Reviews for Harton Grange Care Home

Great staff, great atmosphere, and excellently run the kind of place I would want to spend the twilight years of my life if I had to be in care, typical Barchester home first class care all the way

Harton Grange is a Home away from Home for the aged. The staffs are superbly organised and they offer the highest level of care you could ever seek.

"As it's my father's 100th birthday, the home has taken great strides in the care of my father and other residents. The time he's been at the home he has had the best attention possible, and care from the staff who in my opinion are fantastic."

"The staff at Harton Grange do an amazing job providing a safe, caring and comfortable environment for their residents. Families are made to feel very welcome and are kept well informed. Meals are well prepared and varied. There is a pleasant garden for residents and their families to socialise or relax in.

"I am only here at the home for a short time each day but what I see is that every one of the staff is in the right job, i.e. they are caring, hard-working, kind and thoughtful. The home itself is warm and welcoming and this again is all down to the staff."

"My sister has been in this home since November 2017. When looking for a home for her, on my very first visit on entering the building, I felt a warm, friendly, homely feeling and knew this was the place for her - and I was right. From management, carers, chef and kitchen staff, housekeeping, laundry and activities, everyone works as a team in a very friendly and caring way and at the same time with great respect to the residents. I am happy to leave my sister in their care."

"Unfortunately, we only have experience of the care home during Covid so we have no experience of the day to day activities. However, my mam seems to be doing as well as we could expect with the support of the staff."

"I am extremely happy with this provider. Mam is very well cared for, she is clean, well presented and well-fed. The staff are exceptional, professional, helpful, polite and sociable. I am kept well informed about mam's care at all times. I am kept well informed about mam's care at all times. I cannot speak highly enough of the protocols that staff have put in place to protect residents during these very challenging times. They have done and continue to do a sterling job. I have every confidence in them."

"My mother is very happy in Harton Grange, she is well cared for and is served nutritious meals and plenty of snacks and cups of tea. The staff are very caring and always hand if needed. It wasn't easy agreeing to my mam living in a care home but as she was no longer able to look after herself this was the only option. I now realise this was the right decision as she is safe and contented."

"The staff who work here are fabulous they go above and beyond to help residents and relatives. Nothing is too much bother. From management, carers, kitchen, staff and cleaners. My mum is always clean and tidy. As is her room especially since a new carpet was put down. Staff keep on top of Mums washing (I don't know how with all the other things they have to do). All questions are answered honestly when I ring Mum is brought to the phone very quickly."

"My wife was admitted into Barchester Harton Grange Care Home in April 2022 on a six weeks respite. However, this was made permanent. At first, she was not happy there because she had never been in a home before. However, with the care and attention of the staff, she soon settled in. I do not know how many adjectives I can use about the staff but try caring, attentive, superb and brilliant. I remember the party they put on for Her Majesty's Jubilee was excellent. It was apparent they had worked hard to achieve the occasion's success. Anybody entering this home will be pleasantly surprised. Marks for the staff out of 100 must be at least 110."

"My mum who is 89, absolutely loves Harton Grange. Her ensuite room is lovely and always clean. The staff are always smiling and friendly and Mum loves the meals and activities. It's always a joy to see Mum's happy face. I would recommend Harton Grange to anyone in need of such a facility. There is excellent security with entry and each ward section is only accessible via a staff member's card."

"Was very disappointed that not one member of staff was there to represent the care home at my relative's funeral despite the fact that the crematorium was literally around the corner, I thought she was a much-loved resident of the home having been there many years. The home, when I visited, was lovely and the staff very caring so you can understand I found this very upsetting!"

"Could use many words and all extremely complimentary - the care given to my mum has been way beyond expectation. From management to entertainment, to chefs and all the angel carers. Fantastic and a credit to Barchester - Such a comfort to know Mum is in a home-from-home, only better. I notice the carers have a lot of paperwork, taking them away from residents - only negative."

"I was very impressed with the care and effort made to offer entertainment and trips out for suitable residents that fit their particular needs. If I had to make a slightly negative thought, it would be the amount of paperwork the girls have to do, which obviously takes them away from the residents."

"Harton Grange staff are caring and have a lot of dignity and empathy for patients. The manager is always hands on and there if you need advice. I would definitely recommend this home to families looking for care and compassion for their mother/father."

"Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is excellent. A warm welcome always from all staff/manager. All staff are approachable with any queries the family may have. My father has only been here a short while. His Alziehmers is in the late stages now but he has settled in well. His previous care home was horrendous. At Harton Grange, they have activities on always throughout the week/weeks. Dad is reluctant sometimes to be washed and dressed but staff have already recognised when he is fully awake he's fine. So very happy that Dad is being cared for here, stress-free."

"Absolutely fantastic experience since my great-nana came in. She is cared for well and it's clear how happy and comfortable she is. She is always telling us when she's had her hair done or sausages for breakfast. It's great to see her so content and doing so well at 101 and that's down to the staff here looking after her 24/7. Also to add, the the staff provide so much support to my nana and auntie, making sure they know exactly what is going on and take care of every detail. Seriously a 10/10 for them all."

"My review of Harton Grange is that the staff and management are fabulous. They listen, they care and go beyond the call of duty. I feel safe that my father is cared for, he is well, has wonderful meals and is entertained. The day trips have been amazing and Dad was recalling (in his own way) how fantastic the museum day trip was, he loved it, loved the bus ride and enjoys the company. We as a family are very day surprised at the effort put in by staff, it's 5 stars. Very, very happy."

"Me and my son come to visit my nana every day when we come on holiday to South Shields, The staff at Barchester Harton Grange Care Home are all amazing ladies and gentlemen who are fantastic at their job. I feel at ease when I'm not in South Shields because I know she's being cared for properly. We love coming to see her."
