Overall Experience

My father in law has settled into the home brilliantly. The rooms are clean, comfortable and homely. My father in law has medical needs and the staff are excellent with meeting his needs and looking after him. They build a rapport with him and have built a good relationship with him very quickly. He

is quite active and the staff make sure that he never gets bored with activities daily and spend time with him having a chat. Would definitely recommend for your loved ones, it has taken off so much pressure knowing that he is getting well looked after.

Overall Experience

Mum has settled into Harbour View really well following a traumatic start.
The staff have all been extremely welcoming and are very friendly and helpful.
Although she is a picky eater, Mum has put on weight since arriving, and so the food must be to her liking!
I would prefer if care staff changed

uniform before serving food, or possibly to be done by kitchen staff.

Reply from Jack Pollard, Administrative Sales & Marketing Support at Harbour View Care Home

My brother came into Riverside Court on 26/2/25 after being diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. He passed away on 10/6/25. The facilities and care were outstanding. Each and every member of staff treat him with dignity and respect. We would highly recommend Riverside Court to anyone looking for care

for their loved ones.

Overall Experience

My mother moved in approx a year ago and there didn't seem to be much hope for her. Since then her her walking is much better, her whole demeanour has changed remarkably for the better ,she has increased weight and is totally settled and happy.
Riverside Court is a fantastic nursing home,brilliantly

ran always clean and warm. All staff without exception are pleasant and friendly, nothing is a problem and so relaxed.
I couldnt fault the home in any way,but have probably forgotten certain areas I should praise more.

Once again Thankyou

Overall Experience

Following a hospital stay and a need for respite care my mother needed a break and time to recoup. Quickly assessed for her needs the team sorted a variant of care and support and nothing was too much trouble. I would like to thank the managers and the team who made a great difference. The top floor

staff were amazing and mum had some good laughs along the way. Keep up the good work guys it is very much appreciated.

Overall Experience

My dad was admitted to Riverside Court in early February , he made his own enquiries about staying and after chatting with the manager he was so looking forward to staying.
From day 1 the staff were phenomenal. The professionalism, the knowledge and experience of the nurses, carers, support staff

coupled with their unbelievable kindness is something I have never experienced in any establishment before. We talk about the NHS being heroes during Covid but all these people at Riverside Court are just as much heroes as the NHS workers were. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and this really made my dads short stay as comfortable as possible during his illness.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending this nursing home to anyone in the future . I am so pleased my dads last few weeks were spent here, I couldn't have wished for any better place.
Thank you so much , it means a lot . Keep up the phenomenal work , you are all amazing.

Reply from Claire Cole, Marketing Assistant at Riverside Court Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and your kind words about the team. We are extremely passionate about caring for our residents, and we're so glad it made a difference during a difficult time. All the best.

Overall Experience

The care which my Mam received at Harbour View was simply outstanding. From the very first moment I met with the lovely and understanding Manager I couldn't have felt more reassured and confident that my Mam was going to be looked after brilliantly. The staff are so caring, efficient and welcoming,

nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The bedroom was spotless, with a commanding view over the Harbour, enabling all our family to feel uplifted each time we visited. The food looked and smelled delicious. The staff who looked after Mam were so charming to her that she instantly felt at home. Medication was professionally administered and we were regularly informed of Mam's condition. This is a fantastic establishment; I cannot speak too highly of the loving and respectful team.

Since moving into Riverside, my sister-in-law is the happiest we have seen her in years even at home with carers she wasn't this happy. She loves the carers, the games, quizzes, karaoke, and the crack she has with all the staff and other residents. It's made her life much better.

Overall Experience

My mam went to Harbour View for end-of-life care, as she had advanced dementia and other medical issues, the home is very clean, the rooms are beautifully decorated and the staff are amazing and professional. The staff showed great care and compassion for my mam and made her feel welcomed and safe.

They treated her as an individual and tried their hardest to ensure the last couple of weeks of my mam's life were peaceful and calm. In a very difficult time, with Mam's complex medical needs, they treated her with the highest care and respect and made her feel that she was part of their family. They also made us, the family, feel welcomed and also made sure we were kept fully informed about the health and wellbeing of my mam.
I cannot recommend Harbour View highly enough and I will always be grateful for the way they looked after my mam.

Overall Experience

My Mam was in Harbour View for a short 6 days before she died but I wish we had found this nursing home sooner for her. The home is clean, tidy and welcoming and the staff are all kind, caring, compassionate and they really looked after my mam and us as a family. My Mam had suffered a severe stroke

and they were able to meet her complex needs and make her as comfortable as possible during her time with them and kept us fully updated and communicated with us well at all times. The other residents all looked happy and content to be there and the staff spoke to everyone as if they knew them inside out. I know the thought of nursing homes for your loved ones can be daunting and a worry but please look around Harbour View as it is a lovely place, with good staff, lovely rooms with lovely views and I felt settled knowing how well my mam was being looked after.

My mam went into Harbour View after 4 months of being in hospitals. We were over the moon when mam got a place at Harbour View. From when she arrived she recieved excellent care and service as did we, her family. All the staff are so professional from management to carers, nurses, domestics, kitchen

staff and maintenance. My mam was only at Harbour View 24 hours and our family cannot thank this team enough for the excellent and dignified care given to my mam at the end of her life because you all made a massive difference to the rest of our lives. Thank you all.

I was delighted to find that Harbour View could offer respite accomodation at short notice for my mam. After initial anxiety about going to Harbour View, my mam settled nicely into the warm, friendly environment. The room was pleasant and the overall ambience of the home was welcoming. All the staff

I met were polite and friendly I went away reassured that mam would be well cared for. Chatting to Mam following her stay she commented on how friendly everyone was and how lovely the meals were. The activities coordinator was a bubbly person who obviously enjoyed her role in the home. Mam is already booked for her next stay. Thank you Harbour View.
