"Since our mam has been in Barchester Harton Grange Care Home, she has loved it. Mam has a lovely room and has made this her home. The staff are wonderful and caring and very approachable if we need support as a family. There are activities every day which our mam enjoys. The food is very good with lots of choices."

"We looked at lots of care homes for our mam. A few of them were not suitable, 'dark' (nothing going on) etc. As soon as we entered Harton Grange, we knew this was the place. Beautiful, bright and management, care staff, activities staff can't do enough. Our mam is very happy here and we are so pleased. It is so friendly. A home from home."

"My mother has been a resident of Harton Grange for over two years now. The care and attention is second to none. The 'team' are led by the manager, who expects the residents to be treated as if they were their family member. Nothing is taken for granted. In your heart of hearts, you know it's the best decision you have taken for your loved one to become a resident of Harton Grange. From the top to the bottom, the staff team work as one with the focus on the well-being of the residents."

"My mam has been in Harton Grange for nearly 5 years. She is very well looked after by the lovely management, staff - from carers to caterers, cleaners, entertainment staff etc, which gives us peace of mind. The home is immaculate and the manager runs a very good team/tight ship to ensure that all of her staff are approachable and helpful. I would not want any different for my mam."

"My dad has been at Harton Grange Care Home for over 7 years and is happy there. The staff are great with him and always talk to him. Senior staff are more than happy to address any concerns or queries about him and the home will always ring me if any issues arise. My mam visits daily and she is treated with respect and care. I would recommend this home to any family who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their loved ones."

"My mother in law suffers from dementia. Since arriving at Harton Grange, she is well looked after and cared for with dignity. The staff are wonderful and often, even when busy, make time for residents, when they require more one to one care. The staff always have a smile on their faces when dealing with often difficult residents. The activities coordinator is also wonderful at helping them to remain active."

"It would not be fair to mention names as the entire staff are first class. We looked at a few homes but Harton Grange Care Home came highly recommended and on viewing it, it has that homely feel about it. The staff are most caring and treat everyone with kindness and dignity. The building itself is well maintained and clean. The food, facilities, and activities are very good. My mother is very happy here and calls it home which just about sums it up."

"Harton Grange Care Home is a fantastic care home. Quality of care is outstanding, management's door is always open when got any question. Management is outstanding too, couldn't ask for better. Mam has settled really well. Couldn't ask for more."

"A very clean and tidy home, good care has been taken to ensure the appearance of building, grounds and indoor and outdoor furnishings are clean. The staff are very friendly and professional and answer any query you ask. The care my parents are getting is second to none and are treated in a friendly and personal way. The management give 200% into the running and responsibilities of this home. The food is good and a good menu."

"My mother lived in Harton Grange for over eight years and made good friends with residents and staff alike. I was made to feel very welcome during my daily visits, which I could make at any time. If I couldn’t make it in, I would ring up and the staff would give me an update. Nothing was too much trouble and I could express concerns, which would be dealt with immediately, at any time. My mam had dementia/mobility issues and the staff tried their best to make her comfortable and keep her engaged. When I was in my mam’s room it felt like I was home with her as she had her pictures and ornaments around, together with her favourite music playing whilst we looked through photographs and chatted. After each visit, I felt happy mam was being well cared for and was safe. Harton Grange has a friendly, relaxed feel but I appreciate that all the staff work very hard to achieve this."

"My wife's father has been a resident here for a couple of months and we are very happy with his care. Not only is he happy and very settled, my wife is also a lot happier as he was depressed in his previous care home. My wife always looks forward to seeing her father as staff always keep her up to date with his weekly outings and activities. The staff and management are a credit to the company."

"My father has been a resident here for a couple of months (previously unhappy and getting depressed in his previous care home). He has settled straight away. His care needs have been listened to and met by both staff and management. He is always out and about on trips and participating in activities. He is happy, talkative and is really settled. There are always snacks available - fresh fruit and biscuits. The staff are so friendly, they keep me fully informed and my dad has found his 'forever home'. A great team of people - a credit to your company."

"My mother was so against going into a home in July 2015 so had already decided she would not like this move at all. I eventually realised she was now needing the 24 hour care that myself and my eldest son could not give her. We realised that she was becoming isolated, lonely and now required the company that only her own age group could give her. She was becoming anxious which was leading to aggression towards us whenever we left her alone for any length of time. I therefore realised she needed the stability of a good caring environment to help her settle down and she could then trust a good care team to help and support her. I felt this would comfort her, allowing her to have the quality of life she now deserves in her twilight years. Within days of her moving into Harton Grange she became a different person from the last few years when we thought we had lost her and did not known who she was. We were given a fabulous welcome from the manager and her team who opened their arms out to my mother and us as her family. My mother was loved by everyone and she glowed with the attention she was given, she was encouraged to participate in the many activities the home provided for their residents. Beautiful surroundings, fantastic garden, many things to do daily including outings on their own transport. My mother absolutely loves her room, the staff, her new-found friends and I now know she is happy when she sometimes has not got time for me when I visit as she is now too busy to talk to me and dismisses me. Haha Thank you Harton Grange I honestly do not think we could have found a home anywhere as good as this one! You are all doing a fantastic job when your residents settle in to their surrounding so quickly and extremely happy! What more could I ask for my mother?"

"Across the board, the staff try their best to make my mother comfortable and happy and entertained., Special mention to those who give you their time to fundraise doing raffles and bingo, pie and a peas night, artwork, animals to pet and having her nails done was a first for my mother who is 94 years old."

"My mum is a resident at Harton Grange and I must say I rate it second to none. The care is exemplary. It feels like a 2nd home. The staff are fabulous and very willing, attentive and nothing is too much trouble."

"My mother has dementia, after working in an office until the age of 73. The staff at Harton Grange treat her with dignity and she enjoys a personal rapport with them and in spite of dementia, her own personality is encouraged. The musical entertainments frequently held are enjoyable to my mother and other residents. I chose this home in part because it was dog-friendly. Her dog was always welcomed and she particularly liked the chef at garden party buffet events."

"Mam was given a lovely room. The staff are lovely. Food is lovely, carers do give Mam a lot of attention when she's feeling anxious when I can't be here. When she has her meals, myself and my brother are always offered a meal too. Staff are always coming round with coffee and biscuits with a lovely friendly caring manner."

"Staff at the home are always friendly and welcoming. I always feel my mam is getting the care and support she needs. She is well looked after by carers who have a great understanding of her condition. I feel mam is safe at all times which makes my life easier knowing she is being cared for by people who care. My only niggle would be sometimes items of her clothing have gone missing, even when labelled but this is understandable."

"Myself and family looked for a care home for our dear mother who at the time was 87, November 2015, after visiting a good few care homes in the area we came upon Harton Grange Care Home and instantly felt at home by the staff. Mum was made very welcome by all she has been here just over a year now and all the staff bend over backwards to look after her. She has attended all the parties and get-togethers run by the staff sometimes in their own time, we couldn't have found anywhere better, it's actually home from home x"

"Mam has been at Harton Grange for 9 years. If it wasn't for their excellent care she would not be here today. Mam always says she enjoys the meals and that there is plenty. The home is always clean and the staff busy. We are always informed of any medical appointments or medication for Mam and if there are events happening at the home. There are activities and trips out, crafts and entertainment for anyone who wants to join in."

"I would like to put pen to paper and praise the staff of Harton Grange for the care my mother received. It was at first a great step to look for the extra care mother needed at her time of life but the staff at Harton Grange have taken all those worries away by their professional and very caring help they give to residents and family and friends. Many thanks to all."

"I have been coming to Harton Grange for 3yrs to see my auntie. I have been around a lot of homes and can honestly say in my opinion, is a very good home, staff are friendly and caring. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they treat residents with respect. We can speak to management and they are always helpful and always offer refreshments to us when we go into Harton Grange. I can go home at night and relax knowing my auntie is well looked after."

"I have nothing but praise for this care home which my aunt has now been in for several years. The manager and all her team provide a very high level of care to the residents and are constantly trying to improve the lives of the residents. There is a wide range of activities and events organised including music, outings, film shows and crafts for residents wishing to join in, and families are welcomed to visit at any time."

"Very impressed with the level of care enjoyed by my mother in law. The staff always friendly and approachable, respond to any queries imminently or find a member of staff who does know the answer. The range of activities outside the home and inside, plus they are always looking for new things to engage the residents, currently having hens on site for the residents to interact with, in the past they have invited miniature ponies in, proving popular with one resident recounting his experience looking after a pit pony, just one example of getting residents talking and sharing experiences. Overall trying and succeeding to provide a homely atmosphere, not a home institution experience."
