The Harry is a newly renovated and redesigned Care Home situated in the seaside village near Bideford, North Devon called Westward Ho! Our home has all of the state-of-the-art facilities such as the latest bathing equipment. The majority of the bedrooms, and the raised outdoor terrace, enjoy the most outstanding sea views.
Matched with dedicated and caring staff that are fully trained, we believe that you have now found the right home that you would be pleased to stay in.
Our rooms are decorated and furnished to a high standard, including flat screen televisions. You are free to bring in your own possessions to make your room more comfortable and for more of a home from home environment.
We have two formal dining areas, or you can dine in your room. Your choice. Our chefs specialise in the creation of varied meals using fresh produce, with a ‘made at home’ taste. Morning coffee, pre-luncheon sherry and afternoon teas are served on a daily basis. Dietary requirements and requests are welcome.
Facilities include a hair and beauty salon, visitors reception lounge, two further lounges, a library and ensuites for all bedrooms. Our home has the latest showers, baths, lifts, and hoists. All provided for your convenience and to aid with your care.
Stimulating activities are organised on both a weekly and daily basis and at all times being respectful of your wishes and your privacy. There are a variety of singers, musicians and entertainers visiting the home. Weather permitting you are always welcome on the outside terrace.
You are our priority. You decide whether to make The Harry either your permanent home, or for a short period of convalescence, or just to have a break from your own home. You are involved on day one, and will be given all the care, reassurance and information required for your own wellbeing and quality of life.
Prior to your arrival you will be assessed and given the appropriate care plan to meet your needs and support your wellbeing and health. The care provided is designed to build your own strengths and wishes, and constantly seeks to improve your quality of life. We will meet all of your needs including your dietary requirements, your personal wishes and your beliefs.
A care plan is formed on arrival along with an induction and introduction to the home. Residents and their family or representatives are invited to participate in developing care plans and attending any reviews held. Residents and their representative may see care plans at all reasonable times in arrangement with the manager.
Once developed, the Care Plan will be reviewed regularly to ensure that it is meeting the resident’s needs. Family and relatives will be encouraged to participate in residents’ daily routine, as far as is practicable. There are frequent ‘Friends and Family’ meetings in which you are invited to relay your thoughts and, if any, complaints.
Our home is state of the art with its environment, its facilities, its fire and call bell system, and its equipment. Your safety is in hand at The Harry. All of our staff are trained and have an on going update in place. You will be respected, cared for and catered for in a clean and up to date home.
