Being newly refurbished, Harestane's facilities are second to none. Throughout the refurbishment process they constantly asked themselves 'What will truly benefit clients and what will make this a real home from home?'. They feel that the results speak for themselves. With four modern, attractive, homely lounges, two of which have french doors leading directly to the beautiful gardens. There are electric recliner chairs for added comfort and even Nintendo Wii consoles just in case anyone feels like a spot of tennis. There are two quiet lounges where clients can enjoy there newspaper or favourite book as well as two family lounges equipped with comfortable couches, a dining area and tea and coffee making facilities for the use of visiting families. These are ideal should visitors wish extra space when visiting with grand children and extended family. The bedrooms have been decorated to the highest standards, all with modern en-suite facilities. Every bedroom in Harestane has a view of the large landscaped gardens. Rooms are equipped with hotel style furniture and luxurious curtains. Clients are encouraged and helped to personalise their rooms with their own belongings and pictures to make it feel like home. As well as individual en-suite facilities, there are four assisted wet rooms and two assisted bathrooms. A varied programme of daily activities is available for clients enjoyment. Nursing and care staff are on duty 24 hours a day. On going training from induction to further professional development is an integral part of the Home's philosophy to continually improve standards of care.

My brother is being cared for by a truly wonderful team of care workers who have all been individually trained to deal with my brothers needs. My brother is not the easiest of patients but the staff deal with him professionally and compassionately. Because of this I have peace of mind that my brother
is getting the care and support he needs on a daily basis to make his life worth living. I visited numerous homes while searching for the most suitable home in the area and can safely say 100% that I picked the right one and was over the moon when they accepted my brother into there care.

I cannot thank this care home enough for the care and treatment they provided my gran. They went above and beyond for her and really engaged her within the home. Not only did they treat her with the utmost respect but they welcomed my family with open arms. Nothing was too big of an ask and they meet
all her needs with no hesitation. Harestane is a beautiful care home with loving staff and is such a credit to priority care. The manager is outstanding and it really does show within her work!

Sadly Mum passed in April 2024 after spending 15 happy months in Harestane Nursing Home. The staff and management team looked after Mum in a respectful manner and she settled in with no problem. We were always welcomed at Harestane and the staff knew us all as family. We would be consulted and updated
if Mum required medical treatment and we would discuss what would be best for her. Mum would take part in activities such as exercise class, and arts and crafts and when the musicians came along. She enjoyed the sing-along and loved to dance. The support we as a family received when Mum was in her final days was second to none. We would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking to have their loved ones cared for. All staff and management are credited to Priority Care.

My mum has been in Harestane since November 2023. I cannot praise the staff enough. My mum has complex medical issues and can be very difficult sometimes. The staff are amazing. Real living angels. They take excellent care of her and all the residents. They are always very polite and courteous. The
service, food, attention to detail, activities and events are more like a five-star holiday than a care home.
It gives me a great sense of peace to know my mum is safe and very well cared for.
The management team do an amazing job in running the home. It is always spotless and as a visitor, I always feel very welcome at any time.
The communication with the staff is excellent. I am always kept up to date with everything regarding my mum's care.
In reality, words cannot truly express the gratitude and admiration that I have towards the staff. They are wonderful real-life angels.

I feel the hard of hearing could be considered more, subtitles on TV, menus on tables (which were there for a short time) church service or entertainment, placed in a position where they can hear what's going on, making sure if asked a question they are understanding it. I have witnessed in an art activity
that my relative was at a table facing the wall and the activity was going on behind them. I have rarely seen anyone sitting and having a conversation with my relative and don't know if they really know anything about them.

My mother passed away on 1/1/24 after six years of the best care I could have wished for her. The staff were like a second family for us, nothing was too much trouble and my Mum was content and well looked after. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home and in fact, have already done
so several times. The manager and her staff are an example of how care should be delivered.

I can't talk highly enough about the loving quality care and attention my dad received at Harestane.

Always approachable and willing to assist Dad in any way.
Living abroad it was such a great comfort knowing Dad was being

My mother has now been in Harestane for 2 years. It was a difficult time for her (and us) for the 1st year but with the support, love, perseverance and extreme patience from the manager and mum's carers, she has now settled in well. The facilities of lounge areas, inside and outside are excellent and
there is always somewhere to go and socialise, albeit my mother needs to be encouraged to use all the facilities and the way the manager and staff do this is really appreciated. The appointment of an activities coordinator has worked well and great to see the events that are being planned and so enjoyed by the residents and families.
The staff know my mum very well (and me) and I have no worries about her care, it's great to know that they closely watch for changes in behaviour. They follow up quickly on any concerns from them, mum and family and keep us posted.
I know difficult to arrange but I'd love to see Mum have a 'bestie' to socialise with/watch TV etc, not sure that's possible for you

I hold the service and support from all the staff at Harestanes in very high regard.
The care they gave my mother, professionalism, and humour were second to none. I was informed both day and night of any problems with my mother, whether it was a fall or she was ill, not eating, nothing was left out.
There were plenty of activities and menus for all the residents.
Thank you for everything.

I cannot praise all of the staff's efforts and their genuine care and attention enough, the recent 5-6 grading from the care commission fully reflects the staff and the management's combined efforts across the care home, the activities that the staff put on is absolutely excellent and the attention
to detail for each of the residents is second to none.
The home and the staff have looked after my mum exceptionally during the Covid period, the care and attention with the dedication of all staff satisfies our needs. The manager and the staff are second to none, I wish them every future success.

Overall I'm very happy with the care my husband receives. I find the staff really lovely, very kind and caring. The garden and grounds are beautifully kept and a pleasure to sit in. The interior of the home is very well maintained. The use of the pool would be a massive plus. The room is quite small,
especially with using a hoist and a large wheelchair. The menu is varied and the food excellent but there could be a bigger selection of soft options.

My mother has been a resident at Harestane for 18 months now, she was very fortunate to be able to find a vacancy here after a 6-month spell in hospital because of poor health very late in life at the age of 91. I cannot thank Maggie and her team enough for turning my mother's confused and frightened
outlook around and into one of stability. By being shown kindness and patience, the experience of the staff gave her the time she needed to overcome her adjustment to not being at home with my father and getting used to her new surroundings. When I see my mother now, her cognitive and physical decline has slowed down to a level where there is very little change month on month, a vast improvement in her outlook at admission. The staff have been fantastic with my mum and have returned her to her old self! I cannot imagine there being anywhere better than Harestane to provide the care and round-the-clock attention my mum deserves. Once again thank you to the manager and all of your dedicated staff.

It is one of the most difficult decisions you ever have to make when you entrust the responsibility for the care of someone you love to someone else.
After much consideration, I chose Harestane as the place to care for my mother. I can honestly say the care she is receiving is exceptional. Maggie,
the manager, is committed to delivering the best service for all the residents in her care and I have observed how the staff respond to her lead. There is a very calm, happy and friendly atmosphere in the care home.
The lounges are bright and spacious and the daily activities are varied, stimulating and well-planned.
I can see how the support and stimulation provided by the staff have improved my mother's quality of life. I am very happy to have chosen Harestane for her.

Staff are excellent and very caring with both the physical and mental needs of our mum. The introduction of a snack trolley is a great idea. Day trips on a Friday afternoon are welcomed. Management is first class and communication is spot on. The introduction of Rise on a Thursday afternoon has helped
Mum greatly and she loves joining in all the activities.
We never worry about leaving Mum knowing she is in the best place and receiving the best care.

A particular member of staff, alongside others, has been outstanding with their care and knowledge towards my mum. Another member

My uncle chose this Home himself and was lucky enough to get a room.
The highlight of Harestane is the beautifully kept gardens with plentiful seating areas which gives a nice outlook from the rooms for those unable to get out. There are lounges for visiting families to take their loved ones rather
than sitting in the bedrooms if they wish. Although my uncle prefers not to take part in activities he is looking forward to an outing later this week. All staff are approachable and helpful as is the Manager, and the Administrator.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.696)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.696) out of 10 for Harestane Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.696 for Harestane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 270 Ratings = 4.696

  • b) 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 Harestane Care Home is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
