My friend has been a resident at Harts House Care Home for six and a half years, confined to her bed for five years and is receiving excellent care from the wonderful nurses and carers.
All staff from management to housekeeping are full of kindness and respect and contribute to a wonderful, friendly
and caring environment. I highly recommend Harts House Care Home.

Harts House is simply a fantastic care home. My cousin, who is 96 and living with dementia, is extremely well cared for. Her health and wellbeing has improved no end since she moved into Harts House. She is happy and lively, and has made friends. Every time I visit her she's nicely dressed, and being
very well looked after. The staff keep in touch with me if they have any concerns about anything, and I feel without a doubt that they have her best interests at heart. I am so grateful for all that they do - thank you!

My mother has been in the care home for over two years with severe dementia. When she first arrived, the staff and all of the senior managers had a no care attitude, in fact, the care home was beyond disgusting. Since Bupa appointed a new manager and deputy manager just over one year ago, the home is
now amazing. The care has improved beyond all recognition and staff, at all levels, are much happier. Thank you Bupa for being able to bring Harts House Care Home up to a very high standard with the appointment of the new senior staff.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Harts House Care Home

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the high standard of care your mother now receives. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved one's stay as comfortable as possible.

My nan was admitted a few weeks ago and the welcome we received was so amazing. The manager met us at reception and made us feel at home from the minute we stepped in. She escorted us to Nan’s room which was clean, neat, and inviting. All the staff are helpful and kind. I can see Nan is happy.

What has happened to the entertainment team?
It was brilliant with lots of singers and residents interacting. Now two of the team have gone and that is a real loss. They were the backbone of the team and it was run efficiently and packed with things to do for the residents.
Now it is boring with residents
saying there is nothing for them in the lounge. Huge loss losing two key members who treated staff with kindness, respect and were committed.

We have been really pleased with the quality of care. All the staff are kind, compassionate and skilled. They have worked tirelessly to make Mum feel safe, settled and valued.
As a family, we always feel welcome which makes visiting enjoyable.
The new manager has swiftly made improvements and this
is reflected in the excellent care Mum is receiving. We are very grateful for her kindness and support, particularly in recent weeks.

I am so pleased with the care my mum has received at Harts House, both physical and emotional. The staff, including the new management team, are kind and thoughtful and are always looking at different ways to make my mum feel settled and at home. The entertainment team are brilliant and works really
hard to keep the residents busy. My family has just received the most amazing support from the manager regarding an issue that was causing Mum huge distress. We are truly grateful for this. Mum chose this home and she certainly chose well. A big thank you to all the staff.

I would like to thank Harts House for the kind and considerate care the staff always showed our family. My father was a resident at Harts House for a long time, and I always felt that he was comfortable and in safe hands. His condition naturally deteriorated very slowly during his time there, and Harts
House had all the knowledge and services available to help him and the family right to the end.
The staff who oversaw his care were just excellent. They work long hours, and yet they always have time to answer our questions and make us a cup of tea! They especially looked after my mother, who visited daily, sometimes twice a day and their kindness towards her was exceptional.
Thank you all for being there for our parents, it was hard for them to be apart after 62 years of marriage together and it is never an easy time for the resident and their family.
I am very grateful to you all for your professional help and compassion and for all you did for our family.

My mum was at Harts House Care Home for 2 weeks and I can’t fault the care staff and management. The home is clean and tidy. She joined in the activities that the care home provides and the food was great, Mum said 5 stars.

There is not enough dementia care specialist staff. Residents are left wandering. Night staff keep using incontinence pads on resident at bedtime when not needed - causing urine infections. Some staff are genuinely caring which adds reassurance of good care - need more staff like this. Meals are amazing
and great grounds and buildings giving a good outlook for all to enjoy.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Harts House Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. It is hopeful that we are able to provide top-quality nutrition for the residents and we will certainly discuss the rest of your feedback with the home manager so that we can continually improve our services.

I moved my mum from Harts after her being a resident there for a year. In this time she was attacked a number of times by another resident and the management decided it would be best to move my mum to another floor rather than move the other resident. I found the management very poor and slow to act
when I had concerns. The care staff tried their best in difficult circumstances however I felt that they were quite disillusioned and burnt out. On the dementia floor residents were more often than not left to eat without any supervision and as a result, another relative and myself felt the need to be there to help almost every day while they were eating.
The common area on this floor was very uninspiring and I had a number of meetings with management to talk over ideas to improve things however in our time there nothing was ever implemented.
I made a formal complaint to Bupa who decided it was ok for the manager of the home to respond and Bupa themselves never got back to me.

My father passed away at the end of April after being at Harts House for one year on palliative care. We had a very difficult few months which was made easier by all staff at Harts going out of their way to allow us to visit as much as possible during Covid to improve my dad's quality of life. They
recognised that he was bed-bound and struggling and that family visits were crucial to his well being. During my many visits, the level of care and compassion shown from the wonderful staff on the Nursing/Dementia Unit to my father was outstanding. I witnessed that people were treated with absolute dignity. During the last few difficult weeks of my father's life, medication was put in place and information freely given. We were able to be there when he passed away. So, to all the staff at Harts and particularly the wonderful Carers and Nurses and all on the Unit, I hope you realise what a huge impact your care and kindness has on the most vulnerable and their families - thank you.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Harts House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and our deepest condolences for your fathers passing. We are glad we were able to help you and your family through such a difficult time. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one has been cared for and looked after. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care. Thank you for choosing Harts House for your stay.

I cannot praise the staff and management at Harts House enough. The care they have provided for my mother is exemplary. Their ability to meet her needs in a creative, dignified and personalised way has impressed me greatly, as has their ability to work with myself and other relatives around the decision
making and care planning. Thank you all so much.

My husband was moved to Harts House Care Home to receive palliative care after a stay in hospital. Whilst the staff at Harts House were very caring and extremely professional. I didn't feel the backup from the Community Palliative Care team was that easily accessible. When they did visit they were excellent
and the nursing staff at Harts were able to set up the appropriate equipment and my husband died peacefully.
Naturally, it was a stressful time but knowing Harts House were trying to do all they could to make sure both patient and relatives were informed and comfortable throughout made the situation easier and I can't thank them enough.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Harts House Care Home

Moving to Harts House this year was a huge upheaval in my life. My husband's death after a long and exhausting illness followed by two years of virtual isolation had undermined my own health and self-confidence.
The decision to move into Harts House was made after a good deal of research and discussion
with my family, who wanted me to live nearer to them. Once the details had been finalised, I would be moving from a retirement flat to Harts House, with a mixture of trepidation and hope. When we arrived, we were greeted by a group of smiling, friendly staff. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal, and we were made to feel welcome.
Introduced to my room, I immediately fell in love with the views from two large windows, which looked out over lawns and trees. Regular visits from birds, squirrels, a fox family and, amazingly, deer from the nearby forest added an extra dimension. I was less enthusiastic about the room, which was strictly functional. However, I have been able to personalise it, and it has become my home from home. Over time, my general health has improved as I eat properly and enjoy activities and gentle exercise. I have made new friends and acquaintances and am gradually returning to my old self, sociable, cheerful and too chatty.

Reply from Amanda Barnes, Customer Service Adviser at Harts House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is lovely to hear that you have settled in well and that your health has improved since being in our care, and it is nice to hear that you felt welcomed by smiling and friendly staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.682)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.682) out of 10 for Harts House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.682 for Harts House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 148 Ratings = 4.682

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harts House Care Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
