This is done through tailored care plans to suit the individual&s needs, all within friendly and comfortable surroundings. We are the only care home in the region to be awarded a Commend by the Gold Standards Framework - an accrediting body which looks to improve the End of Life Care for residents of care homes.

The home offers a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment; we provide care that is of the highest standard and is tailored to meet individuals& needs, wishes and choices. Our trained nurses have many years experience caring for the elderly and they are supported by a longstanding team of dedicated care and support staff.&

High Peak can best be described as a home from home. We always seek to enable people to maintain lifestyles that are as similar as possible to those they enjoyed before coming to us. We encourage regular interaction with the local community, including contact with friends, family and local groups.&
