Review from Samantha T (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nan was in Carter House for around four months until July 2016.
She was given a place here after breaking her hip and spending 8 weeks in St Helier Hospital.
I cannot recommend Carter House enough. The staff and care are absolutely fantastic. They cared for my Nan so well. I visited every day
and saw the love and care with my own eyes. They would ring us as soon as any problems arose. She had been diagnosed with dementia and would sometimes have a bad day and lash out / try to hurt the staff, but they were so good with her, kept calm & were always completely honest with us about her care.
Even when my Nan was discharged after her 6 weeks stay, she came home and fell within an hour. Knowing it wasn’t safe at home alone, Carter House allowed her back into the home that same evening, even at their expense.
I’m so forever grateful for the care they gave my Nan. She loved her time there and made some lovely friends. I recommend Carter House for exceptional care for loved ones.

Review from Norma B (Sister of Resident) published on 16 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been on deck for two months and have had plenty of opportunities to watch how things are done. I have been impressed with the way staff manage difficult residents, staying patient and collected although I am sure the stress levels must have been high.
Even more amazing are the residents themselves
on Level 2, who look out for each other and show compassion and support by encouraging each other to participate in the activities and try and communicate with each other.


On activity days, the residents are keen to participate and nothing can beat song, dance (for some!) and music not to mention art or flower decoration. On the whole, the atmosphere is a happy one.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.612)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.612) out of 10 for Carter House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.762 for Carter House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.762
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Carter House Care Home is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
