Harbour Manor were presented with what I would describe as extremely challenging needs for my mum.
Two months on I'm delighted to say through their du diligence, exemplary care and
outstanding empathy my mother is now enjoying her time at Harbour Manor.
They constantly go the extra mile including driving to Ipswich at 8pm on a Saturday evening to collect urgent medication.
The monthly activity calendar has something for everyone, check social media.
The management of the home headed by Maxine, who has created a real family unit of staff, all supportive, kind and in my view treating all residents with the individual care and support they need.
My mum had eight months in a previous care home that caused her so much distress, Harbour Manor has truly helped her and is teaching me to be her son again not her carer, this review is written with heartfelt thanks . Gary

At first, we loved everything about Harbour Manor; everyone seemed to love staying here, including my dad. but recently, they have let us down extremely badly. It may all look very nice and all the staff seem friendly and helpful, but it's the quality of care that is important..

There really are no down-sides to residence at Harbour Manor. My mother is safe here and very well looked after. The monitoring of her health etc is first rate and the staff can access records immediately in order to answer any concerns and respond accordingly. From a social point of view this is a
place where the staff really do care for the residents, as well as providing plenty of activities to stimulate residents and include them in the community there. All good.

Harbour Manor is a beautiful care home. Spotlessly clean, staff are friendly and helpful and the residents seem very happy. it is light and airy and feels more like a hotel than a care home. Residents are given the opportunity to be involved in lots of activities, which helps pass the time. I would
definitely recommend Harbour Manor.

The care my mother-in-law receives it second to none.
The staff are friendly and caring, always greet you with a warm welcome.
They have regular meetings for residents to listen to what they would like to do or if something can be changed to better fit their needs.

My friend and neighbour moved into Harbour Manor about two weeks ago and this is the first opportunity I have had to visit him. He has settled in nicely and is quite content with his life. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the building which I know is nigh on brand new, is immaculate and
spotlessly clean.

Moving from your own home to a residential care home is a significant step in life. The Staff at Harbour Manor helped my Mother to realise both the necessity, and benefit of doing so. Their understanding, appreciation and sensitivity to my Mother's needs is a thoroughly positive experience. For my Mother,
and all our family. We are very grateful for the level of care and attention provided by the staff, and the uplifting atmosphere created by them.

I was very happy with Harbour Manor, in every aspect. The care, the staff and the homely feel of the place, my partner felt secure, which was a relief for me.
The staff were very attentive and helpful, the rooms were lovely, a bit of private space.

From the moment of first contact we were treated with the utmost kindness and consideration. There was no question we asked that went unanswered. All our concerns were addressed and laid to rest. We were assured that my mother would receive the very best of care appropriate to her needs and so it proved
to be. I would say that all the staff there went beyond their job spec to make my mum comfortable and happy in her final days. My gratitude is very long lasting.

My mum moved in and hasn't been this happy and healthy in years.
The activities that are arranged are fantastic and although mum
doesn't join in with all of them she thoroughly enjoys the ones she does, especially the trips out to garden centres and pubs!
The care she receives is wonderful. I cannot recommend Harbour Manor enough. We no longer feel guilty for mum having to go in to a care home as her life has improved in so many ways since moving to Harbour Manor. Thank you to everyone there for all they do.

A lovely homely feel to this home, beautifully decorated with a lot of thought gone into it. Plenty of facilities ie cinema room, hairdressers, library. Outside facilities potting shed and patio area to sit out and look at the view. Food is excellent all homemade. Definitely worth a visit.
