Over all time Scarlet House has 169 reviews.
The support for the family was amazing and we cannot thank you enough.
Including a special evening for her, it was wonderful.
The staff and the level of care exceptional. My mother has been looked after extremely well. Thank you.
Every member of the staff there has been most helpful, friendly, warming and caring.
Whenever I call to visit her, the staff are always welcoming and caring.
I would like to extend my grateful thanks for everything they have done for my Aunt, and for being such a friendly, efficient and welcoming team.
It has not been an easy transition for her to make but every member of staff at Scarlet House made her - and us - feel welcome and reassured. Having visited a number of homes prior to choosing Scarlet House, the stand out features for me are the bright and cheerful environment, the range and frequency of activities for residents, the personal attention and care offered and the way in which relatives/friends are made to feel very comfortable as visitors and carers. The difference in my mother's condition within a month was remarkable and she began to be able to do things again that she had not been able to for some time before her hospital stay - exercising, going out to the cinema, improving her mobility and socialising.
My brother and I are very happy that our mother is a resident now in Scarlet House, following a period of respite care at the home after a long hospital stay. She is very settled in her room and so much less anxious than when she was trying to cope in her own home. The staff are most attentive and caring - nothing is too much trouble - and they go about their responsibilities with cheerfulness and professionalism. I am kept informed when my mother is unwell or just not her usual self. There is a genuine family feel about Scarlet House, making the home feel really like a "home".
As a family, we are extremely happy with Scarlet House. On entering the building there is always a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Excellent facilities for the residents and always something to occupy the residents on a daily basis. Staff are extremely helpful day to day. Regularly asked if, as relatives of the residents, there is any more that can be done or improve on with regards to the level of care. The answer is almost always no as we are kept well informed.
I have always found the staff very helpful and have been impressed with the level and standard of care given to my brother.
All of my family are so grateful for the caring way and kindness they give him.
It's like one big family to me. The staff are excellent, the activities are more than excellent, I should have come here years ago. I love being able to go out and the activities team support that massively, there is no shortages of visitors.
So very pleased for the care and love my Dad was given!
Thank you for your care for papa.
They go out of their way to serve both residents and guests with utmost in concern and care. So accommodating, kind and we are so grateful for this "above and beyond" care given to our father. Thank you!
Couldn't have asked for better care for my dad! Staff were extremely gracious to any family at all times!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
My mum arrived at Scarlet House in early February from hospital, since she arrived the whole experience for her has been just what she needed. The care from nurses, carers, management has been excellent, nothing is too much trouble and everyone seems happy and caring. Thank you Scarlet House.
You really could not ask for better. My husband has been at Scarlet House since July 2018. The care is wonderful. That is coming from a retired nurse.
My stay was very agreeable and care given to my needs. Lovely food and sharing together was good.
We chose Scarlet House for my father who had Alzheimer's, the home is modern and has a lovely coffee shop and some lovely staff although we felt that care and activities were definitely focused on the mentally more able residents downstairs. Staff moved between the normal residential care and upstairs into the Dementia 'wing' and this meant that care was not consistent in its approach. Unfortunately, the home decided they could not cope with my father's behaviour and asked us to remove him (very stressful with no prior warning). Thankfully this worked out perfectly, moving to a different charity run local specialist dementia only home where his problem behaviours vanished overnight.
Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on Scarlet House. We are delighted to read your positive comments about the staff and safety, and the food and facilities we offer. There are occasions where staff have to work across different suites in order to provide the best care and support for...
The staff at Scarlett House handled the whole process extremely effectively and as a family we felt the standard of care was excellent and a significant improvement on her previous facility.
My Aunt sadly died at the end of June but we cannot fault the care she received during her brief stay and would not hesitate in recommending Scarlett House to others.
Some issues I have previously raised do not appear to have been dealt with (ie arranging support tights for very swollen legs).
While his personal care is well maintained, I would really appreciate more time being spent with him to encourage him to interact and hopefully get involved in some activities
I think there should be more TV channels available for residents.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback about your uncle’s care at Scarlet House. All our residents are encouraged to take part in activities. Our new manager, who is very passionate about activities, is currently planning a new programme and residents are being asked what new activities...

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.
