Meet The Manager
Octavian Stanciu is Manager at The Highgate Care Home.
We welcome adults from the age of 18 for a wide range of high-quality nursing care. This includes those living with physical disabilities and people in need of rehabilitation.
The older part of The Highgate still has period features like high ceilings and elegant fireplaces. Whether you’re there or in the newer wings, you’ll find that we’re small enough for a cosy atmosphere, while also being big enough to make lots of new friends.
A former convent, the home still retains its period decorations and has been expertly converted in to a safe, secure home fit for purpose. Everyone has comforts and conveniences, such as en-suite rooms.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
