Review from Roger (Son of Resident) published on 6 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We looked at 13 nursing homes before deciding on Harmony House for my mother. This is a small nursing home with only 29 beds, so it is like a family and their biggest attribute is the staff and also not to forget the management. They are a great team. My mother has been in there six years now and I
would definitely recommend this nursing home. She is treated with care and dignity.

Review from Kelly H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 3 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Grandmother was moved from rehabilitation to Harmony House Nursing Home for end of life care in April this year. This was a worrying time for the family as my grandmother had always been fiercely independent and we had heard so much negative press regarding care homes in general. Well, we had nothing
to worry about. The Manager and her team were excellent. They made my Nanna very comfortable, looked after her with dignity and respect and made us feel welcome whenever we visited. They were always very polite and offered visitors a cup of tea as well as the residents.


Nanna passed away on the 1st September aged 99 but we were made fully aware of her condition, were kept informed by the nurses so we knew what to expect. Again following her passing the staff treated us very well and with empathy.


Although Nanna passed away my families Nursing Home experience was a positive one.

Review from Steve A (Son of Resident) published on 12 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
With regard to the love, care and concern shown to my mum I was extremely pleased with how I saw her being treated. The staff went over and beyond to facilitate my desires in trying to communicate with my Mum. Being in the U.S., Texas to be exact, this was trying at best but I was never told they were
too busy to take the phone to her or as possible do a SKYPE call as well.


I genuinely believe the staff and in particular the admin staff member showed love and compassion in such a way Mum felt it.


Having worked at a Nursing Home myself in the States I am painfully aware of the difference between "just doing the job" and actually becoming an integral part of the elderly's last days.


I think Harmony House staff deserve accommodations for their excellent service and you can feel free to post that for all to see!

Reply from Vanessa Devenish, Registered manager at Harmony House

Thank you for your kind words. We genuinely care about the well being of each individual at Harmony House. It has been a true pleasure to look after your Mother. We wish you and your family the best for the future.

Current Review Score: 7.9 (7.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.9 (7.922) out of 10 for Harmony House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.750 for Harmony House is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.172 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harmony House is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.8 = 0.172
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
