Review from Julie J (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My dad, Frank, stayed at Carr Gate Nursing home in the final weeks of life, after transferring here from the hospice whilst on palliative care. Although I was nervous of this move, I had no need to be. The staff were truly amazing. Everyone was so good to dad, giving him fantastic care & managing his needs in the most dignified and respectful way. The staff were not only fantastic with dad, they were also truly amazing with me too. I struggled massively with losing dad, I stayed over with him some nights, as end of life approached & spent a lot of time at the nursing home. They were so kind to me & incredibly caring & nurturing. Dad was happy here, the staff were incredible. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did at one of the most difficult times.

Review from D W (Son of Resident) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father John (Jack) recently passed away there. Cargate could not have been a more fitting place for him to spend his last few months.

Caring, attentive and dignified is an understatement. They went over and above to make Dad's final days amazing as well as looking after the family.

Interaction and communication always was at the highest level.

I'd mention the staff involved but the list is long and glorious.

Thank you all xx

Reply from Kimberley Howroyd, Home Administrator at Carr Gate Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure taking care of Jack and meeting his wonderful family. Jack will be missed dearly.

Review from Elaine H (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Wonderful home could maybe do with more staff but the staff who are there are brilliant very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Mum is very happy there and is well looked after. Plenty of activities for those who want to join in, and any concerns are dealt with, with care and compassion, staff always keep us relatives up to date with what’s going on. We couldn’t be happier with Mum's progress since arriving at the home.

Review from Alan W (Brother of Resident) published on 2 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

On 06.02.2023, my brother pressed the button to get the attention of the staff because he wanted to do a number two. My brother is bed bound so he can't get to the toilet, it was 45 minutes before anybody came. When a person came, my brother told them he want to do a number two, this person went off to tell someone else and it was 20 minutes before someone came to him. To me, this is not good enough but I do appreciate that the staff are very busy. Also, my brother is on oxygen, what if there had been something wrong with the oxygen?

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Carr Gate Care Home

We are very sorry your brother had this experience. This is not the experience we would expect our residents to have and this has been addressed with the team on duty and the wider team to ensure this does not happen again.

The resident is being looked after very well, both for his nursing care needs and for his care home needs. The staff are friendly, always attentive to his needs and inform me of any issues that may arise. The rooms are clean and tidy and the care home is to a good standard.

Review from Louise T (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum was fast-tracked to Carr Gate from hospital after a massive stroke. She spent seven weeks there being very well looked after by all staff from cleaners to head nurse. I even had a meeting with the head chef, as he wanted to make sure he was doing all he could too! Any issues were quickly resolved, anything that we needed for Mum was there within five minutes! Mum was unable to speak, but she still managed to get across what she needed and staff always on hand to help. The only thing thing I think could be improved, is changing carpets to hard flooring for ease of cleaning. We'd like to thank all the staff for their hard work, during a very stressful time for us.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Carr Gate Care Home

Thank you for your generous feedback. Our staff team are pleased they have been able to support you and your loved one to such a high standard. Your feedback around the type of flooring has been listened to and we do change flooring where this is required for people's needs, however, some people...

Overall Experience
Mum came here for a short stay while care providers were put in place after six weeks in hospital.
Every single person we met in Carr Gate Care Home showed no end of their support, kindness and caring ways. Nothing was too much for them and didn't have to ask twice for anything.

Huge thanks and gratification to every single member of the team there. Keep doing what you do.

Review from Josie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Super management team at Carr Gate with highly experienced and qualified nursing team who have an excellent understanding of my mum's nursing needs. The care staff are considerate, cheerful and most importantly kind - which is the most important attribute of all. As with all care homes, it would be wonderful if funding would allow for carers to spend an hour or two sitting and chatting with residents in their rooms every day, but this is just not possible under the UK’s health and social care system. Mum is happy at Carr Gate and has told me numerous times that she never wants to leave. I have no hesitation in commending the entire team.

Can only comment on limited visiting due to Covid 19. We have been happy with the service received to date. Mum is settled and happy in the care at Carr Gate. Mum expresses concern at lack of staff on weekends compared to weekdays.

Thank you for your feedback, and we are delighted to hear that your Mother has settled into Carr Gate well. I would like to offer my assurances that the staffing numbers deployed at the weekend match those of during the week, as we recognise that our Resident’s needs are the same, whatever day of...

Extremely helpful staff, kind and those I have met were dedicated to their profession which I found really reassuring.

They were quick to answer any questions from me about details regards care and facilities, and anything I was not sure about. Great! Thank you all.
