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.

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.

My mother has been resident at Harrier House for over 2 years and is now 104 years old.
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. The home is always clean and welcoming, with a joyful atmosphere and engaging activities that my Mother-in-law enjoys. It's comforting

The staff and care are beyond compare - as visitors, we're always welcomed warmly and enjoy the activities we can share like the quiz nights.
The staff are kind, sensitive, good humoured and always helpful.

The staff are very friendly and supportive of my granny as well as my family. They give my granny the expert care and support she needs due to having dementia. They get her involved in lots of activities which she thoroughly enjoys. After my grandad passed my granny required a lot of support which the
staff were able to provide excellently. My granny feels comfortable and has been able to build relationships with each of them and smile again.

My grandparents both moved into Harrier House following my grandad sadly being on end of life care and unable to care for my Granny with dementia. The whole team and staff were incredible and so supportive with the whole transition for both my grandparents and close family. We were all greatly supported
in such a difficult and distressing time, with food being provided and care being provided to my grandparents so the family were able to spend precious, quality time with them both. There are so many activities for the residents to do and my granny immediately felt comfortable and was integrated and I know the love and care that was given to us meant the world to my grandad. Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Harrier House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.936 for Harrier House is calculated as follows: ( (518 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 551 Ratings = 4.936
  2. 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 Harrier House is based on 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 46 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
