Harbledown Lodge Nursing Home

We were all so impressed with the care that my elderly mother received at Harbledown lodge. All the staff, managers, nurses, cleaners, cooks, carers, everyone was so friendly and caring. I felt that my mother was in a good place and I couldn't have asked for more. I fully recommend Harbledown lodge based on our experience.

My mother is currently residing at Harbledown Lodge for the second time. The nursing and care staff are attentive and friendly, taking into account my mother's many medical and care needs. The management have also been excellent in keeping me informed of her ever changing health conditions. Many thanks to you all.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you from my family and I for taking wonderful care of my grandad George until the very end. Even in his passing yesterday, you showed true care and compassion. You even looked after us as we stayed with him in his final days. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Harbledown Lodge

I have always been happy here. The staff are always very professional, and they treat us with dignity and respect. I enjoy all of the activities, very happy.

My mum recently moved in with full time, because of the progression of Vascular/Alzheimers Dementia and also because of limited mobility to her hip via Osteoarthritis. She was previously extremely independent/sociable and her moving in with us had not been particularly straightforward. Been looking for some respite care over Christmas. I was really anxious/guilty about this, since it would be her first time away from our care. Delighted to say that it worked very smoothly and she had clearly enjoyed her stay. Very thorough registration/induction process, particularly in terms of her meds as well as asking her the activities and foods that she liked. All handled by Centre Manager. Care staff I met and observed were very attentive and caring. It's really lovely building with great views. One thing that I picked up on was that carers has taken time to apply cream for dry skin which they could have easily skipped on without anyone noticing. Hoping to come again.

The level of care, dignity and respect given to my mum and us as extended family was outstanding in her final weeks. Staff and those leading the home could not have provided anymore; they went above and beyond.

I always receive a warm welcome when I arrive to visit. The home is spotlessly clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. The food looks amazing, and Mum has a varied diet.

During her two weeks at Harbledown Lodge, my mother was treated with kindness and respect, and her clear wishes were meticulously adhered to. She was comfortable and, as far as possible, pain-free during her last days. The staff were accessible and informative, and, above all, considerate.

The food is always very goo,d and my mum seems most of the time very happy. I would like to see my mum out of bed more and encouraged to do some activities when they are available, also, I know there are staffing issues. It would be nice as well if there was a tea room for visitors to use, as some people travel hours to get there, and this would save the nurses time.

I cannot emphasise enough how fantastic the care offered at Harbledown Lodge is. They go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure every resident is happy.

Room not seen, only lounge. Overall security good.

My best friend unfortunately now has to be cared for in a care home and I have now been visiting him every week for the past few months. It is so nice to see him being well cared for and on my visits I find the staff so caring having lots of time for the residents. The home is clean and the quality of the food looks very good with my friend saying how much he enjoys it. Whenever I visit I am welcomed warmly in a very friendly way and my friend seems to be so happy there and enjoys his interaction with the staff.

Mum was only at Harbledown Lodge for a few weeks but the nursing staff were so helpful & supportive during her brief time. Thank you all for looking after her and me when she passed away.

Mum spent four happy years at Harbledown Lodge. The care and support she received was from a loving, dedicated staff, and my family and I will be forever grateful for this, sadly, right up to the day she passed away.

During her final days of life, she was made comfortable and assured regularly. The family were supported and felt respected at all times. She always felt loved and safe. We are most grateful to everyone who was involved in her care.

My wife has settled in very quickly and is happy at Harbledown Lodge.

Very happy with my dad's care. All of the staff and management are very kind and approchable. My dad seems so much happier since he has been here. Myself and my family want to say a big thank you for taking care of my dad.

I have been very impressed with the home, especially the staff and the facilities in the room. The staff have been very attentive & professional. Not only did they look after the people, but they also ensured visitors were looked after. Very happy with the home and its staff!

Thank you

Care home clean. Polite staff.
