Overall Experience

Moving from your own home to a residential care home is a significant step in life. The Staff at Harbour Manor helped my Mother to realise both the necessity, and benefit of doing so. Their understanding, appreciation and sensitivity to my Mother's needs is a thoroughly positive experience. For my Mother,

and all our family. We are very grateful for the level of care and attention provided by the staff, and the uplifting atmosphere created by them.

Harbour Manor provide excellent care. The staff are caring and friendly. There are lots of activities for residents to join in with. Meals are excellent, varied and healthy. It is truly 'a home' and not institutional in any way.

Overall Experience

My father had also stayed at another care home in Suffolk that I thought was good but this made me realise how excellent Harbour Manor is with outstanding care. I did not have to worry at all about him having respite here. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Made welcome from the moment arrived.

Was a very comfortable stay I will certainly use again. I was trying think of something they could improve on but could not think of anything.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Harbour Manor

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review for Harbour Manor, I am so pleased your father settled so well and enjoyed his respite stay with us. We will look forward to welcoming dad back to Harbour manor again soon.

Overall Experience

From the moment of first contact we were treated with the utmost kindness and consideration. There was no question we asked that went unanswered. All our concerns were addressed and laid to rest. We were assured that my mother would receive the very best of care appropriate to her needs and so it proved

to be. I would say that all the staff there went beyond their job spec to make my mum comfortable and happy in her final days. My gratitude is very long lasting.

Very emphatic staff, always pro active with residents and visitors. Harbour Manor always pleasing on the eye, clean, maintained and well looked after.
My mum, whilst confused at times, is looking better the longer she lives at Harbour Manor. She knows she is looked after and cared for. Long may this

last.

Overall Experience

There is a genuine friendliness amongst the staff at Harbour Manor which extends to residents. This shows several things, the home is well run and well managed, and the friendliness extends to the residents who are very well looked after in all respects. The facilities are excellent, of course, but

so is the home's commitment to providing activities for residents. Harbour Manor was recommended by a friend and we have found it all we had hoped for. Another family member who has worked in care homes visited recently and is very complimentary. We made the right choice for my mother and I have no hesitation recommending Harbour Manor.

Overall Experience

From the very first visit to Harbour Manor we were so impressed. The rooms are like hotel rooms with plenty of beautifully furnished day rooms for residents to relax in.
My mum moved in and hasn't been this happy and healthy in years.
The activities that are arranged are fantastic and although mum

doesn't join in with all of them she thoroughly enjoys the ones she does, especially the trips out to garden centres and pubs!
The care she receives is wonderful. I cannot recommend Harbour Manor enough. We no longer feel guilty for mum having to go in to a care home as her life has improved in so many ways since moving to Harbour Manor. Thank you to everyone there for all they do.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Harbour Manor

Thank you for your fantastic review, I am so pleased how impressed you are with the facilities Harbour Manor has to offer and more importantly how happy mum is. Harbour Manor offers a wide selection of activities both inside and outside the home and it is great to hear how much mum is enjoying them. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mum moved into Harbour Manor two weeks ago, after not being able to settle at another care home.
The facilities are absolutely wonderful, with each resident having their own en-suite wet room.
Mum loved her room straight away, it is so bright and modern.
The care Mum has received so far has

been excellent from all the team at Harbour Manor.
As a family, we have felt so welcome, and nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you to all the team at Harbour Manor, it is so reassuring that Mum is so happy.
I would recommend Harbour Manor to everyone!

My dad is the first resident here in this brand-new care home. The home itself is lovely, well-decorated, and equipped. Each bedroom has its own en-suite shower room and a television. There is a large lounge and dining room. On the next floor, there is a cinema room.
The staff are all very friendly

and efficient. My dad is well looked after and cared for. The food is wonderful and my dad is eating well. Nothing is too much trouble. My dad loves it here.

Overall Experience

Following an enquiry and tour of Harbour Manor with the Manager we picked it for our Dad who needed to be discharged from the hospital to a Care Home in a hurry. They assessed him and arranged his transportation very quickly and efficiently.
He was the first Resident at this brand new Care Home which

is like a luxury hotel, all of the staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble, he is well looked after and always treated with dignity. The food is of excellent quality and presentation. He is very happy there and can't say enough positive things about the staff and the Home. We couldn't have made a better choice. I would recommend Harbour Manor to everyone
