Overall Experience

Following a hospital stay and a need for respite care my mother needed a break and time to recoup. Quickly assessed for her needs the team sorted a variant of care and support and nothing was too much trouble. I would like to thank the managers and the team who made a great difference. The top floor staff were amazing and mum had some good laughs along the way. Keep up the good work guys it is very much appreciated.

Reply from Louise Porter, Business Development Manager at Harbour View Care Home

Overall Experience

The care which my Mam received at Harbour View was simply outstanding. From the very first moment I met with the lovely and understanding Manager I couldn't have felt more reassured and confident that my Mam was going to be looked after brilliantly. The staff are so caring, efficient and welcoming, nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The bedroom was spotless, with a commanding view over the Harbour, enabling all our family to feel uplifted each time we visited. The food looked and smelled delicious. The staff who looked after Mam were so charming to her that she instantly felt at home. Medication was professionally administered and we were regularly informed of Mam's condition. This is a fantastic establishment; I cannot speak too highly of the loving and respectful team.

Overall Experience
My mam went to Harbour View for end-of-life care, as she had advanced dementia and other medical issues, the home is very clean, the rooms are beautifully decorated and the staff are amazing and professional. The staff showed great care and compassion for my mam and made her feel welcomed and safe. They treated her as an individual and tried their hardest to ensure the last couple of weeks of my mam's life were peaceful and calm. In a very difficult time, with Mam's complex medical needs, they treated her with the highest care and respect and made her feel that she was part of their family. They also made us, the family, feel welcomed and also made sure we were kept fully informed about the health and wellbeing of my mam.

I cannot recommend Harbour View highly enough and I will always be grateful for the way they looked after my mam.

Reply from Tessa Matthews, Marketing at Harbour View Care Home

Overall Experience

My Mam was in Harbour View for a short 6 days before she died but I wish we had found this nursing home sooner for her. The home is clean, tidy and welcoming and the staff are all kind, caring, compassionate and they really looked after my mam and us as a family. My Mam had suffered a severe stroke and they were able to meet her complex needs and make her as comfortable as possible during her time with them and kept us fully updated and communicated with us well at all times. The other residents all looked happy and content to be there and the staff spoke to everyone as if they knew them inside out. I know the thought of nursing homes for your loved ones can be daunting and a worry but please look around Harbour View as it is a lovely place, with good staff, lovely rooms with lovely views and I felt settled knowing how well my mam was being looked after.

Overall Experience

My mam went into Harbour View after 4 months of being in hospitals. We were over the moon when mam got a place at Harbour View. From when she arrived she recieved excellent care and service as did we, her family. All the staff are so professional from management to carers, nurses, domestics, kitchen staff and maintenance. My mam was only at Harbour View 24 hours and our family cannot thank this team enough for the excellent and dignified care given to my mam at the end of her life because you all made a massive difference to the rest of our lives. Thank you all.

Review from Susan Q (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was delighted to find that Harbour View could offer respite accomodation at short notice for my mam. After initial anxiety about going to Harbour View, my mam settled nicely into the warm, friendly environment. The room was pleasant and the overall ambience of the home was welcoming. All the staff I met were polite and friendly I went away reassured that mam would be well cared for. Chatting to Mam following her stay she commented on how friendly everyone was and how lovely the meals were. The activities coordinator was a bubbly person who obviously enjoyed her role in the home. Mam is already booked for her next stay. Thank you Harbour View.

Overall Experience

My granda suffered from dementia and was placed into Harbour View Care Home. He was looked after superbly and with the upmost amount of care and I cannot thank the staff enough. They looked after him until his passing and supported him in his new surroundings. Harbour View allowed my granda to meet new people and enjoy a different experience and he loved it. The staff are friendly and down to earth, especially with the residents. I couldn’t thank Harbour View enough for their support after my granda’s passing.

Review from Ailsa H (Niece of Resident) published on 1 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Uncle came into the home for short stays to start off with for a couple of days here and there, until his condition worsened and he moved in full-time. I was a bit hesitant at 1st as my dad had stayed in Harbour View Care Home previously till he died and his care was questionable. Since the new manager has taken over she has turned the home round a full 180 and the care for my Uncle was second to none from the day he went in until the day he left. We were very well looked after by the staff especially the day my Uncle passed the staff were fantastic making a difficult day that bit easier.
I would recommend the home to anyone that is having to make the sad decision to have to place their loved ones in residential care.

Well done to the manager and everyone who works at Harbour View, you are all outstanding and I can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience
Harbour View Care Home, is an outstanding care home.
I witnessed first-hand after my partner moved in how dedicated the staff are.
The home manager and all the staff, at every level, are brilliant.
They are a hard-working team, that gives care and support not only to the residents but to visiting family members
The short time my partner who then became my husband while in the home received care on and above a level that is exceptional.

He sadly passed on the 23rd March 2023, aged 52, the staff, I cannot thank you enough for everything they brought to the last weeks of his life, with their support and care on a level that is outstanding. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.

Overall Experience
I have nothing but praise for the facilities and staff. The staff go about their work diligently and professionally showing compassion at all times. There is a positive culture where residents and visitors are supported. Meals are adapted to suit individual preferences.
Security is good with keypads on all exits.
Professional advice on process and funding is also available. I was introduced to the manager who was most helpful at all times.
End-of-life care provided was exceptional, approached with dignity and care.
The facility is having a phased refurbishment and the room we had use of was clean and tidy.

Thanks to everyone involved. Keep up the great work.

Staff caring for my friend were exceptionally professional and friendly. Staff were always looking for ways they could help make my friends stay with them as comfortable as possible. No request from us as friends was too much. The home had a friendly and calm feel about it and was exceptionally clean. I can't thank the staff enough for their care and support, I wish them all the best in the future.

The staff are very caring and patient with my brother. He is treated with respect and dignity and they often go out of their way to provide him with little things e.g. cheese sandwiches in the middle of the night if he can't sleep. His room is satisfactory for his needs and kept clean. The staff have been magnificent over the pandemic in helping to keep the home safe and secure.

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.
