Signature at Highgate, a North London luxury care home, has won the prestigious Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Award 2025, topping a shortlist of over 150 care homes across the country.

Residents and team members at Signature at Highgate are celebrating being named Britian’s most luxurious care home, having won the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Award 2025. The award considers factors such as design, innovation, environmental impact, and indoor and outdoor amenities to recognise the UK’s leading luxury care home, with Signature at Highgate selected for its exceptional approach to the delivery of luxury care and living.

Signature at Highgate, located on Bishop’s Avenue which locals affectionally refer to as ‘Billionaire’s Row’, opened its doors in December 2023 and is the flagship home of luxury care home provider Signature Senior Lifestyle.

Constructed using state-of-the-art materials, sustainable technology and smart building systems, the home has been designed to the impeccable standards of the world’s best hotels, ensuring even the most discerning resident can enjoy a life well lived.

The care home features 96 well-appointed apartments, including a mix of studios and one-bedroom apartments, offering optimal privacy and independence. In home facilities include a café, dedicated activity space, cocktail bar, private dining rooms, art-deco cinema, and professional-standard hair and beauty salon.

It also offers an exceptional seasonal dining experience curated by MasterChef Winner Jane Devonshire, served in both full-service restaurant and bistro settings. Outdoor spaces include a secluded garden for residents with dementia, communal terraces, water features, and circular walking paths.

Signature at Highgate has also pioneered the use of safety monitoring technology, as the first new UK care home to launch with the technology installed when it opened in December 2023. The solution involves placing independently monitored CCTV cameras in the apartments of residents living with dementia care needs, with residents and their families offered to ‘opt-in’ to 24/7 independent video and audio monitoring.

Alongside the safeguarding benefits, Signature uses the technology to support team member training, offer more personalised care, and celebrate the ‘Golden Moments’ of kindness and compassion that take place in these private settings. Safety monitoring technology has re-written the ‘Gold Standard’ of transparency, accountability, and quality in care by offering peace of mind to residents, families, and care teams alike.

Kay Cox, Chief Executive of Signature Senior Lifestyle, said:

“I’m incredibly proud of the Signature at Highgate team for being recognised with this prestigious award, especially the design and build team, led by our Director of Development and Construction Wayne Pryce, whose hard work helped to create this beautiful home. To be named Knight Frank’s Luxury Care Home winner less than a year after its doors opened is an incredible achievement for the home and reflects the consistent dedication of our brilliant colleagues.”

“At Signature Senior Lifestyle, we are committed to delivering exceptional care and luxury living for all our residents, and every aspect of Signature at Highgate embodies that ethos. We are determined to continue leading the sector in pioneering excellent, innovative care for the people we support.”

The award was announced as part of Knight Frank’s Luxury Care Home Awards ceremony in London, and Signature at Highgate will be featured as a winner in The Luxury Care Home Guide 2025 available early next year.
