We’re proud to announce the transformation of ACH Group ’s Highercombe Residential Care Home in Hope Valley.
The renewed home marks the next step in our move towards Small Home Living across ACH Group’s residential care homes.
Highercombe is our first existing care home to make this transition, building on the model introduced at Healthia in Elizabeth South.
Following seven months of building works, team training and changes to how care is delivered, Highercombe now includes eight smaller, familiar households with their own kitchen, dining and living spaces.
This transformation is much more than a refurbishment. It is about creating a genuine sense of home where residents can continue to live with greater choice, independence and connection.
We look forward to seeing residents, families and team members enjoy this more personal way of living and supporting care every day.

That's why ACH Group has developed Nutrition Guides that support residents make informed food choices based on their individual preferences, health needs and goals.
From high-protein diets to nutrition support for specific health conditions, the guides provide practical information that empowers residents to choose what works best for them.
By supporting informed decision-making, the guides are helping residents maintain wellbeing, independence and enjoyment at mealtimes. Learn more 🔗 bit.ly/3VGozaV

This National Nutrition Week, we're exploring how the foods we eat can support both our physical health and mental wellbeing 🍽️
ACH Group Dietitian Gemma Prendergast says the connection between our gut and brain is often overlooked.
"When we include more healthy and unprocessed foods in our day, we create good bacteria in our gastrointestinal system. This can assist in maintaining good mental wellbeing."
Gemma also wants to challenge the idea that all carbohydrates are bad for us.
"Wholegrains, starchy vegetables, beans and lentils all contain a range of vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, which help regulate our nervous system. The fibre in these foods also creates good gut bacteria, which contributes to feeling good, both physically and mentally."
And her top tip? "Don't be afraid to ask for help." Whether it's speaking with a dietitian, joining an exercise class or taking part in social activities, support is available to help you stay healthy, connected and well.
