Mum has been at Scarlet House for just over 3 years, she always seems content when I visit, her room is clean and fresh, the staff are friendly, and I’m kept up to date with any issues that arise. Mum couldn’t be in a better place, I sleep better knowing that she’s safe.

Really happy with how Dad has a home at Scarlet House. The staff are all so so lovely, every part of the team - from the front desk to the carers and nurses! They genuinely all take such an interest in Dad and his welfare. Thank you guys so much, the staff are truly lovely nurses who help put a smile on my face when dealing with some of Dad's health issues. The admin staff, you guys are brilliant too for all the 'Dad-min'. My dad's and all the other epic carers, keep up the great work. It really helps me and my brother rest easier knowing Dad has got some people there for him when we can't always be with him.

Scarlet House has a lovely environment because the staff really care about the people there and are very helpful to the visitors. Lots of good facilities and I’m told by my dad that the food is great, the menu seems to change daily also.

Dad is part of our family and we are glad you are all part of that family.

My father has always received excellent care at Scarlet House and is always spoken of by the staff with great affection. Over recent months, his level of function has gradually lessened as a consequence of his advancing dementia. In contrast, the level of care and the affection shown by the staff has undoubtedly increased.

He is part of our family, and we can't wait to celebrate his landmark birthday later on in the year!
Warmest regards,
Scarlet House Team
We had a lovely family party there with food provided - including a delicious Birthday Cake.
The staff are friendly and always seem to go beyond what would be expected as part of their job. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
They have made Mum feel comfortable and at home there.

It was an occasion worth celebrating for sure. We are here for him and all of her family.

Very pleased after visiting my father at Scarlet House. The team there did so much to make our few days there enjoyable and special. We could also see the care they took with my father and in making him comfortable. The Customer Relations Manager and Deputy Manager took time with us, listened and shared all they do it and how they do it. We left feeling that he is in the best place to offer the care he now needs and provide the best life experience possible. Our thanks to the entire team.
The person-centred care at Scarlet House is outstanding. The staff take the time to really get to know the residents and care for them as individuals. Scarlet House is a happy place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My mother is well-settled here, and her dementia care is good. I know she is safe and enjoys a good variety of activities and that she feels content and happy.

Overall care was really good. If there were any problems relating to care they were resolved really quickly. I was informed of any health issues as soon as possible. If there was one thing that could be changed for Mum, it was her room. She was told when she first moved in that when a room with a door to the garden was available, she would be offered this. But sadly this didn't happen.
We are delighted to hear you were really happy with the care provided at Scarlet House and that you were kept informed about your Mum’s care. In terms of our garden rooms, all requests are considered when a room becomes available, including the type of care required. Despite not being selected for garden access, thank you for rating our rooms 5-star. Mum still had a lovely room with a garden view.
We can't thank the staff at Scarlet House enough. The admin staff are truly lovely on arrival. The nursing staff where my father-in-law stayed were great with dealing with his needs, especially two staff members in particular. Thank you again.

Initially everything ok, but went downhill. Poor food. Since last manager left things seem to be improving. Food-wise it has improved with new chef, but still poor on his day off. Day staff are caring, but some issues with night staff.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback, it’s really important to us. We would like to reassure you that the homes new management team are devoted to ensuring residents receive the best care, lifestyle and dining experience. Behind the scenes they are doing extensive training with the chefs...

Our mother moved into Scarlet House earlier this month after a trial stay in October. Although the move was not easy, the staff at Scarlet House were welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful and supportive to all of us as a family, managing to balance being both friendly and professional. I feel confident that she is being well looked after while retaining her independence. She enjoys the meals, socialises and, when she feels ready, there is a wide range of activities available to her.
We really appreciated how genuine the care and attention were in our mother's last days. There are some very kind people working at Scarlet House! The rooms are very pleasant and clean, and the facilities are, in general, very good. Our mother was blind, so we are less able to comment on some of these as she wasn't able to use or benefit from them herself.

We will miss Mum, and our doors are always open for your families.
Warmest regards,

Our elderly friend was here for respite for four weeks, following a spell in hospital. The staff were kind, friendly and supportive. The food was good and facilities excellent. Our friend felt so much better after her time here. Special thanks for one staff member in particular for going above and beyond.
Good afternoon. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. At Scarlet House Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one. Your friend will always be welcome back, if she needs our help. Warmest regards, Scarlet House team.
They have helped immensely in the last couple of months through some difficult times. Help and advice are always on hand.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks the Care UK team
My mother receives attentive and expertly executed care and assistance on a day-to-day basis. The staff show a dedication rarely seen in other walks of life. Whenever I visit I am greeted with a smile and a warm welcome from all the staff. My mother is in the best possible hands as far as I am concerned and we have entrusted our mothers well being with people who show nothing but genuine care and attention. Facilities here are second to none but they would be irrelevant if it were not for the quality of the staff that run it.

The best care home I have ever seen, also I look forward to coming here, the staff are so friendly and kind and create a good atmosphere.

I would like more regular staff, in particular, I find a few of the agency staff less friendly. I have a continual problem with my sheet not staying in place overnight because the sheet is not fitted. I find the vegetables are often too hard for me to eat and being diabetic the desserts are often too sweet for me. However, some of the meals I find delicious, I would like more of the meals with gravy and puddings with custard. I do not like my door being left open at night when I wake up and discover it is open. On the whole, I enjoy my time at Scarlet House and many of the staff have been and are lovely and hard-working.
Thank you for your feedback Laurice, just to reassure you, we are working to have regular staff on the suites, we thank you for your patience. We are sorry to hear about the sheet, we will get you a fitted sheet to resolve that for you. We are currently recruiting for a new Head Chef and also...

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.
