Review from K B (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Harry is more like a hotel than a care home. It has been modernised to a very high standard and decorated tastefully. The staff are friendly and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The views from the home are amazing and it is lovely for residents to sit outside and enjoy the view. Mum has
Alzheimers and we made the decision to move her to The Harry in September 24. She is happy, well looked after, has made friends and is safe. Highly recommend.
Reply from Corinne Topps, Registered Manager at The Harry Care Home

Thank you for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated, and we are pleased to know that your Mum has settled and is happy at The Harry. I will be sure to pass on your comments to staff within the home.

Review from Nicola L (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On entering The Harry, it doesn't feel like a care home. It's welcoming like walking into a hotel.
The entrance is clean and bright with lovely flooring, not carpets.
The hallways are the same, clean and bright.
My mother stayed here for 5 months.
Her room was very clean but homely at the same time.
She
had a large door which went out onto a balcony, with sea views across Westward Ho! to Baggy Point.
In the spring we put potted flowers onto her balcony which she loved.
The staff are very dedicated, treating my mother with love and care as though she was one of their family.
Mum had very little appetite, and the girls tried daily to tempt her with various foods.
I can highly recommend the Harry.

I'm very pleased with how the staff at The Harry look after my friend. Friendly, caring, nothing is too much trouble, it's like a five-star hotel. I know she is safe, and very well looked after in every way - with all her needs being met. Food, and cleanliness and meds all good.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.181)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.181) out of 10 for The Harry Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 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 4.936 for The Harry Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.936
  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 4.245 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Harry Care Home 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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.6 = 0.87
  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.
