Overall Experience

Our lovely friend has sadly had to move into care after a hospital stay. Since being there he looks better. He is clearly well cared for and all the staff we have met have been kind and helpful. The home is very clean and well presented. Our friend enjoys the food and likes the staff. Overall we are reassured by professionalism of all the team. Thanks to you all.

Review from Paul D (Son of Resident) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

During this extremely difficult period for the family, we have been comforted to know that Dad has been looked after so well. Nothing has been too much trouble for the excellent staff while looking after him and seeing that my mam is cared for too. Nothing can really prepare a family for the loss of a loved one but the care he has recieved, the immaculately clean home surrounded by wonderful staff lessens the pain. We cannot thank everyone here at Harbour View Care Home, Whitehaven enough.

Overall Experience

We cannot thank the staff of Harbour View enough for their kindness, compassion and open and welcoming approach to our family. During my father-in-law's stay, every effort and more has been made to make his time safe, secure and comfortable. These angels on earth have not only looked after him but have also looked after us, especially my mother-in-law. Immaculately clean, great food and the warmest, most caring staff we could wish for. Thank you so much for all you do.

I cannot praise all staff enough. They have looked after my husband so well. He is comfortable, content & that means a lot to me. I go home knowing he is very well looked after. I also want to thank everyone for making me so well looked after, (my hugs &meals.) They have made me feel more like a special friend than a visitor. A very big thank you to all

Review from Cathryn P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The outside flowerbeds were a bit neglected with no seating near the door. An idea would be to involve community or schools to help grow and plant flowers etc. As my father was a private person and did not want to bother anyone he did not always ask for pain relief. A small chart in his room near the bed with initials for medication & tick boxes would have allowed us to see if he had his meds am & pm included on the list. Apart from the odd hiccup and losing his pain patch once which was dealt with, very good care.

My Granda recently moved into the care home and Im so glad he went to Harbour View. He has received the best care from the staff who work at Harbour View, they have helped reassure my Nana and all of us with the sudden change of him moving into a care home knowing he is well looked after. So grateful.

Review from Sian C (Sister of Resident) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

my sister in law received excellent care while in harbour view she was treated with dignity and respect and we couldn't fault any part of her stay in there. When she was end of life the family were also cared for and nothing was ever a bother and we were kept up to date on what was happening. We got to spend the last month of her life laughing and reminiscing while she was getting the utmost care. Thank you

Myself and my family are very happy with the care that's being delivered to my dad. He was admitted in a very frail/poorly condition and has settled in well.

All staff from maintenance, domestic, to nurses and management have shown my dad and us as a family great care, compassion and kindness. I know that he's in safe hands and is receiving the care he needs that we were no longer able to manage.

My Nana is well looked after. The staff are compassionate and look after her with the dignity she deserves.Rooms are clean and well decorated, domestic staff work really hard , carers are always at hand when needed and provide excellent care for my Nana, they inform us if she is running low on her favourite toiletries.
Food is of good quality and meets my Nanas fortified dietary needs, management very approachable if I need to discuss anything with them.
My Nana loves her fleece blankets these are washed by the laundry staff and always smell lovely.

Activities are provided and my Nana is encouraged to participate

My Dad entered Harbour View from hospital for end of life care. He was a resident for two weeks. During this time he was treated with care and dignity. The staff were excellent and made his time with them very comfortable. On the day of dad's passing we were also treated with love and care. I can't that he staff at Harbour View enough.

Review from Lorraine H (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum has been in Harbour View for a year now and we are very happy with her care. I live a long distance from the home and therefore visit monthly. I have had consistent, excellent communication with the Office and Care staff regarding my mothers condition, as and when it changes. I feel able to contact the home with any concerns and all situations have been fully resolved in a timely manner. This means a great deal to us because of the distance. When I visit I am always made welcome and allowed to stay as long as I wish in mum's room. I have found the actual inside of the building to be consistently spotless and mum's room is wonderfully neat and homely. Her laundry is done daily and to a high standard. We speak daily and she is always talking about the warm and friendly staff. She loves the food too! The high level of Duty of Care mum receives has been evident to me throughout her stay and I feel sure it will continue. The warm bonds she has forged with the staff there are a delight.

Overall Experience
My Mother became a Resident at Harbour View in February 2025 following a stay in Hospital.
From then to the present my Mother has received an excellent standard of care at Harbour View.
The Staff have helped make this difficult time easier for me and my Mother with their professionalism and the quality of care she has received.
I have also found the Care given to my Wife to be exceptional and second to none.
At this difficult time the Staff at Harbour View have made matters easier with their care and professionalism. My Wife has been made to feel comfortable and safe and she is enjoying her stay there in Respite.

I would not hesitate to recommend Harbour View to anyone.

Overall Experience

My father in law has settled into the home brilliantly. The rooms are clean, comfortable and homely. My father in law has medical needs and the staff are excellent with meeting his needs and looking after him. They build a rapport with him and have built a good relationship with him very quickly. He is quite active and the staff make sure that he never gets bored with activities daily and spend time with him having a chat. Would definitely recommend for your loved ones, it has taken off so much pressure knowing that he is getting well looked after.

Mum has settled into Harbour View really well following a traumatic start.
The staff have all been extremely welcoming and are very friendly and helpful.
Although she is a picky eater, Mum has put on weight since arriving, and so the food must be to her liking!

I would prefer if care staff changed uniform before serving food, or possibly to be done by kitchen staff.

Leanne MorganJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 2022

My name is Leanne Morgan. I have been a qualified adult nurse since 2005. I have worked in a variety of roles during my career, starting off on the Elderly care ward at the West Cumberland Hospital, then moving to work as a community nurse in the Whitehaven team for 9 years. Whilst my 3 children were young, I was offered a position as a school-aged immuniser, which was great at the time for family and work-life balance, but I missed general nursing.

In 2020, I applied for a job role as a night nurse at Harbour View, where I was successful in gaining this position and was quickly promoted to Deputy Home Manager. I worked as the Deputy Manager, and in 2022, I was successful in promotion to Home Manager and have been in this role ever since.
