Review from Noreen L (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We looked at lots of care homes for our mam. A few of them were not suitable, 'dark' (nothing going on) etc. As soon as we entered Harton Grange, we knew this was the place. Beautiful, bright and management, care staff, activities staff can't do enough. Our mam is very happy here and we are so pleased.
It is so friendly. A home from home.

Since our mam has been in Barchester Harton Grange Care Home, she has loved it. Mam has a lovely room and has made this her home. The staff are wonderful and caring and very approachable if we need support as a family. There are activities every day which our mam enjoys. The food is very good with lots
of choices.

Homely feel. Staff refer to my mum and myself by name and keep me informed of incidents. If I have any issues, I always feel at ease to discuss with staff.

My mam has settled well around staff who treat her with love and kindness. The management and staff have made the most difficult and distressing time of our (daughters) lives into a very bearable one. We always feel very welcome and very included. It is a very happy place to visit and we never feel
unheard or ignored.

My mam has been in Harton Grange for nearly 5 years. She is very well looked after by the lovely management, staff - from carers to caterers, cleaners, entertainment staff etc, which gives us peace of mind. The home is immaculate and the manager runs a very good team/tight ship to ensure that all
of her staff are approachable and helpful. I would not want any different for my mam.

My dad has been at Harton Grange Care Home for over 7 years and is happy there. The staff are great with him and always talk to him. Senior staff are more than happy to address any concerns or queries about him and the home will always ring me if any issues arise. My mam visits daily and she is treated
with respect and care. I would recommend this home to any family who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their loved ones.

My mother in law suffers from dementia. Since arriving at Harton Grange, she is well looked after and cared for with dignity. The staff are wonderful and often, even when busy, make time for residents, when they require more one to one care.
The staff always have a smile on their faces when dealing
with often difficult residents. The activities coordinator is also wonderful at helping them to remain active.

It would not be fair to mention names as the entire staff are first class. We looked at a few homes but Harton Grange Care Home came highly recommended and on viewing it, it has that homely feel about it.
The staff are most caring and treat everyone with kindness and dignity. The building itself is
well maintained and clean. The food, facilities, and activities are very good. My mother is very happy here and calls it home which just about sums it up.

A very clean and tidy home, good care has been taken to ensure the appearance of building, grounds and indoor and outdoor furnishings are clean.
The staff are very friendly and professional and answer any query you ask.
The care my parents are getting is second to none and are treated in a friendly

My father has been a resident here for a couple of months (previously unhappy and getting depressed in his previous care home). He has settled straight away. His care needs have been listened to and met by both staff and management. He is always out and about on trips and participating in activities.
He is happy, talkative and is really settled. There are always snacks available - fresh fruit and biscuits. The staff are so friendly, they keep me fully informed and my dad has found his 'forever home'. A great team of people - a credit to your company.

My father in law has been in for respite for 2 weeks and I am extremely pleased with the care that he has been given, all members of staff from the cleaners, cooks, nursing staff and management have been extremely helpful, friendly and caring.
Being a healthcare professional myself, I can honestly
recommend Harton Grange as being an excellent care home.

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.
