I was nervous about going into a care home at first but the home itself is smashing and the carers looked after me so well.
It's clean, bright and all the residents were lovely to me.
The food was very good and if I wanted something, the nice cook made it for me.
I can't thank the staff enough for making my stay so welcoming.
The bingo was always a laugh with the funny carers calling out the numbers.
Thank you for your lovely comments about your stay at Harker House. You are welcome to come and stay with us again in the future.
The home is clean and tidy, I am pleased to go back home to my cat but sad to leave this lovely place.

Thank you for your kind words about your short stay and we would welcome you to come back in the future.
My mother died this week after spending 2 years at care home. While there she was very happy, she loved the staff and they were excellent in their care. She was in hospital near the end but asked to go home, by that she meant care home. The carers used to sit with her while we took a break.

Thank you for taking the time to send this review at such a sad time for you and your family and thank you for your kind words. Our condolences for your loss.
The family has been made welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the carers.

Thank you for your kind words about the care your father is receiving at Harker House.
The place feels more like a homely home rather than a care home and is always a pleasure to visit.

My mother was always treated with dignity, respect, love and warmth. She loved the daily activities, especially the mobile pet zoo that often visits and weekly trips to the hairdressers upstairs. When the stage came that she was towards the end, the care staff did anything they could to support us. Mother was very well looked after. We highly recommend Harker House - such a wonderful home!

My mother came into Harker House early summer 2015. Since that date, she has been treated with dignity and kindness by all the staff. They encourage her to join in with activities but always respect her wishes. Because there is little turnover of staff, she feels safe. When hospitalised recently, she couldn't wait to get back home to them.
We have always felt included in her care and staff are always ready and happy to discuss any concerns. When my "turn" comes, I hope that I am as lucky.
Thank you for your kind words about the care your mother is receiving at Harker House. Nice to hear she wanted to return to her 'home' after the hospital.
I love my care happy hotel home. My carers are first class, I love them all, they are here for me day and night whenever I need them. If wasn't for my carers I wouldn't be walking and talking and they sorted my water works out for me. The lady of the house and all of them are happy, smiling carers...

If wasn't for my carers I wouldn't be walking and talking and they sorted my water works out for me. The lady of the house and all of them are happy, smiling carers and that makes me happy. I can go to bed happy and sleep wonderfully.
Thank you for your lovely comments about the care and support you receive at Harker House - they certainly made us all smile!
Over the past four years of my mother being in residence, she has, in my opinion, received excellent support and care. Nothing seems to be too much trouble from the staff and the end of her life was treated with a great deal of kindness and dignity.

My mother lived here for the last four years of her life. She was happy and very well cared for. She was encouraged to do as much as she could, gently and patiently. The staff are excellent: friendly, caring and conscientious. My sister and I were always greeted and made to feel welcome.
