Harrier House Care Home provides exceptional care for my lovely Mother-in-law. The staff are attentive, compassionate, and genuinely care about the residents' wellbeing. The home is always clean and welcoming, with a joyful atmosphere and engaging activities that my Mother-in-law enjoys. It's comforting
to know she is in such capable hands when we can't be with her. I highly recommend Harrier House!

Harrier House is very well appointed and the interior finish is to a high end standard. Relatively new (4 years old), the staff are welcoming and always keen to help with anything. They cannot do enough to make one's stay a pleasure. It's warm, comfortable and spacious. Very clean and tidy and maintained
to a high standard. The rooms are spacious and have ensuite facilities. Staff are available 24/7 via a personal button. My stay, to date, has been 8 weeks, I have enjoyed every minute. If I needed full life care I'd stay here. Fully recommend. Food was excellent and mainly prepared from scratch.

The staff and care are beyond compare - as visitors, we're always welcomed warmly and enjoy the activities we can share like the quiz nights.
The staff are kind, sensitive, good humoured and always helpful.
The home itself is beautifully clean, spacious and I have stayed in 4-star hotels which are
not as lovely. Thank you all.

My Mamma is really happy here and says she loves it. The staff and the residents are friendly. Any issues that we have raised to the home have been promptly addressed.
The activities are fabulous, with boules and trips out. The hairdressers and nail bar are a big hit.

The staff are very friendly and supportive of my granny as well as my family. They give my granny the expert care and support she needs due to having dementia. They get her involved in lots of activities which she thoroughly enjoys. After my grandad passed my granny required a lot of support which the
staff were able to provide excellently. My granny feels comfortable and has been able to build relationships with each of them and smile again.

My grandparents both moved into Harrier House following my grandad sadly being on end of life care and unable to care for my Granny with dementia. The whole team and staff were incredible and so supportive with the whole transition for both my grandparents and close family. We were all greatly supported
in such a difficult and distressing time, with food being provided and care being provided to my grandparents so the family were able to spend precious, quality time with them both. There are so many activities for the residents to do and my granny immediately felt comfortable and was integrated and I know the love and care that was given to us meant the world to my grandad. Thank you all.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the compassionate care my father-in-law received in his final days and for the ongoing, loving support provided to his wife who has dementia. Every staff member was not only attentive but genuinely caring, treating both of them with dignity and respect. They made
sure every need was met with patience and understanding and always kept us informed which brought our family great peace of mind. The environment is warm and welcoming, the team go above and beyond to make it feel like a true home.

This care home is a caring and professional-run home. Our mum has been in here since 2021 and tells us that the staff are all friendly and treat her well. She loves the food and enjoys some of the activities (ie. carpet bowls) but can't join in others (ie. knitting, bingo etc) as her eyesight is not
too good now. But all in all, she is being looked after and is safe and warm so the family can relax in the knowledge that this is happening. Well done Harrier House!

My brother became a resident in March 2024. He is diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia. Prior to this, I had cared for him in his home, visiting on a daily basis for basic needs and care. However, due to him living alone, he soon became melancholy and depressive. His short-term memory is only 15 to 30
minutes. He had contact with me by phone and rang 40 to 50 times a day asking the same questions and needing reassurance. Due to his short memory, he believed he spent all of his time alone.
He initially went to Harrier House for 2 weeks of respite care in March. There was an immediate improvement in his mental state due to the care and attention paid to him by the staff.
6 months on and the care remains excellent. Residents engage in various activities and staged events to involve family, which certainly serves to improve my brother's well-being and have no doubt staved off any fall into depression.
I can't thank the management and staff enough for all the effort put into the care they give him.

My dad recently took ill with a suspected mini-stroke. The staff were amazing. They called straight away for an ambulance. They contacted me also and a member of staff stayed with my dad until the ambulance arrived. 40 minutes later the ambulance arrived and they took my dad to our local hospital. It
was confirmed a transient ischaemic attack and without their care and attention to duty, things could have been worse.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Harrier House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.945 for Harrier House is calculated as follows: ( (602 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 635 Ratings = 4.945

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harrier House is based on 53 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 53 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
