Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit 3 friends in various care homes in the area and I have to say Carrickstone is by far the most superior. The first impression from the reception staff to the carers and nursing staff is a welcoming and helpful one. As a retired nurse I can not fault anything I have seen. Everyone is treated with
care respect and dignity. Residents are happy and look upon the place as home. Residents and family and friends are kept well informed as to treatments being given. Well done to all staff including cleaning and maintenance on a very well run establishment.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Carrickstone House Care Home since April 2025, she suffers from Alzheimer's and other health issues, home care plan was not adequate to look after my mother at her home address, family and mother agreed that mother needed 24 hour care in a care home. We visited 5 care homes in
the surrounding areas, Carrickstone was far better than anywhere else. Professionalism by all staff is unbeatable, great teamwork, happy staff and very respectful to residents and family and friends, peace of mind. Unfortunately the care home mini bus has not been on the road for many months which was godsend to help residents get out into the public , see different areas and get fresh air, the manager is taking this up with the Lloyd the CEO.On another issue the puddings were taken off the menu at meal times seemingly due to wastage, i informed care home that elderly residents some times need this as they may not be big main meal eaters , they have informed me that the pudding are now offered at a later stage in the day to see if residents are wanting them, but i'm still waiting to see or hear of this happen.Thank you.

Carrickstone is excellent for cleanliness, staff are helpful and food is basic but nutritious and plentiful, my weight has increased. Residents could be doing more communication with staff, but they are all so busy. Entertainment needs to be prompted.

Review from F C (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I consulted with my father and family members before I wrote this review, therefore it reflects his view and those of his family.


My father moved into the Eastfield Unit in Carrickstone Care Home earlier on this year and so far it has been a positive experience. His quality of life has greatly improved.

Doctors, dentists, opticians, chiropodists etc have all visited him, with resulting timely treatment and follow-up. The burden of frequent phone calls and visits (sometime including stressful long journeys) to other healthcare facilities has been greatly reduced.


In addition to this, and more importantly, are the interactions between my father and the staff at Carrickstone. He is treated with respect and as an individual. These staff members include those from all departments within the home (catering, housekeeping, carers, nursing, administration, maintenance and activities staff).


We have felt a sense of belonging and reassurance that my father is in good and caring hands.

All staff are friendly and welcoming, rooms are clean and tidy entertainment staff are very proactive my mum is very happy and cared for but we have just recently been asked to bring in snacks for her I strongly feel these should be provided by the care home along with more fresh fruit and juice throughout
the day , I do however take biscuits and chocolates , coffee up for her at every visit.
The turn over in the washing is slow I believe they have had issues with the washing machines, hopefully that has been resolved.

Review from Roseanne F (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 26 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was admitted to Carrickstone, Balloch unit, directly from hospital at the beginning of August.
Our family had no experience of care homes. The staff in the Balloch unit; management, doctor, nurses, carers and ancillary staff, did everything possible to make a difficult time, easier
for everyone.
From day one, my mother-in-law was treated with compassion and respect. She was made to feel loved and cared for by this fantastic group of people. She passed away peacefully and with dignity on the 8th of October. Staff members attended her funeral service.
It is impossible to explain just how grateful we are to this amazing group of people. Although it was for a relatively short time, we were members of what felt like a loving extended family.
Thank you all.

My father-in-law was in Carrickstone Care Home for a few months up until he passed away on 25th September 2023. From the manager to the nursing staff and carers we cannot fault his care. Very professional service, but also caring and personal to our father/father-in-law. He was in the Eastfield Unit
and it was always very clean and well maintained. The staff treated us like family and could joke with him, as he had a good sense of humour even when being grumpy. We were treated with such respect before and after his passing, with staff members coming to say their goodbyes. Thank you all at Carrickstone.

Mum is well looked after and has been in good spirits and good health lately.
Her room is clean and when visiting the team are caring and attentive.
Engagement and approvals are expedient and empathetic and I’m kept up to date with things going on in the care home regularly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We feel so lucky to have our mum cared for in the Eastfield Wing of Carrickstone House Care Home. A year ago we had never heard of this care home but my mum was admitted through the NHS offsite program as we were looking for permanent care and we decided to keep her here. Our mum is 93 with dementia
so we needed a home with a high level of care and we don't think we could have found better than here.
The nursing and care staff are unbelievably kind and patient with the residents. Even when they don't know we can hear or see them, their kindness and patience shine through.
We find their communication excellent and when things happen they call and tell you.
One thing of particular note is the cleanliness of the place. There is almost continuously a cleaning program place being undertaken with the cleaners and their trolleys roaming the corridors. They do an excellent job.
Thanks to all the staff who have given my mum such an outstanding level of care.

My mum has been a resident in Carrickstone Care Home for six months. She has been treated really well during that time. All carers and nurses are kind and considerate to my mum. They have taken the time to get to know my mum really well and are always able to answer any questions we ask.
As a regular
visitor, I am made to feel really welcome by all staff including, amongst others, office staff, activities staff, catering staff, cleaning staff, nurses, carers and also the management staff.
I found it really hard to take the decision to place my mum into a care home. However, it is of great consolation to me to know my mum is being treated with kindness.

Our mum moved from home into Carrickstone House Care Home’s Dullatur wing in October 2020. Her room is beautifully decorated and has a lovely outlook onto the inner courtyard with a patio door and we have enjoyed some sunny afternoon visits there with residents thoughtfully wearing sun hats. The team
in the Dullatur wing recognise social groups and supports my mum to connect with the ladies in whose company she is most comfortable. Mum has her hair professionally styled once a week and has her newspaper delivered daily - sometimes she even reads it! A chiropodist visits regularly and Mum often gets a manicure and her nails painted at the activity group. There is a private Facebook page with updates and pictures of activities and outings (where approval has been given) showing the joy and enthusiasm of both residents and caregivers. It is never easy when a family member’s condition causes admission to a care home to be necessary but our mum has settled well with the team who have a genuine affection for her.

I cannot emphasise the quality of care my dad received in the Balloch wing of Carrickstone House Care Home. The staff are professional caring and friendly.
Beginning with entering the home we as a family were cared for. Nothing was too much bother. All staff whether nursing, ancillary or auxiliary
cared. This was obvious by the cleanliness of the home to the relaxed demeanour of the other patients reflecting their sense of being looked after by exceptional people who loved their job.
Congratulations Carrickstone and many, many thanks.

Mum has been in Carrickstone Care Home, Dullatur Unit since September 2020. In the first year of the Covid outbreak, it was hard for everyone but we were able to see Mum through the window and with the help of the carers/nurses they were able to connect us to Mum on her phone and also video calls. We
have moved on now and we are able to move about the home more freely. She is able to get out and meet her friends and family. Mum is a very sociable person and is able to participate in many of the activities which I am also made very welcome at. From entering the home I am made so welcome by every member of staff. Mum is treated with great respect for her 94 years and is thriving on the excellent care. All the Covid jabs are given out and also a chiropodist, doctor, hairdresser, dentist and optician are regular visitors to the home.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.656) out of 10 for Carrickstone House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.681 for Carrickstone House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.681
  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 3.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Carrickstone House Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.375
  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.
