Since mum has moved into Carrstone House, as a family we have found Charmaine and the rest of the team to be very kind, caring and respectful. Every effort is made to celebrate special occasions and family/friends are encouraged to join in too. The home itself is very welcoming, from Maddie on reception through to housekeeping, Angie in the office to the lovely carers. There is a definite feeling of being 'at home' and mum appears relaxed and settled, much more so than in previous homes. Thank you Carrstone House.

My experience of Corrstone House Care Home has been predominately very positive. The care of my father is appropriate for his needs and the staff team relate to him in a positive and respectful way. There is a good sense of humour which he enjoys. Medical attention has been very good with weekly visits from professional well trained paramedics and swift response to health needs. One concern is with fire safety and evacuation procedure which is not visible. Also no help on Avery Website? Wonder why not?
Thank you for your valued feedback. I hope that since our meeting, we've been able to clearly explain our procedures to your satisfaction and point you to where these can be accessed within the service. If you have any further questions or require additional clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out.
My mother moved to Carrstone House from another care home and it was a great choice. The staff have been amazing even though her needs have changed considerably over the few months she has been there, they have adapted and care for her so well. Thank you so much to all the team.

Moving into Carrstone House has given my mum a new lease of life. From the moment of her arrival she has been treated with the upmost respect from all members of staff. The home has a great community spirit which gives it a lovely atmosphere. There are lots of activities for mum to join in with and I think this has made the biggest difference to Mum's life as she is doing things that she hasn't done for years, which has given her purpose to her day. As a relative I have always been made very welcome and any information about my mum is always readily available. Thank you to all the staff for all your hard work.
