Thank you so much for your kind review, we as a team strive to give both our residents and families, nursing care of the highest standard and compassion and care from our hearts. It's heartwarming to know you felt these while we were looking after your beloved wife in her final days.
My father was very well...
My father was very well looked after whilst he was there and when he had to be taken to the hospital someone stayed with him until he was admitted to a ward.
I cannot fault the care he received during his stay there or how we were looked after when he died.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, I will pass it on to the team. It's lovely when we know that families feel that our care comes from the heart, it's what we strive for. You and your mother are always welcome at Robert Harvey House.

I was a resident at Robert Harvey Care Home for respite care from October 23rd to November 14th, suffering from a broken leg. On my arrival, I was warmly greeted by senior staff and carers and swiftly escorted to my room. There I was frequently visited by senior staff who were keen that my every need was seen to. The nursing staff regularly assessed me and medication was carefully monitored. Equally the caring staff were professional and caring, cheerful and helpful. I was very impressed with the care and dignified treatment the more challenging residents received. The home has a cheerful and peaceful atmosphere with lots of entertainment and activities. I highly recommend this care home.

My wife and I are friends of a respite resident who spent two weeks recovering after her broken leg. We were her regular visitors and found all facilities second to none. Also, the staff were in the same category.

Many thanks for taking the time to review our home and our service. It's heartwarming to us all and I will pass your review onto the team here at Robert Harvey House.
The care home is modern, clean and in a good, quiet location. The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful on all occasions. Most importantly, the staff treat the residents with dignity and compassion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after your mother for some respite and we hope to see you both again soon. Dignity and compassion are so important to us at BCOP and I'm so glad that you feel this was achieved looking after your mother. I will pass your review on to the team. Kind regards.

My father has been in Robert Harvey House Care Home for several months. His room is spacious and clean. He loves it here and is very happy. I can't praise the staff enough, caring, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Food is of a high standard and plentiful. Activities are done so everyone can join in. Beautiful gardens and outlook. The manager's door is always open and you are supported fully with any concerns, help is there whenever it is needed. I would sincerely like to thank everyone for what they do, making it such a happy place. They are outstanding in their care and compassion.

It’s lovely to hear that your stepfather is enjoying all the activities that we provide at Robert Harvey. Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review, I will pass it on to the team. We always say care comes from the heart and it’s heartwarming to read a review like this.
This is an excellent nursing home, kept very clean and pleasant to visit. Relatives are made to feel at home and invited to take part in the wonderful activity days regularly put on for residents with singing, food and drink. The manager encourages a home-from-home feel to Robert Harvey House....
The palliative care for my father was second to none; he was made to feel as comfortable as possible and was accommodated with requests as much as physically possible, even to the extent of providing a beer when it was the only thing he fancied drinking. When my father died, the manager was very sensitive and informed my brother and me so that we could inform our elderly mother ourselves so she was not on her own when the news was broken. We were still welcomed to the nursing home after the funeral, and our mother was told she could always visit. The staff are amazing, caring and kind. I cannot recommend this nursing home enough.
You...
Thank you so much for this amazing review. We understand how hard it is for families to hand over the care of their loved one to another and we always strive to involve families with prescriptions of care for any of our residents but especially for those that come to us for palliative care.You and your family are the ones that know them best. And yes, Mom is more than welcome to visit us for a coffee and a chat.
Regards to your lovely family.

My wife has been in Robert Harvey House for four weeks. She has Parkinson’s Disease and Cerebellar Ataxia alongside other problems and since August 2022 this has been her fourth home for an EAB Rehab placement after hospital admissions and this home has been far and above the standard of the previous three. We, as a family never wanted my wife admitted to a home and she herself has always asked expectedly to come home which sadly now seems unachievable but here she felt settled and even stated that if she needed to be in a home then she would be more than happy to stay here as she has improved and felt settled, she has been cared for superbly by the caring staff and attentive doctor who often went above and beyond their duty. The manager/admin staff and the nurses/care staff were all very kind and helpful and along with the kitchen/domestic staff all made this home a pleasant stay and have welcomed all members of my family whilst visiting for which we will always be grateful.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I'm so happy that we were able to make your experience of a care home a positive one. We are always trying to make a home from home for all of our residents, even if only for a short while in EAB beds. I wish you, your mother and your father all the best for the future. I will pass your kind review on to the team and to the GP.

My mother, who didn’t fully understand why she needed to be in a nursing home, was always treated with compassion and dignity, and the care staff always made time to talk to us in detail about her needs. For us, Robert Harvey House was an oasis of care and clarity in a desert of doubt and confusion.
We wish your mother continued happiness in her new home.
Thank you.

My mum spent the final part of her life at Robert Harvey House. From the moment my mum arrived at Robert Harvey House, we realised what a special place it is. We are so grateful to all the team; everyone we came into contact with was professional, cheerful, kind and compassionate. Cannot recommend Robert Harvey House highly enough, and we will never be able to thank you all for everything you did for Mum.
Kind regards.

We chose Robert Harvey after a three-mile radius search and a personal recommendation. A week's respite was taken as a trial run. My wife has multiple needs - incontinence, falls and vascular dementia, which was covered well, and she was content there. A second respite there evolved into a permanent residency. The rooms and outdoor area were the best we'd seen; staff were plentiful and genuinely friendly, and even those residents who were able to express themselves welcomed us warmly. My son and I visit frequently and are greeted by staff and residents like old friends. A home from home.
What a lovely review. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it. I will pass it on to the team at Robert Harvey House. You know we try as much as we can to make a home from home for everyone, residents and relatives alike.
Fantastic care provided to my mother (and all of us, her family) for the last three years of her life. All of the staff - management, nursing, carer, activities and domestic - have a wonderful, friendly attitude to both residents, family and friends.

Mum was resident at Robert Harvey House for 3 years. She was diagnosed with Alzhemiers, initially using a walking frame, she became immobile. I have given an overall score of good to all options. However, there were times when the care, the staff ad the management could be classed as excellent. Mum's family are particularly grateful for the support we were given at the end of her life. We were welcomed and accommodated in such a way that enabled us to support her during her final days just as we would have done had she died in her own home. Given the challenges of COVID and Government directives regarding staff vaccinations and enforced intake of hospital patients etc, the staff and manager deserve medals for their fortitude in maintaining a positive, happy environment.
I wish you and your family well.
Regards
Anthea
My nan stayed at Robert Harvey House for three weeks after a hospital stay. The house itself is lovely, well kept and clean, and the staff were all so kind and caring towards her. We felt my nan was safe, and really well looked after during her short time there. Thank you all so much!

I researched at least 20 care homes but walking into Robert Harvey House 'I knew'. The last three years of my husband's life were the highest quality they could possibly be despite his advancing disease and ill health. His lovely light room kept his spirits high, the family of staff made him feel totally happy and secure, and the animals brought visible joy to him. As for me I could sleep easily knowing he had the most excellent care.
As you know, we see everyone in the home, the relatives, friends and staff as a family and so glad you felt part of this.
Kind regards
