My 93 year old mother has been here for 18 months. This resident-centred nursing home has a real family feel and is well run by a great team of people. The wonderful staff who care for Mom work incredibly hard and always treat her with kindness and compassion, respecting her dignity at all times. Her bright, spacious room is kept immaculate and spotlessly clean. The menu is varied, food is always delicious, and tailored to mom's needs. Mom loves joining the many different activities, which are always fun, lively and well run. Always kept updated about mom's health. Management are welcoming, always available for a chat and very supportive. Reassuring for us as a family, that Mom is so well cared for, safe and secure.
It is wonderful to know that your mom enjoys the activities, food, and her surroundings, and that you feel supported and updated as a family.
Thank you for trusting us with your mom's care. Your support and appreciation truly mean so much to us all.
The home is continuously clean, the reception and office staff are welcoming, the nurses on the floor where my dad lives are always friendly, making sure my dad is clean, fed and drinks fluids and will assist if unable to do so himself. They will always engage in conversation and to involve him with the activity staff, who are wonderful. His room is always clean and smells fresh. I know he is safe and no concerns. The nurse station always says hello and informs me of Dad's progress. A wonderful nursing home.
I'm so pleased to hear that your dad is happy, safe, and well cared for. It's great to know the team are making you feel welcome and keeping you informed.
Your kind words mean a lot, and I will share them with the whole team.
My review shows the excellent care my late wife was given on her last days at the home. Staff managers, care staff, and the catering dept gave me help and advice for her last days. I would recommend. The attention given on this sad occasion with a well-run home. Hygiene above average. Their well organised staff. Credit to all.
We are glad to hear your wife was cared for with dignity and support in her final days. Your feedback about our staff, management, and catering team means a lot, and we will share it with them.
Our sincere condolences.
this review is just a nice mention about this member of staff who i think does go above her standard job role to keep every one happy and always give her best care.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very pleased to hear about your positive experience. It is wonderful to know that our staffs care, kindness, and support are appreciated. Your comments will be shared with the team, as they mean a lot and encourage us to continue providing the best care for all residents.
My mom has been in Harborne Lane for a month. All the staff have been very helpful and caring. They work hard to meet the patients' needs and keep them happy and comfortable. Mom has been made very welcome.
We're really pleased to hear that your mum has had a positive experience during her first month with us. It's wonderful to know staff hard work is being felt and appreciated. Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care.
My husband was a resident at Harborne Lane Nursing Home for 3 years. He was always very well cared for by all staff. He was always smartly dressed by the carers. Food was always good. Activities are good even though my husband couldn't take too much of an active part; the activity staff involved him as much as they could.
Thank you for your lovely words. Were so glad your husband felt well cared for, and it means a lot to know our team made a difference to him and to you.
The home itself is clean, well-maintained, and provides a warm, welcoming environment. Rooms are comfortable and personal needs are always taken into account. The variety of activities offered helps residents remain engaged and active, contributing to their overall wellbeing.
Meals are of high quality, with consideration given to individual dietary requirements, and the dining experience is both enjoyable and sociable.
Overall, I have complete confidence in the care and support provided here. It offers both residents and their families peace of mind, knowing that loved ones are in safe and caring hands.
There have been a few teething problems regarding her hearing aids being lost, damaged by being washed in the laundry, not being put in mom's ears, and sometimes not have working batteries in them. This has improved recently
Mom looks well and, although she's confused most of the time, she is always grateful for the care given to her.
Mom enjoys the activities provided and hopefully, the full programme will return once the new activities coordinator starts employment.
I have expressed concerns about TV content that is shown for a lot of the time. Wall to wall soap operas have never been my mom's choice of viewing. Maybe a bit more variety and music content could be explored
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that your mom is well looked after and that you feel kept informed. We acknowledge the earlier issues with her hearing aids and are glad to hear there has been improvement we will continue to monitor this closely. We also appreciate your...
So happy my relative gets the support he needs and it's alovely home clean and a happy place with stunning gardens.
Staff can't do enough to help you and always make you welcome.
Keep up the good work all
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased you're happy with the care and support we provide, and we'll certainly keep it up. Your kind words mean a lot to the whole team.
We were always informed of how my Mother was from medical attention to what she had been chatting about. It felt that she really had individual care and attention. There was always someone to ask questions to with information always given. Even after my Mother's death, they dealt with the family's feelings with thought and respect. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. It was a privilege to care for your mother, and we're glad you and your family felt supported. We will share your feedback with the whole team, as it means so much to know our care made a difference.Please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss.With best wishes,The Harborne Lane Nursing Home Team
Overall experience is good. Staff and cleanliness of the home are good. Food has recently been improved, ie. food prepared for my father's liking. Staff do advise when medicine, and food not eaten by my dad.
Kindest regards,
Gary
My mum was admitted in April 2022 after a serious stroke. Not the most cheerful lady or accepting of care, she didn't understand what help she needed. We have been amazed by the care and attention that the manager, the deputy manager and the receptionist and the amazing team have shown to mum and also to dad who visited almost daily. The loving way you supported us until mum's peaceful death in the home will long remain in our memory. It was a good day when I chanced upon your home and we will happily spread the word about your care.
When I visited in July it was restricted visiting but the staff were very welcoming as usual. They went above and beyond to make me and my friend comfortable during the pandemic.
The care home was purpose-built. Therefore the accommodation and facilities are excellent. The central heating system has been commented on several times and has to be monitored. I find it strange that there are no thermometers anywhere in the building. There is still a need for agency carers on occasions, usually weekends, which brings the care standards down from excellent to good. There does not seem to be sufficient supervision of carers on those occasions. There are some excellent staff in other positions, i.e. admin, laundry and cleaning and they often provide care over and above their duties in order to make the residents more comfortable. The nurses are all excellent and provide nursing care of the highest standards.
Showing your appreciation on this website is valued by everyone at Harborne Lane. It is always a pleasure to care for our residents.
Staff work hard and feel valued when they learn about reviews such as this.
We are grateful for your kind words.
Thank you for the time and attention you gave to my sister whilst she was with you, it really was appreciated. Everyone was so thoughtful and attended to all her needs with a smile and a little chat. I can't thank you enough for the kindness and care she received from the staff.
