My dad had an ITA at the weekend, the quick-thinking staff phoned for an ambulance and he was taken to hospital. The following day, after he had been discharged, he returned to Harrier House. The staff soon realised that my dad was worse than he was the previous day. They contacted the ambulance, which went to Harrier House. He was re-assessed, and they discovered an infection had been missed at the hospital. Without the knowledge of my dad, they quickly knew he wasn't right.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Harrier House. We are so pleased to hear that you have found our team to be quick-thinking and attentive to yourdad.Thankyou.
Since my father first came to stay for respite, due to the onset of dementia. The care has been excellent. He is now in the home permanently after renal problems, which gave him not very long left in life. However, the dedication of all the staff has been second to none, and he is still with us a year and a half later. His room is beautiful and always clean. The day room are a joy to be in and the staff provide plenty of daily activities to entertain the residents. I recommend Harrier House to anyone looking for high quality care.
I very much doubt she would have reached this milestone without the care and support she receives at Harrier.
She think of it as home and the staff do all they can to make her feel at home.

Excellent in every way. The staff do everything they can to make life as good as it can be. I was a temporary resident, but was treated equally as well as the permanent residents. The atmosphere was very welcoming and I was treated with dignity and respect at all times. The food was excellent and plentiful. The choices and variety were to my taste and I think would be to most peoples satisfaction. Every aspect was though of, leisure, activities, laundry, and medical requirements.

Harrier House Care Home provides exceptional care for my lovely Mother-in-law. The staff are attentive, compassionate, and genuinely care about the residents' wellbeing.
