Welcome to Harbour View Care Home

You’ll find Harbour View Care Home in a pleasant residential area overlooking the harbour, offering nursing care and respite care. We are close by to shops and public transport, making us easily accessible for visitors to pop-in for a chat.

Harbour View Care Home in Whitehaven is a short drive away from the town centre, which makes for a great day trip out for residents and their loved ones.

We have beautiful sea views from our lounge.

We believe just because someone moves into a care home, that doesn’t mean they should stop doing the things they love. That’s why we provide an ever-changing activities programme inspired by residents’ interests and needs. From visits from entertainers and trips out to church services and one-to-one activities, we offer a wide range activities to help residents live life to the full!

We are delighted to announce that the whole team at Harbour View Lodge Care Home are winners of the Stars of Social Care Awards 2024, for ‘The Above & Beyond Team’ category. These awards shine a light on the stars of social care, paying tribute to the workforce, who through dedication and a commitment to care, go above and beyond to support those who are most vulnerable. Stars of Social Care Awards said: “The staff constantly go above and beyond for their residents and for one another. Person centered care personified!”

Daily life at Harbour View Care Home is enhanced by a beautiful view of the stunning Cumbrian coastline; a beautiful place for everyone to enjoy! Many of the rooms overlook the sea and it is accessible for you and your loved ones.

We have an extremely dedicated team at Harbour View Care Home and they are passionate about what they do. Resident care plans reflect all that an individual would want and need for their care to be delivered in the way they choose, with independence and dignity as prime considerations. All care teams are dedicated to delivering the best of care to all residents and work closely with GP’s and other clinical professionals from the local area to ensure that residents are well cared for.
