CQC rated OUTSTANDING in July 2026.
Acorn House is a purpose-built residential care home in the community of Carrington, Nottingham, and specialises in dementia care. The spacious interiors and homely decorations complement the work of professional carers and create a calming, homely atmosphere.
Ensuite rooms and landscaped gardens delight residents and their families, and they also have an on-site cafe to enjoy. Health and wellbeing are a priority, and the Activities Coordinators work with residents and families to develop an exciting programme of activities and events tailored to personal interests.
Residents and staff go out into the community, and the community is invited into the home, to build positive relationships and enable social inclusion for residents. They also offer many intergenerational activities so residents can engage with all age groups, from toddlers to college students.
All care is delivered in a bespoke way, with passion, empathy, and enthusiasm at the centre of every decision. Carers understand the importance of person-centred care, and the residents' needs and preferences are placed at the centre of their care.
Acorn House provides choices at mealtimes for all residents and takes great pride in the dining experience. The kitchen team takes personal preferences and nutritional needs into account and works hard to offer a wide range of healthy, tasty options for residents.

I am so grateful for the care and compassion shown to my father, since he moved into Acorn House. The level of care he receives is incredible and the staff are so caring and understanding. They always keep us informed of his well-being and give me peace of mind when I can't visit.

Thank you for you lovely review Keith. We appreciate your kind words and for sharing your experience. I'm very pleased that your sister has settled so well.
I just wanted to say how amazing you all are. My Dad moved into Acorn House about a year and a half ago and you have worked so hard to make it feel like home, as you do for all of the residents. You are all so welcoming; from the reception, cleaning and catering staff to the carers and managers....
You are all winners to me! With love and appreciation.

Fantastic care at all times, so grateful to all of the staff. They are brilliant and go above and beyond for my Nan. I wouldn't want her to be in any other care home besides Acorn House. I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for their loved ones to stay. Thank you to the team.

I have found that the residential care of my parents has been exceptional and the care by the staff and management has beaten my expectations.

Mum is happy at Acorn House. She says the staff are very kind and friendly. She looks so much better and relaxed since she arrived 3 months ago. I wish they had more outings arranged for residents though.

The activities provided are excellent and a good way to keep people engaged, it would be good if there was more conversation throughout the day, but I appreciate this is difficult when staff are so busy.

Acorn House Care Home is a well-run care home with many good aspects to recommend it. The staff are caring and considerate towards the residents who benefit from a varied menu and entertaining activities as appropriate. However, the needs of residents with dementia and multiple complex needs would be better met by improved/higher staffing levels (i.e. at least one above the legal minimum at all times).
Thank you for taking the time to review our care home, we will pass on your kind comments to our staff team and we welcome all suggestions to enable us to provide the highest standard of care for our residents.
Amazing place, recommended my other family member, my mum and my auntie are both here. Excellent staff, good variety of activities and good food.

Welcome to Acorn House!
I have been working in the sector for the past 20 years following the death of my father in 2001. While he was receiving palliative care at home I have been looking after him. My passion was always in care and making a difference no matter how big or small it was. After spending 12 years in 24-hour nursing care, I decided to move to residential care.
I came to work for Acacia Care 7 years ago and I have held many positions within the company from Night Manager, Care Manager, Home Manager and Regional Support Manager to my now current role as General Manager. I feel very honoured and privileged to have been given this opportunity to manage Acorn House and I hope my work and the work of the team will make a difference in the lives of our residents and their families.
