My mother has been at East Carleton care home for 18 months. The manager, carers and back up staff have been amazing in helping mum settle in. They have taken the time to get to know her and nothing seems like too much trouble. I am happy that she received the highest level of care and I have no hesitation in recommending the care home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this lovely review. It means a great deal to know your mum has settled in so well and that our team's care and attention have made such a difference to her, and to you. Thank you again for trusting us with your mum's care

We're so pleased to hear that your father is well cared for, and that you find the home welcoming, clean and well presented.

The staff are lovely, you can tell that they genuinely care for all those living at Carleton House. They are friendly, fun and also make family and friends feel apart of the Carleton House family. They show patience, kindness and person centred care on every interaction.
My Grandads overall health and presentation has improved greatly since arriving at Carleton. He is eating and drinking better, his mobility has improved and most of all his speech and interaction with others is incredible.
I must give Adele (the manager) a huge thank you. She not only has a home and staff to be proud of, but she has supported our family through this transition with respect and care. I will be forever grateful to all at Carleton House for the amazing care they give my Grandad. Thank you

Thank you so much for this wonderful review!We're delighted to hear that your grandad has settled so well, and that the warmth of Carleton House came through right from that very first phone call. Hearing that his health, mobility, eating and drinking, and especially his speech and interaction have all improved so much is exactly the kind of difference we hope to make - it's lovely to know the change has been so noticeable.
Your kind words about our staff and home manager, Adele, mean a great deal. They work hard to make sure every resident, and their family and friends too, feel like part of the Carleton House family, so to hear that come across so clearly is truly appreciated.
Thank you for trusting us with your grandad, and for taking the time to share your experience. It's a privilege to care for him, and we're grateful to have your family as part of ours.

The staff at Carleton House are lovely and so friendly. They make a great team and really take care of my mum. Individually they all relate and understand her because they've taken the time and got to really know her well. I always know she's in good hands and they will contact me immediately if something is needed. I also enjoy my relationship with all the staff at Carleton House and I think they've got to know me too. That is important for communication about my mums needs.
Thank you for such a lovely review. Your mum is a pleasure to look after, and it means a lot to know she feels so well cared for, and that you feel that trust with us too. Knowing both our residents and their families properly is what makes the difference. Thank you again for the kind words.

I am my wife's sole carer as she suffers with dementia. In mid January I was admitted to hospital as an emergency patient and my wife needed immediate full time care. The home was able to offer immediate accommodation and she remained there until I was fully recovered and able to take over her care. Throughout her time at the home she was well looked after by everyone and I had no worries about her welfare or safety.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review of the home and your experience. We're truly glad we could be there for you both at such a worrying and unexpected time. We wish you both all the very best.

The manager and team of carers, caterers, cleaners etc have helped my mother have an enjoyable time. They have all made extra time to converse with Mum, taken extra time too with us. We have always felt welcome at all of our visits. We have also been impressed with the activities set up for Mum and the other residents. The carers have always been professional and caring. We have no hesitation in recommending the care home.

My 99 year old Mum has been at Carleton House for the last two years and has received a high level of compassionate and attentive care. The carers are wonderful, as are the hard working support team who take care of the kitchen, cleaning and maintenance. Adele and her staff have been incredibly supportive of both Mum and myself and have responded thoughtfully to Mum's various health problems. The care home is relatively small which means there is a real family and homely atmosphere. I have got to know a lot of the staff and feel confident that they have Mum's best interests at heart when I can't be with her. Adele always listens with patience and understanding if any minor issues crop up and always responds quickly and efficiently to put things right and offer reassurance. I am so glad I chose Carleton House for Mum, the house itself may not be the most modern but the quality and dedication of the staff are exemplary which, for us, is of far more importance. Thank you!
Both my parents have been resident at Carlton House, although mum has now been able to move into housing with care, so I have plenty of experience over the past few years. Dad is currently there and has been looked after by Adele and her wonderful team since late 2019. I can honestly say that the...
Both my parents have been resident at Carlton House, although mum has now been able to move into housing with care, so I have plenty of experience over the past few years. Dad is currently there and has been looked after by Adele and her wonderful team since late 2019. I can honestly say that the staff are wonderful- not only the care staff but the cleaners and kitchen staff too. Dad can be a little difficult at times due to his illness and I know he's always treated with kindness and respect and is safe. The house and the gardens are lovely too. I really couldn't be happier to know he's being cared for there.
My brother and I can't thank Adele and her amazing team enough, It has been a difficult transition for my mother but the caring staff have been on hand to make this journey as easy as possible. We are so happy with how things are going, mums room is lovely and always kept clean and tidy. Mum is...

Good morning Dionne, thank you so much for your kind words around the care your mother receives and the home in general - this means a huge amount to us and is greatly appreciated. Best wishes from all the team at Carleton House.
Mum has been cared for at Carleton House Care Home for around 7 years. We feel she is well looked after by friendly and approachable staff. The house provides a warm and welcoming environment for residents and their visitors. Thank you!

When my mum needed care Carleton House was the obvious choice. The manager has been fantastic and visited Mum in the hospital to assess her and together with her team have made Mum feel loved and cared for. Nothing is too much trouble. I feel they have got to know her as an individual and personalised her care. The whole team from managers, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff and laundry staff just go above and beyond.
I know from visiting dozens of care homes in my job that grander-looking homes do not mean better care. It's the kindness of the staff that makes this place perfect.
Thank you so much for your kind words and brilliant review of Carleton House and its fantastic team. It's great to hear how happy you and your mother are with the home.
Best wishes from the director and all the team at Carleton House.
Carleton House is a very welcoming home set in beautiful surroundings. My mother has been a resident in Carleton House since July 2021. The staff provide excellent personal and social care. They are dedicated, caring and supportive of both my mother and our family. The care team keeps us updated...
Thank you all so much.

A lovely family run home, it was very hard for me to put my mum into a care home, but within a few days I was able to sleep again at night. Everyone at Carleton House is friendly, supporting not only your loved one, but the family as well. The home is like one large family, the food is amazing, always smells so good when I visit mum, and always very good quality. Always plenty of activities within the home, and lovely gardens to sit in, in the summer. Decoration and cleanliness within the home is of a very high standard, I would recommend Carleton House to anyone looking to get help with their loved one.
Good morning Merilyn,
Thank you for your brilliant feedback and ongoing support for Carleton House. It is great to hear how happy your are with the home.
Best wishes,
Ben and all the team at Carleton House
My parents moved to Carleton House in July 2023 when my dad was no longer able to look after my mum after living in their house for 65 years. They share a joint room in the home. The transition was difficult for them but the personal care and attention shown by the management and caring staff have...
As the home is small the carers are able to bond with the residents which gives the home a family feel and a personal touch.
There are lots of entertainments provided that the residents can join in with if they wish to help stimulate and pass the time. We have attended the summer BBQ, fireworks display and Christmas pantomime at the home which have been brilliantly organised.
I would like to thank all the staff for the care and attention they provide for my parents and wish them all the best for the future.
Good morning David, thank you for taking the time to review Carleton House. We are very grateful for your brilliant feedback and to hear how happy you are with the home and staff at Carleton House. Best wishes, the director and all the team.
My mother has been a resident at Carleton House since June 2023. She has been very well cared for and her diverse needs are invariably accommodated, carers have been kind and supportive to her and she loves the food. All the staff chat with her and recently she has told me ‘she feels happy’. There...
There is always a warm welcome for whoever visits.
Thank you.
Good morning Margaretha, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear how happy you are with Carleton House. Best wishes, the director and all the team.
From being very...
From being very withdrawn and resistant to care, I saw my lovely aunt truly blossom in their care. She loved chatting with the carers and staff and could again interact with people with confidence and happiness. She thrived under their patience and good humour too. She was always clean and dignified and given time, including quiet time when needed. They simply took time to talk to her and go the extra mile in remembering all her little ways. To see her face light up was so moving. I visited her weekly and treasure that time during her final months.
When my dear aunt reached the end of her life, the care she received from the staff was personal, gentle and exemplary. Thank you all so much.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It is so encouraging to hear just how happy your aunt and yourself were with Carleton House. Best wishes from Ben and all the team.
