Our ethos

There are plenty of care homes to choose from in the Canterbury area. Find out what makes us different.

Do you or your loved one need to think about moving into a more supported environment?

Highland House is a family-owned and run, independent residential care home in Littlebourne, close to the historic city of Canterbury.
Russell and Susan Johnson and their team of kind, competent and highly trained staff provide personalised care and support for older people in a warm and friendly environment. As one of Canterbury’s smaller – and independent – residential homes, our care is delivered in an intimate setting, where our residents feel part of a larger family.

We are also committed to complete transparency, so our residents’ nominated relatives or loved ones are able to access their daily care notes and records online, 24/7. This means you can stay in the loop at all times and can see what has been going on at the click of a button.

We support up to 27 residents who each enjoy their own en-suite bathrooms. Most of the home is situated on the ground level, providing our residents with easy access to different day rooms and outside space. The home also benefits from a sensory courtyard garden with raised flower beds. As one of our numerous activities, residents work with our gardener in planting round the year.

We appreciate that deciding on the right residential care can be a difficult decision. There are many factors to consider, and choosing the right kind of care and support can be hard. We do our best to help you with this process and so Highland House has an open door policy with a flexible approach to those moving in.

We would encourage you to come and visit to see if we could meet your needs, and to experience our warm and modern residential care home in person.

There is no need to book an appointment, as there is always a member of staff available to make you feel welcome. However, if you would like to make sure you will be able to speak in more detail about the needs of your family member or loved one, please call us on 01227 656374 and ask to speak to Susan or Russell Johnson so we can arrange a time.

We look forward to hearing from you.
