Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very caring home. My mum was very happy there. The staff were excellent. Nothing is too much trouble. We couldn't have found a better care home. Everyone from the cleaners to the matron were helpful, kind and extremely patient.
Top marks to everyone at Harvey House.

My mother is extremely well looked after. The staff are very caring and obviously enjoy their work. The love that is shown to the residents really shows through.

I have been a regular visitor to see my husband for two years. He has settled and happy. The staff are extremely helpful, always very professional. The rooms are always clean with fresh bedding. The food is to a high standard with choices. They have regular activities and the door is open for visitors
to get involved and join in with garden fetes etc. The office door is always open for communication between the management and myself.

I was very impressed with the staff at Harvey House. They were genuinely caring and thought of our needs as the family as well as those of my partner's mother. We felt she was in a safe place where the staff would be friendly and kind to her. We couldn't have asked for better support when she was put
on end of life care.

My mum first went to Harvey House for a months respite care. We were very keen as a family for her to stay there permanently as she had settled in very well and the staff were amazing with her. Sadly mum passed away after only being a resident for 3 months but the care she received and the support provided
for our family will remain in our hearts much longer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Unfortunately, we had to find a home to care for mum at very short notice. This was the only home with a room and we were so lucky. Mum settled very quickly and enjoyed the short time she had left. The staff cared for her as if she was their mum, they also looked after her family too. At the end, they
were so caring to all of us. One of the senior staff even came in early to see mum before the undertaker arrived.

My husband has been in Harvey House since February 2016. He is happy and very well cared for. The home is very welcoming and the staff are friendly and very professional. His needs are met i.e medication, cleanliness with a light bright room. He enjoys his food, has choices and gets tea coffee whenever
he wants.

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.
