Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We decided to move my Aunt to Scarlett House in the spring of 2018 after a brief spell in hospital and because she was very unhappy about returning to her previous care home.
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.

I am generally very happy with the care given to my uncle.
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.

Review from Dorothy H (Resident) published on 24 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is light, airy and spacious with what one may describe as "wedding venue" style! Lovely wall spaces for display but, alas, no art!
Equipment, where provided, of a high standard but apart from dining chairs, chairs have been chosen for looks rather than utility. e.g. Most are far too low to
allow people to get up from, no riser/recliner chairs that I have seen.
One hairdryer for 92 occupants- kept in hair salon. Activities are backward looking and do not provide stimulation on the whole. e.g. Too much showing of 50 and 60-year-old films etc and patronising singsongs. Major film showed on TV in unsuitable room while the purpose-built cinema was used for a meeting.
Wonderful atmosphere which is non-restrictive, free and easy and the young staff are a delight. Food- adequate but some cheap food e.g wet, cold, no excuse.
Please note I have given a full verbal report to the manager.

Overall very pleased with everything apart from meals.
If restaurants can provide hot flavoursome meals I can't understand why Mum's is so bland and served on cold plates - prefers tinned soup rather than cooked on premises.
Staff are very good and friendly.
But I do think she is in the best place
even if she doesn't.

Review from Jane B (Relative of Resident) published on 28 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The atmosphere in the care home is generally very cheerful. Reception are extremely pleasant and make you feel welcome. The home made cakes and biscuits along with the accessible drinks really make a difference when you visit and it is really nice to be able to share a drink with your relative. The
cleanliness is generally good and the home always smells clean, however, the cleaning staff often appear rushed and the little things don't get done.


The care staff are always very professional, treat the residents with respect and dignity, often in challenging situations. The only failing here is when things get promised and then don't happen, like nail cutting and baths. The activity staff could be more proactive in rounding up residents.

Great home, can't complain but, sometimes staff are a bit too rough but that's because I have a frozen shoulder to try to look after and it's very painful.
I had an X-ray last year showing inflammation around the shoulder joints. I feel I may be ringing my bell too much because of staff shortages.
The girls have more important things and people to look after apart from me.
Personality, in my opinion, is very important in this situation.

My mother-in-law moved here in February 2017. She came straight from hospital at very short notice to the home. She has settled in well thanks to the staff and stimulating environment. The facilities are extremely good and we noticed that she was called by her name immediately, the staff seeming to
know her instantly.
A very good sign that this was a very caring environment.

My mother came in two years ago and was treated very well indeed, like part of a big family. Unfortunately, she died within the year, due to ill health. Now my Mother-in-law is a resident here and is also very well looked after, although she needs nursing care as well.
Whenever we arrive, we are always
treated warmly and feel very welcomed by all the staff.

My wife and I have been very impressed with all aspects of the care and services provided at Scarlet House. My mother, who is 90 years of age, settled into her new home very quickly and soon felt at home there. She feels very happy and secure there and this is a great comfort to us. We visit every

We have been so impressed with all the staff and facilities at Scarlet House. The care they have given to settle my mother in her new home has been exceptional.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.651)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.651) out of 10 for Scarlet House 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 61 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 59 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 4.651 for Scarlet House is calculated as follows: ( (516 Excellents x 5) + (162 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 714 Ratings = 4.651
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Scarlet House is based on 59 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 59 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Becoming 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.
