Review from Marguerite P (Wife of Resident) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly my husband reached a stage of dementia when I had to admit defeat. I simply could not find a home that would take him, given the behaviour his dementia caused. In the end I had to contact Social Services, and this was the only place available. Now, I have to admit that if I had gone to inspect
it, I would not have chosen it. It's an old house converted, and consequently a bit of a maize. Rooms are functional and practical rather than large or elegant, and it doesn't look much. BUT staff and management are fabulous, and could not have been kinder, and had so much patience with him. I was supported too. This is so much more important than any other consideration, and it is for this reason that I have rated the home very highly. There was also a secure courtyard where we sat together in the sun whenever weather permitted. He was, we knew, at the end of his life, and when he passed the staff and management were so kind to me. Lovely calm atmosphere.

My aunt has settled very well here and tells me the staff are 'lovely' and 'kind'.
Whenever I visit she seems happy.
I observe the staff treating the residents with kindness, care + dignity.
The food is served up nicely and the dining experience is calm and relaxing when I have visited.

I have found the staff and management very helpful, understanding, supportive and professional, not only to me but to mum. She has been taken care of very well and is well-liked by all the staff and nurses. I have no need to worry about her care here, as the staff, nurses and management have kept me
well informed as to her progress.

Review from Chris K (Brother of Resident) published on 9 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother has recently become a resident at Charlton House, Mannamead, Plymouth. To ensure my brother receives the best possible care, I have been keen to communicate with staff of Charlton House. Clearly, staff are actively involved with all residents continuously. Having had an opportunity to speak
with a range of staff within the Charlton House team; a new recruit, carers, seniors, team leaders, duty managers, care manager and general manager, to date I have received from the team throughout our communications a professional, proactive and empathetic approach regarding my brother. During communications in person or by telephone relating to my brother, it has become apparent some staff positively shine with enthusiasm and friendliness whilst maintaining professionalism. However, I am sure all staff at Charlton House contribute with various strengths for the benefit of residents. I aim to update my review at later date.
Reply from Michelle Butt, Manager at Charlton House

Thank you sincerely for providing a delightful review; it truly carries significant value for all of us. The calibre of our team is extraordinary, as they consistently go the extra mile in caring for the residents.

How do you choose a care home for your nearest and dearest? I guess we all look for something different, to focus on the needs of our loved ones. We were lucky to find Charlton House Care Home, not just a care home but an extended family who welcomed Mum and us into the fold. For nearly three years,
Mum has been cared for by a very caring and highly trained, dedicated team, giving Mum the best of personal care, activities and, of course, delicious meals. Mum passed away last week at Charlton House, in a most peaceful, calm and dignified way, we will never forget those of you who were there for us during the last few days and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. So if you have that difficult decision to make, Charlton House could be the place you are looking for, remember not just a professional team, they are a family filled with love.

The staff at Charlton House Care Home have always been welcoming and flexible in their approach, taking into account my needs as a relative who lives some considerable distance away from the home. I have observed good interaction between the staff and residents and a good level of care and compassion
demonstrated in this setting.

Review from A B (Niece of Resident) published on 15 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My aunt was in short-term respite care for ten weeks. The staff were so caring and kind and went to great lengths to find things she would enjoy eating. She was always clean when I visited her a number of times each week. She was unwell with chest infections and the team were in frequent and proactive
contact with her GP ensuring that she had timely treatment. If there was a problem they called one of us to update us within an hour of any action taken. They were always willing to stop and discuss concerns.
Most residents living in the care home have varying degrees of dementia and it is therefore a difficult balance between allowing the freedom to wander and giving each person their personal space. We did have a problem with some lost items of clothing and her teeth went missing. If there was one thing that the care home improve on it would be having a system in place to reduce the risk is missing items and searching for them when they do go missing because it is frustrating.

I would recommend Charlton House Care Home. The staff treated my dad like one of their own relatives and looked after him well. The staff remembered that it’s not the patient's fault that they act like they do. It feels like the residents are kept very safe as there are door codes between floors/areas.
The food always looked good. I would say staff go above and beyond what is expected.

My husband arrived in September and died in February.

I cannot fault my dad's care at Charlton House. He had dementia and was there for 5 months. Many staff went over and above to ensure my dad and my family were treated in the best way possible. The member of staff in charge of activities took the time to get to know my dad and was so kind and encouraging,
treating him just as he deserved. A senior member of staff was so gentle with Dad and very good at communicating information to my family. She genuinely cared about his well-being and our feelings too. The member of staff who was usually on the night shift and we only met her a few days before he passed away. I literally cannot thank her enough for her care and compassion at a very difficult time. She looked after my mum whilst she stayed by my dad's side and could not have done any more to support our family in his final days. This home is genuinely streets ahead of another home we encountered and deserves recognition.

My grandad has been at this care home for three years and has recently passed. While he was here the staff were brilliant with him, made him feel comfortable and settled, less anxious and just safe, staff are lovely and generally do care about the residents, I felt comfortable and confident that he
was receiving the care he needed! Thank you to all the staff at Charlton House for looking after my grandad! I appreciate you all so much, he loved each and everyone of you!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.814)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.814) out of 10 for Charlton House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.319 for Charlton House is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.319
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.495 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Charlton House is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.795
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
