My wife and I are reassured by the level of care provided for my mother by the staff at Harbour House in view of the physical and mental impairments which she has. The staff are very friendly, helpful and caring and the premises are always clean and tidy. My mother is content at Harbour House and appreciates the help and care she is given by the staff.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we appreciate you taking the time to tell us how reassured you feel in the care provided to your mum.
My Husband moved into Harbour House on December 23rd 2021 and has settled very well thanks to the help and support of all the staff. Having spent a considerable period of time in hospital, the transition to such a caring environment has benefitted my husband immediately. I feel immensely reassured by him being in such a safe, caring and comfortable place.
Thank you so much for your kind words, very much appreciated
The facilities are excellent and Dads dietary requirements are catered for at each mealtime. There are various activities planned throughout the week and residents have 1:1 time with staff too, should they wish.
Dad also has a wonderful view of the harbour from his room!
Lovely review and such kind words thank you, I will pass your feedback on to the Team at Harbour House.
Our wee Pops joined the family at Harbour House at the end of November. Family and friends have been very impressed, not only with the surroundings but every single member of staff we've interacted with. Couldn't be more helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful rooms, dining room, sitting rooms, TV rooms. We're always made to feel very welcome and the kettle is on before we can even get to Pops' room with a lovely array of cakes and biscuits. He's even had his hair cut in the lovely salon and his toenails cut within just a couple of weeks. Doctor has been called when necessary and we're always kept informed, even with minor ailments. His room is filled with lots of his pictures from home. We have complete peace of mind knowing Pops is being well cared for and will settle in time with the help of the lovely staff. The manager is wonderful as are all the other staff looking after him. Would highly recommend having your loved ones cared for here.
Thank you very much we appreciate you taking the time to write such lovely words, I will be sure to pass your comment on to the Team at Harbour House.
The staff are very attentive and professional.
Everyone is so welcoming.
The food is fresh and Dad has gained weight which is fantastic.
We can’t thank the staff enough for going above and beyond delivering great care. It is very reassuring to know our Dad is in good hands and his care needs are being met! Well done to all the hardworking team.
Another great review of the Team at Harbour House, thank you we appreciate your kind words.
Mum has been at Harbour House for several months now, and in her own words, 'they [the staff] can't do enough for you'. Since she arrived at Harbour House, mum is much happier than she had been for a long time. She looks much more like her old self and is visibly thriving. She does, of course, get fed up being restricted to being at Harbour House but that is no reflection on the care home – just her frustration at her own condition and the limits that her condition imposes on her.
From my own side of things, Harbour House staff are always extremely polite and helpful. The home is always immaculate and the staff are attentive.
Knowing mum is in a safe, caring environment has allowed the rest of the family to sleep easier at night.
Lovely words, thank you for taking the time to express how happy you are.
I would highly recommend the care home, as since my mum went in I have complete peace of mind regarding her care needs. Staff are very caring and helpful, food prepared to high standards and covers all dietary requirements. The care home itself is a new modern facility, kept to a high standard of decor and cleanliness. My mum has settled in very quickly due to 24-hour care and enjoys the company of staff and residents, especially at the regular group activities.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it is very much appreciated.
Since moving into the home it has taken Mum some time to adjust as she has lived alone for more than 29 years. She enjoys her chats with the residents and the care and nursing staff have been very kind and attentive to her. Knowing Mum is being well cared for gives me peace of mind. There have been quite a few changes in management staff however the current manager is introducing good changes, e.g I can log on each night to see what my Mum has done that day in activities. I am always made welcome by the staff.
Thank you for your feedback Karen, it is nice to hear of the positive experience you and your mother have had. The team and I are very much looking forward to continuing to work with you.
The home is lovely and clean and I believe the food is very good.
Thank you for your kind review, we will pass this on to the team here at Harbour House.
She says it is like being in a five-star hotel with all the lovely food. She is really looking forward to moving to her new room.
It is a great location.
It was her birthday this month and they made it a very special day for us both.
I would recommend this care home very highly and have been trying to get some of Mum's old neighbours interested.
Thank you for your lovely review, we will be sure to share this with the team.
The home is in a fabulous location, which will offer us so much more once lockdown is over. Everyone has done their best in the circumstances. It hasn't been easy for anybody, let's face it.
Thank you very much for your lovely review, we will share this with the team here at Harbour House.
They have been diligent in doing everything in their power to help her understand where she is and what is happening to her. I have been kept involved throughout and have been informed about all the steps they have taken to meet my wife’s needs.
Covid restrictions have inevitably limited family contact so I am very appreciative of the effort that has been made to ensure I can maintain contact with my wife safely.
Although not yet in full swing, the staff have created a very positive atmosphere despite the difficult circumstances faced. I have been reassured that she is in the right place.
Thank you very much for your review, we have passed this on to the care team here at Harbour House.

Meet the Team (3)

We are proud to introduce Lauren McGrath as our Registered Manager at Harbour House Care Home.
Lauren has worked for Morar Living for four years, beginning her journey as the Home Administrator at Harbour House. During this time, she completed her SVQ and progressed into the role of Deputy Manager.
She then moved to Head Office, where she supported the organisation in a variety of roles, primarily as a Support Manager. In this position, Lauren worked closely alongside the Regional Operations and Quality teams, gaining valuable operational and compliance experience.
In 2026, Lauren returned to Harbour House as Home Manager. The team and Lauren are committed to creating a positive, safe environment where everyone feels respected and heard. Our dedicated team ensure high standards of care and a welcoming community for Residents, families, and visitors alike.

We are delighted to introduce Anitha Owens as our Deputy Manager at Harbour House.
Anitha works closely with the Home Manager and our team to support the smooth running of the home to deliver high-quality, compassionate care.
She deeply values building strong relationships with residents and their relatives, ensuring everyone feels welcomed, listened to, and confident in the care provided.

My career in Care began when I was 19 years old, and I started my Business & Administration Apprenticeship for a company called Beyond Homecare (care-at-home business). This role introduced me to the care sector, and I quickly learned that this is a sector I enjoy working in.
After a couple of months into the Apprenticeship, I also started to do care shifts at the weekend. I learned how fun and rewarding a care assistant role can be. I stayed at Beyond Homecare for 3 years when my apprenticeship finished. I then joined Haddington Care Home as a Care Assistant in January 2023. I then got promoted as a Team Leader while doing my SVQ 3. The Team Leader role was challenging, however, so rewarding. During my time as a Team Leader, I started to work some days as the receptionist/administrator; by helping to do that, I realised I had missed working in the Admin side of things in the Care sector. I then applied for the Reception / Administrator role at Harbour House.
