My mum moved to Harrier House in October 2021. We both knew that she needed to go into care, but after 68 years in one home, we were both dreading it. Everyone was kind and welcoming. The accommodation is first class and access to the patio is a real bonus. after only two weeks Mum decided this was her new home. The manager heads up a team of caring and skilled people who all go the extra mile. I've got my Mum back. Thank you.
Harrier House is a lovely care home. It is beautifully decorated and the staff that I have met have been excellent and very helpful. My auth has settled in very well and is happy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased to hear that your aunt has settled in well.
I came for a months respite care and after two weeks I knew I could settle down at Harrier House and make it my final home. The carers are lovely and I feel they are part of my family. There is such a variety of food. The activities are amazing. I went out in the garden with my hat and coat on when I arrived back I was welcomed with a hot drink and biscuits. I am perfectly happy and content that this is where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy you chose Harrier House as your new home and that you have settled in as part of our family.
We've had a pleasant experience of a day visit and loved the offer of lunch which is a huge factor. Food and service was really delicious and we ate within the pub. Lovely decor and brilliant hotel standards. Staff were all very welcoming and seems happy to be here.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's always lovely to hear that our visitors are being well looked after when visiting their loved ones.
Since being in Harrier House the resident's quality of life has improved dramatically. The management and staff were very helpful and made sure that she settled in well. It has taken a great deal of pressure off us and we know that she is safe and being well cared for.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so happy to hear that you are happy with the level of care and service. It's always nice to hear that we are making a difference to our resident's quality of life.
My grandmother was due to arrive at Harrier House but due to the Covid outbreak throughout the home, it was delayed. The manager informed us immediately, gave us as a family so much support and arranged for grannie to go to the sister home. The manager kept us updated throughout, gave us reassurance and was a friendly voice. She was always at the end of the phone when we needed her. On the day grannie arrived she waited to greet us and made us feel so welcome. We felt at home. She walked grannie to her room.
Thank you for your kind words, we are so glad that your grannie is now settled at Harrier House.
When I arrived at Harrier House the manager welcomed me, she showed me to my room which I am so happy with - the double bed is so much better for me. I felt like I was in a hotel! The manager had a chat with me and it felt like home. All the staff have been so kind and helped me, they give me a shower every day which is very important to me. The food is lovely, especially the cakes. The staff always offer me a choice and never rush me. I really enjoy being here, they make my family feel so welcome which again is important.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It's wonderful to know how much you are enjoying the facilities, care and of course the cake.
Very pleased with the support and service provided from the very first visit to having my mum arrive. They are caring and helpful and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process. I feel happy my mum is to stay in a safe caring environment. The rooms are such a high standard. The whole place is a credit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It’s lovely to hear you are pleased with the support your mum receives and that you would recommend Harrier House.
Staff and management are very polite, nice, friendly and caring. They do not rush and they take their time to explain things. I am made very welcome on every visit.
Thank you for leaving a review, we really appreciate your feedback. It's great to hear you are happy with the care your relative receives and that you think highly of our care home.
From day 1 we have been included in every part of her care and have been made to feel so welcome.
They are managing to keep our loved ones safe and follow the Covid rules but still allowing us to be a part of their lives, which many care homes don't seem to be able to do.
The care and compassion match the beautiful surroundings. Only the best for our mum and Harrier house provides this. All staff tell you how much they love their job and the residents and this shows.
We are very thankful that we waited till this was up and running and we are grateful for everything they do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent review. We really appreciate your feedback. We are so happy to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of care your mum receives and that you would recommend our care home.
Harrier House is a beautiful residential care home. The rooms are well decorated and spacious with ensuite facilities. We have been made to feel very welcome by all the staff, who are very friendly and caring. My mother has received excellent care there and since leaving hospital has made huge improvements for her condition. She likes the girls who care for her, her room and the outside area with the aviary, where she sits in the gardens. She has also been enjoying the food, especially the fish and chips.
Thank you so much for leaving a review. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. It is so lovely to hear that your mum is happy and her condition is improving.
Beautiful room and views from the window. Very caring staff and a very good experience so far.
Thank you MB for taking the time to leave us this review.
