. We appreciate the extra care and attention they have provided to all of us.

Family of a new resident · 2026★★★★★

The staff is quick to identify changes in residents and communicate with medical professionals to adjust treatment and medications if needed.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

One day my husband was agitated, not from them but his ALZ. I suggested medication. They suggested a holistic approach. They gave him a spa bath, essential oils, soft music and shoulder massage.
