Review from George E (Husband of Resident) published on 31 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted into Barchester Harton Grange Care Home in April 2022 on a six weeks respite. However, this was made permanent. At first, she was not happy there because she had never been in a home before. However, with the care and attention of the staff, she soon settled in. I do not know how
many adjectives I can use about the staff but try caring, attentive, superb and brilliant. I remember the party they put on for Her Majesty's Jubilee was excellent. It was apparent they had worked hard to achieve the occasion's success. Anybody entering this home will be pleasantly surprised. Marks for the staff out of 100 must be at least 110.

The staff who work here are fabulous they go above and beyond to help residents and relatives. Nothing is too much bother. From management, carers, kitchen, staff and cleaners. My mum is always clean and tidy. As is her room especially since a new carpet was put down. Staff keep on top of Mums washing
(I don't know how with all the other things they have to do). All questions are answered honestly when I ring Mum is brought to the phone very quickly.

My mother is very happy in Harton Grange, she is well cared for and is served nutritious meals and plenty of snacks and cups of tea. The staff are very caring and always hand if needed. It wasn't easy agreeing to my mam living in a care home but as she was no longer able to look after herself this
was the only option. I now realise this was the right decision as she is safe and contented.

Unfortunately, we only have experience of the care home during Covid so we have no experience of the day to day activities. However, my mam seems to be doing as well as we could expect with the support of the staff.

After my last visit to Harton Grange, I was overjoyed to see everyone happy and seeing their loved ones. I always enjoy visiting this home as a lady is part of my parish. It is good to see that the home is opening.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been in this home since November 2017. When looking for a home for her, on my very first visit on entering the building, I felt a warm, friendly, homely feeling and knew this was the place for her - and I was right. From management, carers, chef and kitchen staff, housekeeping, laundry
and activities, everyone works as a team in a very friendly and caring way and at the same time with great respect to the residents. I am happy to leave my sister in their care.

Everything in the home is very good. Staff are excellent when I come to visit my mam. When asking for something to be done they do it (not straight away as there are other residents to see to) but you don't have to wait too long.

I am only here at the home for a short time each day but what I see is that every one of the staff is in the right job, i.e. they are caring, hard-working, kind and thoughtful. The home itself is warm and welcoming and this again is all down to the staff.

My mother has been a resident of Harton Grange for over two years now. The care and attention is second to none. The 'team' are led by the manager, who expects the residents to be treated as if they were their family member. Nothing is taken for granted. In your heart of hearts, you know it's the best
decision you have taken for your loved one to become a resident of Harton Grange. From the top to the bottom, the staff team work as one with the focus on the well-being of the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Barchester Harton Grange 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.938 for Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.938
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is based on 32 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
