All the staff including the manager I've interacted with are amazing. The care, patience, empathy and overall work they do is truly exceptional. My friend who has Alzheimer's has been there for just over 3 years is very well looked after and I'm really pleased she's in this care home. My huge thanks, respect and appreciation to all who work at Carrington care home, truly amazing folk
This care home provides amazing help, support, and service to my loved one there. The staff along with the manager are exceptional in the way they treat someone very important to me. They show the compassion, care, and affection needed in a care home. I want to thank all the staff working at Carrington Care Home. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure looking after your loved one. From management and the team at Carrington.
An excellent carer was organised for my elderly Mum. The whole process of selecting and confirming the carer placement was very smooth with lots of support before and during. The carer was very professional and made a significant difference to my mum’s mobility and demeanour. She was a lovely, warm and caring person who was a welcome addition to the household and worked hard to win our trust. We will use again without hesitation and highly recommend.
Mum had fabulous care in Caring House from start to finish until she passed away in September 2022, the staff were very lovely but professional at the same time, she had been there for approximately seven years, and never had any issues with the wonderful staff.
My mother has been here for over 2 years now. Friendly, caring staff. Good hygiene and food.
From the day my mum moved in for a respite placement the staff and management have been fantastic. They are friendly and helpful and the food and care are top quality. My mum has now been resident for 2 years and is very happy. The home has been well maintained and is beautifully decorated as promised. Top place and especially top staff.
I selected Carrington House for Dad after viewing many care-homes; it wasn't the poshest, but the staff were positive, cheerful. Happy staff make for good care!
When Dad went into hospital a carer stayed 2 hours beyond her shift ensuring Dad did not wake up alone and get frightened.
Dad was very poorly in last few weeks, a lot of affection and care was shown by staff helping a lot at a difficult time.Residents with memory problems, but otherwise mentally alert can at times be bored/frustrated; this is a problem for the majority if not all care homes. Some care homes have a lot of 1 to many activities, but often residents want more one to one time. There are residents who would like to do something but are not self-starters. More volunteers/buddies are needed in care homes in general.
Whenever I saw a resident who was particularly unwell, staff took extra special care of that person, with someone sitting with them for extended periods; very caring, well recommended.
But I don't worry about my parents, they are safe.
