What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Harrier Lodge care home.

The people working there are so welcoming and the place is spotless and very well presented… nice lighting, nice decor, nice furniture in the rooms for residents... not at all dull like other homes I have been to. As soon as you enter, you know the residents are the most important people in the building.
