About Harwood House
Harwood House is a nursing home in Maidenhead. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living, and we take respite bookings, whether to give a family carer a break or to support somebody recovering after a spell in hospital. Having nurses on site means health that changes from one day to the next can be managed here rather than through repeated journeys to hospital. Alongside that, we work at keeping ordinary life going: people choose how their day runs, keep their own belongings around them, eat what they actually want and see their families whenever they like. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We would rather put that in front of you than leave you to discover it. We know which areas were raised, we have work under way, and we will go through the detail with any family considering us or already trusting us with a relative. Anybody weighing up this kind of decision deserves straight answers. What we will always do is tell you when something has gone wrong and what we are doing about it, and raise it early when a relative's health is changing rather than presenting you with a decision already taken. If you are looking at nursing or respite care in Maidenhead, please come and see the home and ask us whatever you want to ask.
