Harwood is a very homely home. Clean, warm and staff are very attentive, friendly and always smiling.
Has a real feel-good atmosphere among all staff including management, carers, cooks and even the maintenance man. Long may it continue.

I first came upon Harwood Court when my mother became a resident in June 2023. Prior to that, her health was failing and a number of consecutive falls meant regular visits to A&E. I had never experienced life in a care home before my mother's inception and although it was difficult at first, visiting
and then leaving her, not knowing how she was coping with the new surroundings, it soon became apparent she was settling in really well. The carers are very friendly and attentive and always have a smile on their faces. Nothing is too much for them. Her room is always clean and tidy, bright and cheerful. The management have always made themselves available and have been very helpful when required. In short, my mother is very settled and happy with her surroundings and the care she is receiving. I too am extremely happy and have confidence in the way she's being cared for at this time of her life. Thank you to each and every member of staff.

My mother-in-law became a resident of Harwood Court over a year ago. At that point, her health was failing and she had suffered from ongoing falls that had generally led to almost routine visits. Although being naturally anxious at first, she quickly became comfortable and confident within her care
setting and the improvement to her health and overall demeanour was a joy to see. Without exception, each and every member of staff have proved to be very helpful and friendly. We cannot fault the Management who have always made themselves available and gone that extra mile to ensure that all needs are met. Her room is always clean and tidy, and she is afforded the privacy and dignity of having her own private toilet and wash basin. The staff continue to support my Mother-in-law in every possible way. From the everyday needs of dressing, bathing, and mobility to a weekly visit to the hairdressers and nail bar, a highlight in her diary. Thank you everyone.

When Dad needed respite care about 4 years ago we visited other more modern care homes but chose Harwood Court over the others as we got an immediate positive feeling about the staff who took time to introduce themselves and ask questions of Dad.
After a week of respite, he asked to stay permanently.
He
passed away on 30th June 2023 in the home.
The staff here are superb and made Dad feel like a member of a bigger family. His care was brilliant and he really loved everyone at Harwood Court.
I would certainly recommend this care home and believe that Dad's life was extended as a result of living here.

Reply from George Ward, Home Manager at Harwood Court

Thank you for your review; I will share it with the team. Your dad was such a huge part of our home and helped shape so many parts of what we do here at Harwood Court; setting our tables daily ready for our lunch service. It was a privilege to take care of your dad and the whole team felt so much grief when he left his home for the last time, he will never be forgotten.

I am a friend of a resident at Harwood Court.
On the occasions, I visit the home I have been impressed with all I have encountered. Through my involvement and connection with the local methodist church, I have a long standing connection - the main advantage I feel is the size of the home which appeals
to most.

Reply from Cheryl Taylor, Home Manager at Harwood Court

Thank you for your lovely comment it really does make a difference to me and the team to see that our hard work and dedication to providing a high-quality service is seen in such a positive light. The home has recently undergone a refurbishment and I am pleased to say it has turned out beautifully and will benefit all our residents ensuring they have a nice environment to live in. We look forward to seeing more of you in the future.

My father was taken to hospital in May and was in and out after that at the end of August he was put on end of life. We fought to get him home and eventually succeeded. He was delighted! He spent his last week and a half being so well cared for and loved (as he has always been). I could not praise all
the staff highly enough - a wonderful home.

Reply from Sarah Bell, Home Manager at Harwood Court

Thank you for the review; I will share it with the team. Your dad was such a huge part of the home and helped shape so many parts of what we do, helping design the garden areas, getting involved in recruitment, the menu planning and not forgetting his wonderful letters - we miss them so much. It was a privilege to take care of your dad and the whole team felt so much grief when he left his home for the last time, he will never be forgotten.

It is such a relief to know that my Gran is safe and cared for. Every time I visit there is such a lovely atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The residents are given quality care and included in making decisions about what they do with their time, both day to day and in the long term.
I am constantly reassured that the decision to move here was definitely for the best. Thank you to everyone at Harwood Court.

Reply from Sarah Bell, Home Manager at Harwood Court

What a lovely place it's definitely a home from home. All staff are extremely pleasant and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Mum's health appears to have improved immeasurably since she became a resident here. She is happy and enjoys all the activities. Always clean and presentable too.
Cannot
recommend this place highly enough.

Reply from Sarah Bell, Home Manager at Harwood Court

I will share your review with our team and as always if there is anything else we can do please let us know.

When Mam first came to Harwood she isolated herself and was reluctant to join in with the activities, even eating her meals alone in her room. Now she is settled she participates a lot more and is clearly enjoying herself. The staff have been instrumental in this change, being consistently positive
and always treating her with kindness.
I live in Chesterfield and management have been excellent in keeping me informed of even minor changes.
I cannot thank you all enough.

Reply from Sarah Bell, Home Manager at Harwood Court

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review, your mum has been on a journey with us and it is great to see we have now been able to get her engaged in activities and socialising with others. We have really noticed a positive change in her wellbeing. Your mum is so lucky to have such a wonderful family around her. I hope, over the coming months, you can all come into the home and enjoy taking part in activities with your mum.

I have always been extremely happy with the care my mum receives after being unsure of a care home in general. I now feel it's been the best choice and as a care home, I couldn't have chosen better! I enjoy my time with my mum when I visit and I am made to feel very welcome, so thank you.

Reply from Sarah Bell, Home Manager at Harwood Court

Thank you for the lovely review, we love having your mum live with us, she has settled in so well and it was lovely to hear her say she wanted to stay after being here for a few days. I will share your comments with the team and I hope you both enjoyed your afternoon tea here at the home.

Mam was only here for respite, but good luck to them getting her home as she loves it here. She loves the staff so much and is dreading leaving.

It was the best thing for my father to enter Harwood Court, it was also his choice. The care, love and kindness given were amazing. Staff became family to the residents during lockdown when no one could visit. They kept residents safe and well.

Reply from Sarah Bell, Home Manager at Harwood Court

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we all miss your father so much, he was such a kind and caring man. We were so lucky to meet him and spend so many special moments with him. We will also miss you as you became part of our Harwood Court family too.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.193)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.193) out of 10 for Harwood Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.736 for Harwood Court is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.736

  • b) 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 4.457 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harwood Court is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.6

    • ii) 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.857

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
