Harbour Rise first supported me as Reg's carer and, when I needed help myself, they were there for me too.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that both you and Reg have felt so safe, comfortable and cared for at Harbour Rise. It's a privilege to support you both, and we're so pleased we could be there for you during your recovery. We wish you a smooth and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you both again.

He also goes to day care at Harbour rise both services are amazing the staff certainly go way above there roles to ensure all residents and day care feel loved and secure. I can't thank you enough for all you ate doing for both of my parents.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to be able to support 2 of your family members.
My mother in law has been to Harbour Rise for respite care on numerous occasions while we holiday and/or visit family abroad. The normal stay time is 3 to 4 weeks. In all the many stays she has never once got home and said she was unhappy about anything, infact to the contrary she always praises...
We have continued with Harbour Rise as we cannot think that any other home could provide the same level of car
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that your mother-in-law enjoys her stays with us and feels so well cared for. It's wonderful to know she feels at home and enjoys the warmth, humour and companionship of our team.
Thank you for trusting Harbour Rise with her care-we always look forward to welcoming her back!

I have just spent 3 weeks staying at Harbour Rise for some respite care after being in hospital. This home is brilliantly run by owners Mark and Cecile and the team, its a great example of loving care in all areas. The staff in every department are caring and patient, the call button is answered swiftly. The building is in immaculate condition and all areas are kept spotlessly clean. I am leaving now feeling so much better and I couldn't fault the care ofthis home in anyway.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Harbour Rise and, most importantly, that you are leaving us feeling so much better.
Your kind words mean a great deal to the whole team. It was a pleasure to care for you, and we wish you continued good health and happiness.

Naturally moving to residential care has been a major family decision, and we are very glad that we all agreed on Harbour Rise as by far the best choice!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review. We're delighted to hear that Mum has settled so happily into life at Harbour Rise and is enjoying the different spaces, activities and, of course, those wonderful sea views!Thank you for choosing Harbour Rise for your mum. It is a pleasure to have her as part of our family

We booked my 90-year-old dad into Harbour Rise for respite care over the summer while our family had a much-needed break and went on holiday. From our very first visit to view the home, through the orientation days, and throughout his lengthy two-month stay, we were made to feel completely welcome and very much part of the Harbour Rise family. Harbour Rise has such a genuine sense of warmth and homeliness. The range of activities and entertainment on offer was fantastic, from exercise sessions, singing and dancing to visiting musicians, worship services and so much more. These activities gave Dad a wonderful break from his usual routine and provided plenty of opportunities for him to socialise, have fun and feel involved. I was initially quite nervous about leaving Dad for such a long period, particularly as it was his first extended stay away from home but I needn't have worried. Harbour Rise staff really make it a home from home, we will definitely be using it again in future.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to have your dad stay with us at Harbour Rise, and we're delighted to hear that he settled in, enjoyed the activities and became part of our Harbour Rise family.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to have your dad stay with us at Harbour Rise, and we're delighted to hear that he settled in, enjoyed the activities and became part of our Harbour Rise family.
We completely understand how difficult it can be to leave a loved one for an extended stay, so it means a great deal to know that you felt reassured and confident while you were away. We loved having your dad with us and very much hope to welcome him back in the future!

It seems rare that anyone moves into a home of their own volition and it's quite an emotional journey enforcing this upon a family member, in this case my Father. Harbour Rise have been outstanding in helping to manage this difficult process and the support from all the staff we've encountered has been very helpful.
There seems to be little comparison with corporate owned care-homes and it's obvious that the owners, who also work full time in the home are committed to providing the best care possible and take great efforts to personalise the care they give.
It's early days for my Father who has dementia and he is still confused about the new situation and surroundings but he's comfortable being looked after for the moment and I'm confident he will settle in and enjoy his new home in good time.
It's wonderful to know that your Father is comfortable with us. We'll...
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We understand how difficult and emotional it can be when a loved one moves into a care home, and we're pleased to hear that you have felt supported throughout the process.Your lovely comments about our staff and family-run approach mean a great deal to us. Thank you for trusting Harbour Rise to care for your Father.

After sadly suffering a fall at home and then enduring a period of being moved between numerous hospital and rehab stays, Mum was immediately welcomed into Harbour Rise and provided with a safe and secure environment which she quickly accepted as her new home. The staff have all been exceptional from day one in making her feel welcome as a valued individual rather than just another resident on a list. She has been actively encouraged to continue with rehab exercises and increase her mobility, which has led to regained independence and sense of worth.
The best word to sum up would be 'community'. Mum regularly talks about other residents she has got to know and sits with at meal times. She acknowledges the wide range of activities on offer and chooses to engage with many of them, all adding to her sense of belonging, companionship and well being. The on site presence of owners Mark and Cecille leading by example is a huge driver towards the very caring community that Harbour Rise is.
It means a great deal to know that our team has supported her journey and helped her regain her confidence and sense of independence.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in Harbour Rise for a few months now. I have been particularly impressed with the staff's ability to care for the whole person. They take the time to get to know and understand how they can make someone feel cared for, included and valued. It has also been very encouraging to see the enrichment trips and activities that regularly take place - e.g. trips out for afternoon tea, visits to garden centres or just a drive round the bay in the home's minibus. It lets them enjoy the beautiful area where they now live.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that your mother-in-law is settling in well and that you've seen the care, inclusion and personal attention we strive to provide. It's wonderful to know she is enjoying our activities and trips too. Your kind words mean a great deal to the whole Harbour Rise team.
It is tremendously hard when your loved one needs more care than you are able to provide yourself and I am so happy and relieved to have found Harbour Rise for my mum.

It is tremendously hard when your loved one needs more care than you are able to provide yourself and I am so happy and relieved to have found Harbour Rise for my mum. All the staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating. Every time I visit I am greeted with a smile and hello from staff members. The home itself is clean, bright and welcoming and the residents rooms are comfortable and have ensuite facilities. Communications between the care team, residents and their families is excellent. There is plenty of entertainment to keep everyone engaged and mum particularly enjoys the singers and musicians who give her the chance to to enjoy a bit of a singsong and a boogie! Mum loves being able to get her daily newspaper and takes full advantage of the hair salon. The owners Mark and Cecile are very hands on and visible at the home and work hard to make everyone's life just that little bit better. I would heartily recommend Harbour Rise to all who are about to embark on this stage of life.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that your mum feels happy and settled at Harbour Rise, and that she enjoys the activities, music and hair salon. Your kind words about our team and the care we provide mean so much to us. It's a privilege to care for your mum and support your family.

Thanks so much, Lorna, for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you've always received a warm welcome and that your friend is happy at Harbour Rise. It's lovely to know you appreciate our friendly team, clean and welcoming environment, and the activities we provide. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with the team.
Dad had a variety of different health issues each requiring particular care. The staff are amazingly good at dealing with each of these and as a whole. Despite his difficulties with memory, every member of staff we met over his 3 years there showed the utmost care, kindness, respect. We were...
All in all, we couldn't have wished for Dad to have been in a better place in his final years.

We are also delighted that you found our home welcoming and enjoyed the environment we strive to create for residents and their families. Thank you for placing your trust in us.
Just felt the need to give feedback once again. I visit daycare weekly to see a friend & every single time it's a joy. The carers today Sally & Chey made a simple game of group snakes & ladders so much fun. Almost every person in the room took part. Then in walked a delightful chap called Luc to...
He was in the middle of playing Rule Britannia when l discovered it was one of the residents birthdays, I interrupted him & asked if he could poss play happy birthday next, he did no more than to start playing it there & then & we ALL sang happy birthday to her she was overwhelmed bless her. He then resumed Rule Britannia. Another carer came in to wheel the birthday person out for lunch & she started singing happy birthday to her, l said awe we've just all sung that whilst Luc played the tune on the harp. He then played it again & asked her her favourite song, Danny Boy she said & he played that beautifully for her. She was so happy. X
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It means a great deal to hear how much joy and happiness Sally, Chey, Luc and the team brought to everyone's day. What a truly special birthday moment for her - we're so pleased you were part of it too.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt and thoughtful words. It was a privilege to care for Anne, and we are deeply touched by your feedback. Knowing that you felt supported and reassured during such a difficult time means a great deal to our entire team.Thank you again for your recommendation and for allowing us to be part of Anne's journey.
My aunt had frequent hospital stays after repeated falls, and it became clear she could no longer return home safely. When my mum and brother visited Harbour Rise, they were immediately impressed: it was spotless, welcoming, and the staff were warm and friendly. Her room was spacious, with an en...
We would highly recommend Harbour Rise.
Thank you for your lovely review and for trusting Harbour Rise with your aunt's care. We're so pleased she felt happy, comfortable, and well supported during her time with us. It means a great deal to hear your kind words about our team, communication, and compassionate care, especially during such an important time for your family. We'll be sure to share your feedback with all the staff.

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased your mother enjoyed her stay and felt well cared for by our team.
It's great to hear that our facilities and respite service supported you during that time. Your kind words about our staff mean a lot to us.
We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
We had to find respite for our 92 year old mum who had recently sustained a head injury through a fall at home and had spent some time in hospital. We were going on holiday and it soon became clear that it was not going to be possible for her 2 sons (who we had arranged for her to stay with) to...
All the staff and management are the most incredible people who are dedicated to all the residents and day visitors alike. The family feel so lucky to have accessed this care for her and she was treated with utmost care and dignity and she was able to spend time with all her great grandchildren who live close by. We would most definitely like Olive to be able to have respite there again - the family had complete peace of mind and she had a fabulous stay. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy we were able to help your family and hope you enjoyed your holiday too!

Although we live a fair distance from Paignton, when we do visit we are greeted by very friendly staff into an inviting environment. We are encouraged by the regular emails and social media updates we receive and are content in the knowledge that Dad will be looked after extremely well.
Thank you for your kind review. We're so pleased to hear that your dad has settled in well and is enjoying his time with both staff and fellow residents. It's lovely to know that you feel welcomed when visiting and reassured by our updates. Your feedback means a great deal to us, and we're grateful for your trust in our care.

All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, even the owners (Mark and Cecile) make the time to say hi and even remember the names of the families. It is like a home from home and I am so pleased Dad found it.
Thank you so much for your review. We are delighted that you feel Mum has started to improve from the very first day she has been with us. Thank you for trusting us to look after her.
It is with great pleasure that I write about my stay in Harbour Rise. I used to be the worlds worst cynic, prior to my stay here. I would never have volunteered to enter here. On my discharge from hospital I did not care if I lived or died, I was at a low ebb. My daughters arranged for me to have...
I watched angels dealing with the residents with kindness, patience, love and friendship. Not only have I been brought back to health and fitness, this experience has made me a better person, no more cynicism, no more hustling past older people, grumbling because they were in my way, and I thank each and every person here at Harbour Rise.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. We're truly honoured to have been part of your journey and delighted to hear how much your stay meant to you. Your kind words about our team mean so much, and we wish you continued health and happiness.

Hello, I’m Julia! I joined Harbour Rise in August 2021, having previously managed an Outstanding-rated homecare company and then transitioning to managing Residential Care several years ago. I’m dedicated to providing high-quality care and enjoy taking a proactive approach in my work. I love spending time with the wonderful people at Harbour Rise, listening to their stories, and ensuring that their care aligns with their wishes and what matters most to them. Originally from a fishing town in Southern Ireland, I’ve always lived near the sea, and being by the water never fails to make me feel happy and calm, so working at Harbour Rise feels like a perfect fit. I love spending time with my husband, our three daughters, and our two wonderful grandchildren. I relax by reading, especially historical novels, and good mystery stories, and if I can listen to my book whilst walking along by the sea, then that is even better!

Although I was born and educated in France (Angers University) and Yorkshire (Hull University), I have now spent more time living in the UK than in France! I have been the joint director and owner of Harbour Rise since 2007, working very closely with my husband Mark, who was born in Marldon, Paignton. Working at Harbour Rise gives me a real sense of achievement as I love to be involved in a team of passionate and dedicated staff who give nothing but their best to our lovely residents.
I am also the very proud mother of three lovely and lively boys. Football seems to be the main thing we talk about at home, so in my spare time I love to go out with friends, go shopping and prepare a nice meal for all of us to enjoy! If I can, I also love to turn my phone off and get stuck into a great book!

I was born in Paignton, and although I worked in finance in London for 20 years, I was delighted to return to Devon to raise my family of 3 boys and further develop and improve Harbour Rise.
We have owned Harbour Rise since 2007, and as well as caring for many wonderful residents, we have transformed the home from 22 to 44 bedrooms, and I believe there is not an inch that we have not renovated or improved! I love the warmth and atmosphere of the home. Although the care industry can be stressful, I enjoy seeing our staff and residents looking happy and thriving – this is our biggest achievement.
Outside of work, I love to be busy with water sports, cycling and of course football! Watching my sons play football is my favourite part of the weekend, as well as watching Arsenal and Plymouth Argyle.I enjoy a glass of red wine in the winter and a pastis in the summer, love to spend time off in France, where I still try to improve my French.

Hello, I’m Laura! I have had the pleasure of working at Harbour Rise for the past 20 years, during which I’ve taken on a variety of roles, gaining a wealth of experience and knowledge along the way. For just over a year now, I’ve been providing managerial support, a role I find both engaging and rewarding.
Outside of work, I’m a proud mother of three wonderful children who bring immense joy to my life. Our family has recently grown with the addition of Bertie, our beautiful Cockapoo puppy, who has quickly become a beloved member of our household.
In my free time, I love spending quality moments with family and friends, going for walks, and diving into a good book.

I started my career in 1998, working in the laundry at Harbour Rise. Over the years, I’ve taken on many different roles and eventually became Head of Care when Mark and Cecile took over the business in 2007. I’ve seen many changes to the home and feel privileged to have been part of its journey. One job I’ll never do, though, is drive the bus—driving’s not exactly my favourite hobby.
When I first started, I was young, free, and single. During my time here, I met and married my husband, Ken, and we now have one son who is an adult. I love getting to know our residents and their families, and I truly believe Harbour Rise is one big family.
Outside of work, I have a busy social life. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going on trips, and attending concerts—especially Take That. I also love going for walks, especially when there’s a nice pub at the end for a relaxing lunch!

I have lived in Paignton for 27 years. I am a very busy Mum of 4 crazy children. In my spare time, I love to eat out, spend time with my family, kayak, swim and do coastal trekking with my youngest daughter, Lexi, who is very well known at Harbour Rise.
