Meet The Manager
Christine Barber is Home Manager at Highbury House Nursing Home.
Since the start of my career in care, I have always felt privileged to work in the care sector. It all started when I was 16 and I began working in a nursing home in Horsham as a Healthcare Assistant. I am now the proud Nursing Care Manager at Highbury House and I find it very rewarding to be working with a brilliant team and giving great person-centred care.
I am passionate about my family and my work and I joined Southcare Homes because their family values go all the way to the heart of the company and into the hearts of the staff that work here. I hope my extensive experience will help Highbury House achieve its potential, continue offering personalized care to residents and remain a happy home for everyone within.
Highbury House Nursing Home is a bright, airy home full of character and charm. The home is ideally located in the quaint, cobble-stoned village of Rottingdean (just 5 miles from Brighton) with beautiful surroundings and a homely atmosphere. The home is ideally situated, with a sea view to the front and the rolling green Downs to the rear of a large garden.
24-hour care is offered to all residents.
All staff have regular in-house training, NVQ training and attend courses relevant to care of the elderly.
Highbury House has 30 single bedrooms.
