Carrington House

I am very satisfied with the care and support and the overall experience given by Carrington House.

Very pleased with the service at Carrington House. The staff are friendly, approachable and professional. Always feel welcome, problems are very rare but when they do arise they are dealt with quickly. Lovely care team who do a great job!

Carrington House, in Vandyke Road in Leighton Buzzard, is within walking distance of my home and when I have major surgery, this is where I go for recovery, It is a really lovely place to live in and those of us who live there have conversations with each other, walk around with each other and are absolutely looked after by a large team of very caring people, who bend over backwards to keep us happy. The chef will even make individual meals for us if we ask. I have stayed there twice now and will be back in August following hip surgery

Very clean and looked after.

I really can't rate this care home highly enough. The manager, David and his amazing staff have been like family to my mother. Whenever we visited it feels like we are visiting her home. The facilities and grounds are very welcoming, the residents always have something interesting to do, and the food always smelt very nice to me. Mum was very happy there, but the real value was in the love and attention given by the staff. My wife and I live abroad most of the year, so knowing that mum was really well looked after offered us total peace of mind. I would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful home for anyone looking for a place to stay for their relatives.

I am the sole sibling of my 80-year-old sister who has mixed dementia/Alzheimer's. Unfortunately I live a 2-hour drive away from Leighton Buzzard so finding a perfect care home was important. Carrington House is a truly excellent place, calm, well-managed, clean and inviting. Offers first-class care and accommodation - perfect for my sister.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Carrington House. The home, recently redecorated and refurnished, offers a safe and happy environment for my mum. The staff are caring, efficient, and have a great rapport with her. The admin staff ensure that there are plenty of activities for residents. The home is clean at all times, the residents are well-fed and we as visitors are warmly welcomed by all staff.

Lovely home, clean, staff are amazing, well run, people actively care. Mum has settled very well. Home from home.

Carrington House is a lovely care home. The staff look after the residents very well. It is clean, bright and very welcoming. Mum has been here for 2 years and most of the staff are the same. I know that mum is well looked after. The activities team make a lot of effort to keep the residents busy. A lot of time has been spent on making the garden calm and welcoming too.

My Mum has been in Carrington House for over a year now and her dementia has increased and with it, she can get very agitated. She tends to get very unsteady on her feet and she has to be watched constantly. The caring team deals with Mum brilliantly, they know the signs when she is changing and know what needs to be done to keep her safe. The carers are so nice and helpful and not only care fir Mum but my elderly Father who visits Mum and also me when I visit. I cannot fault this home and would recommend it to anyone looking for a caring home.

My dad is very well cared for at Carrington House, the staff and management team are super hard working, extremely patient, respectful and personal, they understood my Dad's personality very quickly. He has been in care there now for around 18 months with his diagnosis of mixed dementia and we are very comforted knowing he is in a safe, supportive and attentive environment. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Carrington House Care Home.

The staff works tirelessly to provide a varied program of in-house (daily) activities as well as external trips. Family and friends receive regular communications regarding the activities and events on offer. They are also given the opportunity to share views at Family and Friends meetings. Communication regarding concerns with the residents is good. I would have no hesitation in recommending CH. My mother is treated with kindness and more importantly dignity and respect. The staff are aware of individual needs and accommodate their care accordingly. As a family, we are most grateful for the dedication and compassion of the staff. I feel reassured my mother is being cared for in a safe and happy environment.

My mum only had a few months at Carrington House and it was all a bit of a rush, coming straight from hospital so obviously a bit worried as she had never been away from home before. But from day one couldn't fault the place; clean, Mum always looked lovely, nice bedroom, friendly staff and plenty for them to do. Not stuck in their rooms all day. I would recommend. I am am glad my mum was happy in her final days and they would always be on hand to answer any questions you had. A good experience for Mum.

I am very grateful to all the staff at Carrington House for their excellent care, their friendliness, their advice, listening to us and much compassion.

I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful home for my father.

An excellent care home. Management and staff are caring, attentive and responsive. My stepfather spent his final months here and nothing was too much trouble. I happily recommend this care home.

My father resided at Carrington House Care Home in Vandyke Road, Leighton Buzzard for almost four years until he recently passed away. During that time, he was well looked after. The staff are friendly, dedicated and hard-working and you can tell they work as a team and help each other out. They were so good with my dad, especially towards the end of his life. They were always respectful, compassionate, understanding and treated the residents with dignity at all times. The management were always approachable, open and accommodating. They have 60 residents and know all of them by name, their personalities, likes and dislikes etc. The care home also has a good social side for those residents who are able to participate in activities. I would certainly recommend Carrington House as one of the better care homes in Leighton Buzzard, if not the best!

I would recommend Carrington House Care Home to anyone who has to make the very difficult decision that their loved one needs to go into a care home. My mother was in Carrington for sixteen months until her death from advanced dementia. She was cared for with love, kindness and compassion. The genuine care of the staff was outstanding. For the last four weeks of my mother's life, we were able to visit 24 hours of the day as she was receiving 'end-of-life'. During that time, we spent many hours in the home and saw how well all patients were cared for.

The staff are extremely helpful and go above and beyond for residents ad family members. The care is absolutely outstanding, my uncle couldn't be happier.

Obviously, we've had Covid to contend with but I think they have done their best to accommodate visits.
