My mother has been a resident at Carter House for nearly 2 years. We are very happy with all aspects of her Care. The staff are all friendly, helpful and seem to genuinely care about the residents. The carers, admin team, senior staff and managementwork well together, and are very approachable,...
Mum's room and all the communal areas are kept clean and are comfortable. The meals are cooked onsite, to a high standard. Mum especially enjoys the home-made cakes and desserts! Meals are served by a dedicated front of house team. There is a varied and innovative programme of Activities, adapted for the seasons from enjoying garden time to arts and crafts to singing and exercise. The local GP visits weekly and takes care of Mum's health, consulting myself and the staff to manage her health issues. The staff treat the residents with such kindness and empathy, it is humbling to watch.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for Carter House Care Home. We are delighted to hear how happy you are with all aspects of our care home. It is our pleasure to care for your mother as part of our family here at Carter House.
Carrying on from last review we are still very pleased with the help mum receives. Management through the services onwards, always kindness served with a smile.

The team at Carter House provided my father with exceptional care. During his stay, he became healthier, stronger, and more engaged than I've seen in years. The staff are professional, kind, and genuinely attentive to each resident's needs. While he was happy at the home, they supported his move back home seamlessly. I highly recommend Carter House.
Kind regards,
Sadly my dad had dementia and doesn't always recognise me but each time I visit the care team are always friendly and courteous. They pop in to see dad and make sure he has all he needs. It means that I am certain that he is well cared for.

Carter House provides a warm and caring home for my brother who suffers from dementia. The activities organiser has been key to creating a much more active , engaged, environment for residents. A great asset. One staff member in particular is helpful and efficient at handing administration/welfare matters. Carers should be encouraged likewise to engage more closely. Staff shortages are sometimes a problem and clothes go missing!
Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind words about our team and activities organiser - we're so glad to hear your brother feels supported and engaged here.We appreciate your feedback on staff engagement and the issue of missing clothing. We're actively working to address these areas and improve consistency.Thank you again for your support and honesty.

Carter House is such a well-run care home. I am confident our mum is happy, well looked after and in safe hands. The staff here are truly amazing and work so hard. The staff interaction with the residents is truly amazing, and as a visiting family member I am always given such a warm welcome. There is always so much for the residents to do thanks to the activity co-ordinators, who ensure that all residents are included in the various activities. Unlike many other care homes where staff turnover is constant, here at Carter House they have a steady group of staff. Thank you to everyone for making us, as a family, feel confidence in her care.

Thankfully, after several weeks, things changed dramatically for the better.
All the staff are always pleasant, polite and caring. It is a wonderful atmosphere to walk into.
Staff not being available some weekends to answer the call bell for entry. Also, sometimes there was no-one at weekends to take a phone call from the office in the morning, when I tried to phone around 9.30am.
Thankfully this problem has now been resolved.
I have nothing but praise of all the staff, whatever their role.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear that your experience has improved and that you feel supported by our caring team. We appreciate your understanding as we worked to address the earlier concerns and are pleased to know they have been resolved. Your kind words mean a great deal to everyone at the home-thank you!

There are not enough words for me to use in order the praise the care my relative received from Carter House. Every single person from the cleaners to the customer services manager afforded him respect, empathy and kindness. It would be wrong for me to single out anyone because everyone was a credit to the care home. I will remain forever grateful to each one of you. You made a very lost gentleman (because of dementia) feel he was home and he quickly settled in because of your patience.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly touched by your kind words and are honored to have been able to support your relative with care, respect, and kindness. It means so much to hear that he felt at home with us and was able to settle in comfortably. Your gratitude is deeply appreciated by everyone at Carter House-thank you.

I would like to thank the great staff team at Carter House for the lovely summer fair/party they held last Sunday. The staff pulled out all the stops and every resident had a smile on their face. My mum thoroughly enjoyed herself. The weather was great, the food delicious and the music from the weekly musician was fantastic. Thank you everyone.
Thank you very much for your comments. I will agree with you. It was an enjoyable day. For the residents and families but also all the staff. And of course, we were super lucky with the weather. I will pass your comments to all the staff who participated in all the preparations. Thank you for coming and thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards.

From the moment my sister moved into Carter House in April 2024 we have been very happy with the way she has been cared for. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them day and night. They keep us well informed of everything she does and although she does not yet participate in a lot of the activities, I am sure as time goes on she will.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will share them with our staff on your behalf. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that all our residents feel like family, rather than just residents of a care home. Thank you again

Mum moved into Carter House in January and is happy and well cared for. It was a relief to find a home where I felt she was in good hands with the caring staff. Everyone at Carter House is always helpful, and friendly and updates me when I visit on how Mum is doing. She celebrated her 100th...
The whole team makes sure she is included in activities if she wants to participate. I did a lot of research to find a care home that was the right fit for Mum and that I could trust to take care of her. I am particularly impressed with Carter House and the head nurse who has helped Mum since her move, suggesting a different bed and pressure mattress given her falls in her previous home. The food is nutritious and Mum loves the coffee.
I'm delighted to hear that your Mum has settled in so well at Carter House and that she's happy and cared for. It's heartwarming to know that the team goes above and beyond to ensure your Mum feels included and enjoys special occasions like her 100th birthday celebration. The attention to detail,...

Carter House Care Home is a place I would tell anyone about. The staff are very friendly and caring, always close to hand in case needed. The home is all clean and tidy. My mother was in Carter House as a respite user and she loved it and chose it as the place she wanted to stay.

Things seem to be picking up a bit now but over the past year and a half my father has been in there so many changes of staff etc. You really need to steady the ship as they say, but yes, I can see a bit more active stuff going on and also make sure to keep loved ones updated. Okay, thank you.

Thank you very much, Kirk, for your review. I will pass your comments on to our staff.Carter House enjoys a lot of sunshine during the day. It does occasionally mean that the lounge rooms do get quite warm.
For safety reasons, we are not able to open the windows wider than the health and safety regulations will allow.
We have installed A/C coolers in each of the loungers and have a few industrial fans.
Where possible, we offer to take our residents to the garden during the day.
I will pass your comment on to our manager to see if there is anything more we can do.
