I am very happy with my husband's care. The Carers and Managers always take time to talk to us. We both enjoy the entertainment and events. Everyone is very helpful and kind. I feel so grateful that he's so well looked after. He loves the food, especially the cakes.

My husband was admitted to Harrier Lodge with generalised frailty and disorientation after his condition deteriorated such that I could no longer care for him safely at home.
The staff gave him a lovely welcome as he arrived (he had received respite care at the home a few months previously). He responded well to this as he was settled into his room.
Sadly, he continued to deteriorate. He had been suffering the effects of frailty for many months, and it became evident that he would need end of life care. During the last week of his life, he was cared for with kindness and compassion as, indeed, was I. He always appeared peaceful, comfortably supported with pillows, and as he was by then unable to take fluids, his mouth was kept moist and fresh.
I have a nursing background, so I know good care when I see it.
The care I witnessed was a great solace for me during a very sad time jn our lives.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review, during what I am sure, is a very difficult time for yourself, and your loved ones.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review, during what I am sure, is a very difficult time for yourself, and your loved ones.
It has been a privilege to not only support with Don's care during his last few weeks, but also to have the opportunity to get to know the two of you as people - it means so much you were able to take some solace from the care Don received, in his final few weeks.
I will ensure that your comments are passed on directly to the individuals that looked after Don.
All the very best,
Kyran
My mother spent 3 weeks at Harrier Lodge convalescing after major surgery. The atmosphere was lovely. It always seemed fresh and clean. Welcome entrance with cafe. Staff very kind and caring and there was excellent nursing care and knowledge where needed.

Several staff were very patronising and we honestly don't believe they were fully aware of his medical needs. There was no compassion or dignity
We are sorry to hear that...
We are very sorry for your loss and would like to offer our sincere and heartfelt condolences to you and your family. We recognise how difficult this time must be and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your father’s care at Harrier Lodge.With our deepest sympathies.

My brother and I, with Mum' (94), decided in November 2023 that Harrier Lodge would be a good place for her to move to as her anxiety and memory issues were beginning to be a worry. She settled in fairly quickly and from that moment our minds were very much at rest. The home is very comfortable, clean, light, with good food, and a garden to sit in. There are regular activities and it is very friendly. Mum's dementia worsened but she was always treated with humour and respect. Sadly she recently became ill and deteriorated over a week until she passed away. The staff on her floor were totally amazing. They were caring and careful, both with mum and with us. There was always someone to call on, nursing and medical care was taken care of and the subtle and sensitive way all the staff dealt with the situation was beyond wonderful. We can't praise them enough. The staff feel like family now and actually we shall still see them as my mother in law has now moved in! Thank you so much!!

My 6 month experience of Harrier Lodge has been truly positive. Not only is the standard of care high and individualised for my father, but the staff and residents are becoming like an extended family to me and my relatives who visit regularly. The home itself is very clean and comfortable. The fact that the home is built on a slope gives the added bonus of first floor outdoor space, accessible to residents and their visitors. Staff are very welcoming from the outset and encourage visits, even a coffee in the cafe, before making up your mind. My father chose this home himself and settled quickly. We thank the staff for being there for us.

Harrier Lodge had been highly recommended to me already by a good friend, whose mum had been a resident there previously. My partner was given a short, terminal diagnosis and we were lucky enough that a room was becoming available within a couple of days. An assessor visited him in hospital to be sure that they would be able to cater to his 'complex needs' (as the consultant worded it). Sadly we aren't able to name names, but all the care staff and nursing staff showed amazing care and compassion, both to my partner and myself. His medical and care needs changed over time, but they were regularly assessed and changed when needed. Extra little touches like being asked what his favourite foods were, as he wasn't able to communicate what he wanted and they wanted to make sure he was given meals he would enjoy. I visited every day and was always made welcome and could help myself to freshly made pastries, cakes and drinks. I always left knowing he was safe, comfortable and well cared for.
She has absolutely thrived in there. She has Dementia, Type 1 Diabetes as well as other full-on nursing needs. The staff have cared for her so well. They have encouraged her to join in...
Thank you from all Mum's family & friends x
My brother has been in Harrier Lodge for respite for the last 3 months. The service he has received has been exceptional from nurses, carers, cleaners, management and everybody who I have not mentioned. He himself says that he would go back without hesitation if needed.

My dad has been living with dementia at Harrier Lodge for several years. The Harrier team are a group of amazing people. They are kind and understanding, encouraging independence as well as providing outstanding care. The lifestyle coordinators provide many activities and organise visiting entertainment to Harrier Lodge as well as trips out using the minibus. Thank you to everyone for helping dad to live a safe and happy life.
The staff could not have been more supportive or caring to both myself and my mother during the very worrying months last year when the whole of Mum's financial situation was under scrutiny. They did everything they possibly could to keep Mum safe with them at Harrier. I can’t thank them enough....
The whole Harrier experience for me has set a very high bar that I haven’t seen bettered anywhere else. I am very impressed with every member of staff and the efforts they go to make their residents happy, calm and content. From the kitchen, laundry, reception and office staff to the wonderful men and women doing the personal care and keeping everyone entertained. A first-class care home in my opinion. That is my very grateful thanks.
My dad is a resident at Harrier Lodge, he is living with dementia. All the staff are so caring and understanding to both Dad and us, as a family supporting Dad. The lifestyle team offer a lot of fun and lovely activities. I am happy Dad is getting the best care possible at Harrier Lodge.

The whole team at Harrier Lodge including the management have been so welcoming and kind to our aunt. She has a lovely spacious room, very comfortable and clean. It’s such a relaxed and calm environment for service users and their families. Daytime activities are well organised and nobody misses out, even if they cannot leave their room. The Housekeeping team do a marvellous job, as all of the clean washing comes back to our aunt pressed and hung on a hanger. You would not be disappointed with the services on offer here.

Returning for a second, three-week respite stay at this outstanding care home. Harrier Lodge is home from home, with a wonderful atmosphere, warm welcome, caring, friendly staff in all departments who really take pride in their work. It is spotless with bright and airy decor throughout. You can be solitary or social but with a fantastic programme of activities, there is something to suit all.
