My husband became a resident of Harwood Court in May and loves it there. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating and they all know the needs of the individual residents and spend quality time getting to know them. I would not hesitate in recommending it to others.

The staff are excellent. The problem I have is that Dad's memory and mobility have deteriorated since lockdown started last year. We need more time to visit as the time we have left is very precious. Could you look into visiting in their rooms? Visitors would literally come in the door and go to the
resident's room. I need to sit with Dad and keep him company for his sanity and mine.

I feel the management and staff look after my mother very well. I feel that they genuinely care about her as well as caring for her. During the pandemic, they have done their utmost to help us keep in touch.

Harwood Court continues to provide my 103-year-old mother with a very high level of attention and care. I cannot fault the staff on the quality of the home. Excellent all round.

I have felt much happier knowing that my mother is being looked after so well 24 hours per day by staff who are prepared to go that extra bit forward to help and assist. I couldn't wish for her to be anywhere else. A big thank you to all.

Mam came in as respite. To be honest, met my sister-in-law came to Harwood Court to visit 1st and after our visit, we didn't want to look at any more, it's a friendly, relaxed place, that always has time for you and your family. The staff from laundry, kitchen, maintenance and the carers (amazing bunch)
to management will go out of their way to make sure mam is happy and well cared for. It's not the poshest but it's most defiantly the best. Can't recommend the carers and staff enough. Can it be improved, absolutely but as far as the staff go, they are the best.

It is a great relief to know Mum is in such good capable hands. As Mum's condition has changed due to the onset of dementia it is very reassuring to see how much tender care goes into looking after and meeting her needs in a thoughtful, caring and professional manner.

The staff are always a pleasure and my Nana is much loved and well looked after. They always have time to talk and let me know how my Nana has been. It is a bright, spacious and immaculately clean home. My Nana loves it. She never has a bad word to say and she has even offered to get us a room!

Our mam originally came into Harwood Court for respite as she had been ill after two stays in a hospital. Her mood was very low and she had stopped looking after herself. The change after two weeks was amazing she continued to improve both mentally and physically. We put this down to the care she had
received from the staff and management and the good nutrition. She has now decided to make her home at Harwood Court as she feels safe and cared for here.

The staff are most caring and considerate. Not only towards my mother but toward her family and friends who visit.
They also treat everyone with respect and we are confident that their combined efforts will ensure the proper outcomes with patient care.

From the first contact with Harwood to now, their friendliness and professionalism have been excellent. The warmness of their welcome has made my mother feel so at home and special. She always said "anything and everything I need I have only to ask and it appears". The staff made her feel so special
and cared for her and my family with a great sense of humour.

Our initial meet with staff 'dressed as an elf' lifted the mood from the start. My mother-in-law was made to feel at home, welcome and safe. I cannot commend Harwood more highly, as a nurse myself I have high expectations and these were met without question. Allowing us as a family to feel able to rest
knowing our mumsy was happy in her final chapter of life. Thank you.

Reply from Yvonne Reilly-Cooper, Area Manager at Harwood Court

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.
