Along with my wife, we have been looking for a care home for a friend. Having visited around a dozen, it makes me appreciate the excellent care my mother receives at Harrier House. It is vibrant, clean, spacious, active and far more homely than any other we have recently visited. Whilst it may be at
the top end regarding price I can now appreciate what my mother is paying for.

The retirement home is professionally run by a hands-on manager and caring staff. Spotlessly clean rooms and facilities, including a dedicated activity team who organised a monthly programme designed to meet the needs of the residents. Hairdressing and spa beauty rooms are a bonus. The staff have made
special efforts to ensure all resident's birthdays are celebrated in style. My mother-in-law's 103rd birthday was superb. Celebratory breakfast, lovely cake and invitations for every resident in the home.

All the staff at Harrier House provide person-centred care in a respectful manner. They encourage independence, active participation and decision-making. The staff are diligent, attentive, and genuinely care. There are always lots of smiles, laughter and banter between the residents, staff and visitors.
The atmosphere always feels relaxed and calm. Visitors are made to feel very welcome, the staff are approachable and friendly. Queries are dealt with immediately and staff are only too pleased to address any concerns and offer help and advice.
The meals always look nutritious, and well presented and there is always lots of choice. The home is luxurious, tastefully decorated throughout, well-maintained and very clean and tidy. The garden is beautiful and easily accessible for the residents to enjoy, it is very well maintained. Security and safety for all are also key features of the home.
My Dad has settled very well into life at Harrier House. I highly recommend this care home.

My 89-year-old father had experienced a failed discharge from hospital and had been given an inadequate care package on discharge. I was left with no choice but to find my father emergency respite care at the 11th hour! The detailed care assessment my father received was very comprehensive, taking in
to account his wishes and personal needs, as well as looking at what specific care he needed. Clearly, this is done to ensure everything is addressed and a comprehensive care plan is put in place straightaway on arrival. This I have witnessed while my father has been at Harrier House, in terms of personal care, engagement in activities, encouragement to mobilise on his walker to assist his mobility improvement and the happy smile on his face!.The amazing care manager and the team went above and beyond to accommodate him and to keep him safe. My father has settled in straight away, which is not what I expected given his previous independence before hospital. A fantastic residential home.

The staff at the home are really caring and have the resident's safety, security and health as a priority. It is a pleasure to go and visit Mother and to see her so happy in this exceptional environment. It is also very nice to be able to sit in reception with her, away from her room with a nice cup
of coffee, just like on holiday or 'normal' living space. Harrier House is the best residential care home my wife and I have experienced and we have had two other relatives prior to my mother in other homes locally. Thank you for caring.

I have been a resident for 18 months and have felt supported and helped from the day I day I arrived and have been amazed at times by the willingness of the staff to do some personal care things when asked. Also, the care for medical needs are well looked after with care and regular consultation with
medical staff etc. The whole staff are concerned for each of us and work long hours cheerfully. Food is varied and the chef speaks to residents about choices etc. All in all, a very good place to be cared for.

Having experienced a number of care homes in my search for a home for my husband, who is only 57, Harrier House went above and beyond to make sure that this difficult time for my family was the best that it could be. The care home manager went above and beyond for all of us and one year on continues
to do so. The care home is wonderful, we couldn't wish for better, the staff are fantastic, well-trained and experienced in dementia care. Harrier House is just simply put... the best!

Mum stayed for 2 weeks respite but decided to stay due to her mobility but obviously also due to the professional, friendly, caring, efficient and reassuring staff. Harrier House is also beautifully furnished and maintained and also makes visits to Mum really pleasant. Mum is enjoying the company of
the staff, residents and also the many activities. The manager and all her team are so friendly and approachable. Thank you all.

I am enjoying being here, and it's a very nice place. The girls (and staff) look after me very well. The food is delicious, and I am very satisfied. It is a nice and cosy warm place to be in and I like the summer months when I can sit outside on my patio. I feel I am in the best room. All in all a great
care home!

Harrier House were very swift and accommodating when Mum needed quick care due to illness. The staff were very helpful and guided me through the whole process. Since moving into Harrier House, Mum has now started to be more like her own self due to the care and support from the staff who work there.
Family members feel included in her care and part of her experiences.

Mum has been a resident at Harrier House for 2 years now, she seems very happy doing many different activities with the wonderful staff who are very friendly. She enjoys the delicious food (and has put on about 2 stone in weight). My husband and I enjoy the special events they hold most months, we cannot
fault this lovely care home, ts the best one we have been to visit so far.

Absolutely brilliant! Harrier House gives 5-star treatment to each and every resident (and their visiting families). Its decor is stunning (akin to a luxury hotel). The food is amazing (and ample). Staff at all levels give 100% and more. The care and dignity bestowed is unbeatable with the utmost cleanliness
and empathy and compassion. It's such a joy to know my mother has the very best.

For the past eighteen months my partner has been into Harrier House for regular respite, every time he goes in we are welcomed warmly, he stays for two weeks and during that time he is looked after very well and treated with care and dignity, which puts my mind at ease knowing he's safe and secure,
he stays in a lovely clean bedroom, the food looks delicious, and he can attend activities through the day. Recently we had a crisis in the family, the manager was informed and she went out of her way to help and guide us to get the help and support we needed, so yes I would certainly recommend this home to family and friends, as I am so grateful for all their help.

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.
