Meet The Manager
Leanne Morgan is Manager at Harbour View Care Home.
What makes the resident experience at Harbour View so special? We believe it’s our real sense of ‘family’ that has kindness, friendliness and respect right at its heart.
Our nursing care team looks after people with long-term medical conditions or physical disabilities, supports those living with early onset dementia and provides short respite stays to give home carers a well earned break. In every case we’re here to provide all the care each person’s own family could wish for. Harbour View overlooks the sea within easy reach of local shops and other amenities. All areas of our home are fresh and cheerful with a choice of lively or quiet communal spaces where residents can relax with each other or welcome family and friends.

| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
Another way we can help our residents to feel at home is for them to do familiar things. So our dedicated Activities Leaders gently encourage residents to carry on doing things they enjoy. If someone had a hobby or pastime they did before they arrived, we’ll encourage them to continue it with us. Or perhaps they may like to learn something new. The important thing is that we treat every resident as an individual. If they enjoy sharing time with others, either in our home or on an organised trip out, they’re most welcome. Or, if they prefer quiet time alone, we’ll respect that too. At Harbour View we run a busy activities programme so residents are never without something to do, including one-to-one activity sessions, daily trips into the town, visiting entertainers, and church services. Our home is a short drive away from Whitehaven town centre, which makes for a great day trip out for residents and their loved ones. |
