Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Carleen Care Home these last eighteen months and is comfortable and content.
The home is warm and friendly. Staff are kind and helpful.
Carleen staff have done a great job at keeping residents - and themselves - safe during the pandemic.
I can recommend wholeheartedly.

Review from Helen P (Niece of Resident) published on 6 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been in Carleen for nearly four years. When she arrived her husband was with her, he was the reason for having to find accommodation due to care needs. From the moment they arrived they felt loved and cared for, nothing was too much trouble. There was so much going on, entertainment, activities
everyday which my aunt loves. The manager and her team have been fantastic through the pandemic, and have kept our loved ones very safe and well. We are able to Skype our aunt, have visits in a pod to keep them safe, and I have now had actual visits face to face with her with PPE and social distancing. Thank you to the manager and all the staff for making our aunt feel so loved and cared for, as she tells me each time we speak, we could not have found her a better place, she has no problems and everyone is so kind. We would recommend this home to everyone.

Review from Janet S (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

My mum went into Carleen after having a stroke in 2012 and was there until 2020, she was well looked after in those years and treated with excellent care, kindness and compassion. She loved to join in with most daily activities and enjoyed visits from various groups. It felt like family which is why
we chose Carleen and it proved to be the case.
In those years if there were any issues they were dealt with swiftly and I can honestly say they were few and far between.
The management and staff were outstanding, professional and kind.
I will always be so grateful for the loving care she received.

Review from Thomas S (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 24 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic staff and facilities. My sister in law was literally wasting away in hospital, had pneumonia twice, went from 41 kilos on admission to 33.6 kilos, she was curled up in bed in the fetal position. Got her into this care home and the change was unbelievable, been here two weeks, total change.
She sits down in the lounge with the family, so improved, we expected the worst but now we think she’s coming back to her old self. Can’t overstate how good it is in Carleen. Thanks to everyone involved.

My father is in Carleen care home. He is well looked after and meets his needs.
The activity lady is very friendly and keeps all of the residents occupied and I have been to a couple of the activities.
The food always looks very appetising.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I've visited friends in the Carleen care home for a number of years. I've never found anything I've been unhappy with. The staff are caring and kind. The rooms are clean and from what I've seen the food is good. The lady does a really good job in the lounge. There is some good entertainment for the
residents which I think is important.

Review from Rita and John L (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 2 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our sister-in-law was a resident of Carleen from May 2009 until July 2017. During this time she was well looked after, happy and content, joined in the activities provided and particularly enjoyed the art and craft afternoons.


The staff looking after my sister-in-law have been very capable, considerate

and friendly. We have made regular visits to Carleen but as we live in Yorkshire we were very dependant on the staff for our sister-in-law's daily care and keeping us properly informed, they have never let us down.

Excellent professionalism and care was shown to my father who was end of life. Sensitive and empathetic staff who were genuine and sincere. My dad died on the 26th June 2017 in Carleen. Their approach made this experience less traumatic.

Although I have only been here almost three weeks I have enjoyed my stay here. The accommodation is fine and there are lots of activities that occur daily. The food at times could have been warmer. The care I received is very good and I have been happy here.

I was admitted to Carleen nursing home for a short stay following a fall at home fracturing her hip, resulting a hospital admission. The purpose of my stay was at Carleen just to build confidence and improve my mobility. This I did with the excellent support of the staff. I can recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.852)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) out of 10 for Carleen is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.852 for Carleen is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.852
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Carleen is based on 11 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 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.
