My dad was a resident here for the last few months of his life, the care and support the staff and carers gave to him and the family was of a very high standard, they made my dad’s last few months as comfortable as possible.

My sister spent almost three years being cared for at Robert Harvey House, I was extremely satisfied at all stages of her care there I found the staff to be helpful friendly and communicative. She knew her own mind and could not have been the easiest of residents. I would happily recommend the care and attention to detail this home gives.
Kind regards from the team at RHH

The decision to place dad into a care home was a tough one, especially against the backdrop of Covid 19 which prevented the family from looking at the facility prior to dad's placement, straight from hospital. When we could visit, some months later, all of our worries about how he might be being cared for were quickly allayed. The staff were so warm and welcoming and we could see that he was in good hands.
As we went through various lockdowns and were unable to visit again we could always take comfort from knowing that dad was in safe hands in a lovely environment.
The staff kept us in touch with dad's condition as it worsened and we were able to be with dad during his final days and hours. The staff were so kind, helpful, and caring during these sad times.
We would not hesitate to recommend Robert Harvey House to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home and the care we gave to your father. It’s such a difficult time during covid to place so one into care when the whole country were put into the first lockdown. Thank you for trusting in our home and looking after your father, our care comes from the heart at BCOP and pleased that this was felt by you and your lovely family.
Our sister was a resident at Robert Harvey House for 2.5 years following a diagnosis of dementia. Her health declined rapidly leaving us as a family both shocked and at times somewhat bewildered at the sudden changes in her. Throughout this period the staff at Robert Harvey House were not just...
We cannot find words sufficient to describe the highest standard of medical and pastoral care our sister received throughout her time at Robert Harvey House and have no hesitation to recommend the home and those who care for the residents. In short Robert Harvey House provide not just accommodation but a ‘family home’ for their residents in the fullest sense of the words.
I will pass your kind words to the team at Robert Harvey House.

Our mom moved into Robert Harvey almost 7 years previously. The decision to place her into a care home was a very difficult one for myself and 5 other siblings. However, on my first visit to the care home, I knew it was going to be Mom's new home. The staff knew Mom very very well and as her dementia progressed we all felt they cared for her as well as any family member would. The residents are all like family. We couldn't have asked for Mom to have lived anywhere else and we will be forever grateful to all the staff at the home. We were able to be with Mom in her final stages and were made to feel very welcome. Thank you will never be enough. We would absolutely recommend Robert Harvey House to anyone looking to place their loved ones in a care facility.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m honoured that you all chose Robert Harvey House as the care home for your mom. I will pass on your review to the team. We are like an extended family to all our residents and their families and you and your family will be missed in the home. We look forward to seeing you all at future events in the home.
Robert Harvey House has looked after my mum with kindness, care and consideration. All the staff made her and us (son and daughter-in-law) so welcome from the moment she arrived. Mums physical and mental health have improved immeasurably. We wholeheartedly recommend Robert Harvey House.

The care, love, respect and overall dedication the management and staff gave our uncle was above and beyond what we ever expected.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s so heart-warming for all the staff to be able to see the reviews that families leave for the care and dedication they give to all of our residents. Thanks you again for taking the time to write this review.
The service my dad receives is second to none. The rooms, staff, facilities, food and hospitality is spot on. Thank you.

The manager and staff could not be more helpful, friendly and caring. The resident is treated with respect and given choices that they can choose to do or not. The home is beautifully laid out. The rooms are all bright and airy and the setting is lovely. I know that my dad is in the best place and very well cared for. Top marks to all.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It’s heartwarming that you feel how the staff at the home make it a family affair. Choices of how our residents spend their day are so important to BCOP’s ethos.
The manager and her team cared for my uncle for 3 1/2 years until he passed away 3 weeks ago. He was very well looked after by all the staff and they became part of his family.

The manager and her team cared for my uncle for 3 1/2 years until he passed away 3 weeks ago. He was very well looked after by all the staff and they became part of his family. They showed him great kindness, patience and were highly dedicated to his care and well-being. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The residents' rooms are very spacious, great ensuite facilities, built-in wardrobes (just like a 5-star hotel!). The care home is very spacious, very clean and also had different dining rooms and sitting rooms for residents. The garden outside is fabulous and well looked after. My family and I would highly recommend Robert Harvey Nursing Home to anyone needing extra care without any hesitation whatsoever. I wish the manager and her team all the very best in the future and we will definitely miss visiting the home.
Wishing you and your family all the best.

Robert Harvey House is just fantastic and I tell anyone who will listen to me all about it. The staff are all very friendly and caring. The accommodation is kept clean and spotless and the bedrooms are as good as any quality hotel. The food was of a high standard and there was always a choice for the residents. Mum was a resident from August 2019 to November 2019 when she sadly passed away. My dad, my sister and I are so grateful for the care, attention, dignity and respect all the staff gave to mum throughout her stay and especially during her final hours when they came into her room to say 'good night' and give her a kiss before they went home. They knew mum wouldn't be there in the morning. The staff also cared for the three of us during mum's last hours providing us with food and drinks throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we will never forget them. I will always recommend Robert Harvey to anyone looking for a nursing home. Simply the best!
Dear Janet - please accept my condolences on the loss of your mum and my sincere wishes for you and your family. The fact that you are all experiencing grief over the loss of your mum, makes your comments so touching, and so appreciated, kissing those we love, is part of the magic that makes RHH and BCOP such a loving, family environment, and we are extremely appreciative of your comments.
My mother arrived at Robert Harvey House in mid-November 2019, to have an assessment. Since that date, Mom has received what I can only describe as outstanding service. Every visit I have made my Mom has looked very clean, her hair had been attended to and the staff, who I can't praise enough,...
My mother arrived at Robert Harvey House in mid-November 2019, to have an assessment. Since that date, Mom has received what I can only describe as outstanding service. Every visit I have made my Mom has looked very clean, her hair had been attended to and the staff, who I can't praise enough, tended to every need with courtesy and professionalism. the care is of the highest standard. Absolutely outstanding, I would recommend this home to anyone.
I am so pleased the team at Robert Harvey are looking after your mum, to their usual high standard, but even more pleased that you would take the time to say so! Thank you for your kind words, it means so much to our teams. Kind regards Janet

Thank you for your very kind words, I cannot tell you how important 'family' is to us at BCOP - so your comments have really touched a chord with all of us, and we are very proud that RHH team continues to uphold this value.
I cannot fault this excellent home for its care and quality of accommodation. The staff are empathetic and caring to a fault. The home is clean, the food is good and carried and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming a true home from home.

My mom has been happy here (EAB bed). All staff from management, nurses, carers, laundry and activity are excellent in doing their job.

Dear Elizabeth, thank you for your kind review - I am so glad Mom was happy, and wish her, and the family all the very best - I am sure she will make new friends wherever she goes. Robert Harvey House Team and BCOP appreciate your kind words.
Although mum was only a guest for a few weeks, the staff made us feel like part of the family and we never felt as though we were alone.

Thank you for your kind comments - we aim to preserve a strong sense of family at BCOP - I am so glad that you felt part of our family and grateful for your kind comments to a team who work so hard to deserve them.
My mother had been in two previous homes and the experiences were very painful.
I feel if she was anywhere else she would have passed away by now but the love, care and attention she receives from the staff of Robert Harvey had kept her alive.
