My mother is currently a resident of the Ancaster Highgate Retirement Home. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the extraordinary staff that work at this facility. The Highgate culture is one of caring and respect. No matter who you meet, they are friendly, engaging and helpful. They give meaning to my mother’s life and have made the Highgate her home and her community. I am forever grateful! I highly recommend the Highgate to anyone who is contemplating moving there.
