History with CQC
Highgrove registered with CQC in July 2026, so it is a new service.
So far CQC has published one overall rating: Good, in April 2023.
It has gone 3 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.
Note that a different provider ran the service when it was rated; the current one has not been inspected here so far.
Budgeting for this home
We estimate Highgrove at £1,080–£1,330 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £56k–£69k.
Check what the weekly fee leaves out; hairdressing, chiropody, trips and newspapers are common extras.
People with savings under £23,250 may get help from Bury Council after a needs and financial assessment.
