Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mother came into Harvey House in a d2a and it was decided she liked it. My first experience was ringing to check my mum has arrived to be told short staffed haven't got time to ring you. When visiting never in her clothes another resident wearing her slippers. Given shoes 3 sizes to big even though
unsteady on her feet. I queried with a carer why her feet were so swollen, after she put her mobile phone down told me the gp had been but nothing documented.
I took my mum home for fear that staying there any longer would have been horrendous.
I have had no contact from the home since my mum left and I still have none of her belongings that went missing
Also the lift was broken fir over 4 weeks so unless you were able to tackle the poorly equipped stairs stuck where you were
Very poor management as no contact or apology about clothing as mentioned numerous times to care staff. I found care staff sat with shoes off on a table on their phone residents had no drinks.

Dad has been at Harvey House for almost five months after a spell in hospital. Generally he has been happy in his decision to give up living independently in his home. The staff are always friendly and always respond to requests regarding his care. After asking to move him downstairs this was done as
soon as it was possible. His room is small and has regular bedding change, but his own clothes very rarely get returned from the laundry even through they were all named we have mentioned this on several occasions to staff and checked in the laundry but they never seem to turn up, therefore when we visit he is rarely wearing his own clothes. in the first week he lost his coat which has never been found, also to date he has lost two pairs of glasses. Dad is self funding at the moment but still has to provide all his personal care toiletries, and we feel the home is in need of updating, the lift is always out of order and there is very often a problem with the washing machines or driers.

Finding the right care home for our mum, who has dementia, was one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make - but from the moment she arrived here, we knew we'd made the right choice.


The staff have been nothing short of incredible. They treat Mum with such patience, respect, and genuine love.

Even on her more difficult days, they never lose their warmth or kindness. It's clear they understand dementia not just clinically, but emotionally - they truly see the person behind the illness.


We've watched Mum grow more settled and content than we thought possible. She smiles more, and she's surrounded by people who truly care for her. The home is clean, calm, and filled with compassion - it feels more like a family than a facility.


We can never fully express how much it means to know she's in such safe and loving hands. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Reply from Lisa Pegg, Manager at Harvey House

Thankyou so much for your lovely review. I'm glad you feel Mum is safe and looked after and will pass your feedback onto all of the staff.

Mum appears to be well looked after but feel over the past few months her care has not been as consistent as it was. Perhaps due to new staff or understaffed, I couldn't say. Staff are friendly and if I ask a question a problem or query is dealt with - but should I need to ask?
The property itself
needs a bit of TLC and money spent on it, not just the outside but also some of the residents' rooms which can be poor quality.
Overall we know she is safe and generally well looked after which is why she is still there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is a very private person and sometimes struggles with being in the home. The staff care and treat Mum with the utmost dignity. They go beyond, they chat to her and when she's having a bad day really try to get to what the problem is. In August Mum was gravely ill with doctors suggesting that
she went to the hospital, giving end of life care Mum did not want to go! The doctor then said the hospital would make her too anxious. The staff without doubt cared and loved and Mum is getting ready for Christmas. The cake they made for her 94th was brilliant. They know and love my mum dearly. Cannot thank them enough. Xxk

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am pleased to see my father is less distressed recently and credit the staff for that. Thank you.
Points I think you could act upon:
Recently, the activities lady was absent for a long time and the programme was vastly curtailed. Residents, like my father, greatly rely on the interactions she provides
but you did not seem to have an effective cover plan.
My father has been a churchman for 84 years. The coffee shop in the church across the road is now a main (almost obsessive) focus of his week. Yet despite more than £4500 pm in fees, he cannot reliably get there unless I pay a separate external carer to take him. This seems unreasonable as the trip is advertised by yourselves as one of the activities.
My father is frequently dressed in clothes which are not his. Washing machine breakdown is given as the reason for many months.
The community areas are much better decorated than his room.
The advertised trips out are virtually non-existent.
The garden needs considerable work.

Since Mum moved into Harvey House last year I have nothing but praise for all the staff. They have been supportive, caring and helpful. Even after Mum's care needs have changed quickly over the last year, the staff and home have done everything to help make her comfortable. It's a safe environment and
as a family we can relax knowing Mum is happy, safe and extremely well cared for.

The care and support my mum has received since being in Harvey House has been a high standard of care, they are always kind and treat residents with respect.
They are always welcoming to family members and friends and help with any issues raised promptly.
My mum always says the meals are good
and she is in better health since being at Harvey House.
Rooms need an update and the exterior of the building needs some TLC but everywhere always looks hygienically spotless.

Over the last ten months, I found excellent care and improved mobility, and all staff were very caring and courteous. Residents' welfare is a priority to all members of staff. A clean and very well-kept care home. Excellent food and service, very safe for all residents.

On a visit after the home had to reduce access due to a staff member and a resident tested positive for Covid, I was allowed to visit as an essential carer.
I had to prove evidence of LFT being done and had to wear appropriate PPE! The staff were also aware this event would add to Mum's confusion but
were managing this well.

Review from Susan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent the last four years of her life in Harvey House following a diagnosis of dementia and her general fraility which led to her having many falls. I cannot praise the care that she received during her time at Harvey house enough. The staff cared for her every need.
She was treated with
respect and affection and I know that the improvement in her health which followed her move there was down to their meticulous work. As her memory deteriorated further the activities on offer provided stimulation which gave glimpses of her in younger days. I will ever be grateful for the care they gave and the way that she was able to end her life peacefully. The staff were extremely supportive of my father when he visited my mother during these four years and cared equally well for him in the last 7 weeks of his life, when he was able to join her in Harvey House.

Review from R H (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My father is very happy in Harvey House. We have had a few issues since my father moved in, these have been dealt with to our satisfaction. However, some of them could have been avoided. For example, my father is on a special diet. Sometimes one member of staff would give him the wrong food and it has
been known that another staff member has taken this food off him, against his will. This leads him to go on a hunger strike for the rest of the day. I feel that most of the issues here arise from a lack of training/order. There is a lot of passing the book when questioned. Although we feel that most of the staff are helpful, caring and good at their job, some of the staff are unprofessional and can be rude at times.
Personally, I would not want to reside at Harvey House in my old age.

The above named care home is exceptionally good. All of the staff and carers are always on hand to help and guide the residents. Nothing is too much trouble. Any questions are answered promptly and needs are met.
The place is clean and tidy and always looks light and airy.
The staff are very professional
and seem genuinely caring towards all of the residents.
Excellent.

Since my mother entered Harvey House, I have nothing but praise for the staff and management. I am regularly updated on any health issues arising. I witness that she is clean, well-kept, fed, clothed and interacted with, far better than I was able to cope with at home. As her needs have changed, such
changes have been acted on swiftly to maximise her independence and preserve her dignity. The continuity of staffing is vital and provides me with peace of mind.

Both myself and my wife are very pleased with Harvey House. Visiting my mother in law in the home is a very nice experience. It is warm comfortable and well decorated. The staff are very caring, very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. My mother in law is happy, contented and enjoys the food.
The other residents seem to be doing well also, which is corroborated in conversations we have with members of their families. Would certainly recommend to anyone.

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.323)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.323) out of 10 for Harvey House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.5 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 3.493 for Harvey House is calculated as follows: ( (19 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 3.493
  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 3.83 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harvey House is based on 4 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.455
  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.
