Over all time Scarlet House has 169 reviews.
The first thing that struck me when I began to live in this home was the friendly nature of all the staff. That has continued throughout my stay. Nothing is too much trouble. From the manager to the latest recruit, their sole aim is to please the client. It was not my choice to be a full-time resident before, circumstances changed that decision and this was definitely the right one.
Scarlet House is a lovely clean care home, bright and airy. The coffee hub is a great asset in getting residents gathering and chatting with visitors. This area nearly always has a great vibe. On the odd occasion it's empty, guess there's been other activities on as there are quite a lot of these. Rooms are comfortable and adequate Especially with so many places to go. There's a cinema with a bar, quiet rooms, lounges, a garden and clean dining rooms. Overall a great place.
My mother suddenly lost her sight in June 2024 and was admitted into Scarlet House urgently. Her care has been mostly neglectful until my brother and I contacted the CEO and adult social care having complained to manager, deputy manager and care team, with none or little change. It was only after my mother fell in her bathroom and broke both hips and was hospitalised that things improved and a safe guarding inspection was carried out. I am much happier with her care now but it has been a long fight to improve it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for Scarlet House and sharing your experience. I would like to take this opportunity to deeply apologise for the distressing situation you and your mother have gone through. We truly regret that your mother's care did not meet the high standards we...
Excellent care, nothing is too much trouble, staff are always friendly and helpful. Would recommend Scarlet House highly.
There is a well orgainsed, proactive vibe in all operational areas of the home and staff strive to meet high standards in the running of the home.
I have every confidence in the safely at the residents at the home.
I cannot fault the care and attention the team pay to Mum. The home helps keep her independence , which is very important to us all.
A very warm and lovely place for Dad to live in and for us to visit him, all the staff are so very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They are all so kind and thoughtful.
My mum has been living in the home since March 2024, she has adapted well and she is content and relaxed. Also she has had less medical problems since she has been at the home. We have had a rough year but the staff have supported us as well as taking good care of our mum. The home was hit with a D&V virus in November and quickly got their system in place to deal with it and with the nursing and care the residences received prevented a lot of them going to hospital. We have enjoyed the events through the year and feel part of the home.
My mum seems to have settled into Scarlet House as well as can be expected.
Very good experience. Care staff are nice to me, I take part in all activities. I am happy to live at Scarlet House.
Scarlet House has a nice atmosphere, very welcoming. Staff are always pleasant and keep me informed of changed or concerns with dad. Lots of effort made with activities and all residents being included when they want too. Dad has taken a while to settle in but he has enjoyed the Christmas period here and is happier.
We first encountered Scarlet House for a respite stay for my husband in 2024. However after a lengthy hospital stay it was not possible to continue to be cared for at home. He was admitted to Scarlet House. This has proved a successful move, he is monitored and cared for and with his developing dementia is treated with dignity and patience.
Very happy with my husbands care. He is very settled and happy.
The activities schedule is really good to and residents are encouraged to take part.
I would recommend Scarlet House to anyone who is looking for care for an elderly relative.
All the staff go above and beyond to aid and comfort residents when they are at their most vulnerable. The staff are sometimes pushed to their limits time wise but always helpful
We as a family feel extremely pleased that were able to get my daughter into Scarlet House. We're very pleased with the staff and care she is getting. I find the home to be warm and friendly and I complement and thank all the staff.
Our step-father was only with Scarlet House for a very short time at end of life, but we were very impressed with the care and attention that he received. Thank you all.
My aunt is staying at Scarlet House and I am so pleased with everything there. From the moment you walk in from the receptionist to the entertainment on a daily basis. All the staff are so kind and professional. The home manager is always available for a chat if needed.
This is our third month at Scarlet House and I'm very impressed with both the quality of care and the friendliness of all staff.

Meet the Team (1)

Becoming a Home Manager at Scarlet House has been the highlight of my career so far. Before this, I was working as a Team Leader. I really wanted an opportunity to progress in my career, and that’s something Care UK has offered.
As Home Manager, it’s important to be caring, compassionate and have a good eye for detail. You also need to have good interpersonal skills and be diligent, hardworking and committed to the home.
I love seeing the residents enjoying activities in the home – it's my favourite part of my working day. I’m proud to work with a fantastic team that makes a difference in residents’ day-to-day lives.
Outside of work, I enjoy family life, and my other interests include music and cars.
