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.

It was a huge decision to move my mum to Carrstone House (CC). I visited unannounced and they showed me round. I loved it instantly and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I explained what my mother's needs were and they said that they could help with every aspect and work with me to produce a care plan which could be added to in the future.My mum's first words were 'wow' when I took her there. She is happy and has settled in well. Thank you once again . I know my mum is safe and well cared for.

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.

I've been in the care sector for nearly 11 years. I love helping people and love getting to know the residents. I am a chatterbox who loves to engage with everyone and find out about their life history. I love my job because everyday is different and it's a real honour to be a part of someone's daily life and help where I can. I look for ways to improve and promote positive wellbeing. Some days are a challenge but life is what you make it and take everyday as it comes. I became a carer to follow in the footsteps of my late nan. I am an open book and like to use my life skills and knowledge to aid me with my job role and when I took the leap to become a senior it gave me a stepping stone to use my skills and knowledge to aid others and teach. I've been at Carrstone for 2 months and love the welcome and support I have been given and I hope to continue my career with Avery and in Carrstone House.

My name is Roger Clark and I am a permanent resident of Carrstone House, which in my opinion is a second-generation care home! It has the standards of a high quality hotel designed for the elderly. It has 72 spacious, bright rooms on three floors. There are 60 staff members on shift and many of them are key to ensure smooth running of the home.On the 11th of February 2025 I had a stroke after a bad spell at the QE hospital. I was discharged and sent home with help in the morning and evening for six weeks. I was then left on my own which was very hard. I was recommended that Carrstone House could be a good solution to my problems. I came for a months’ trial on the 7th of July 2025. I have been here ever since.
I am 86 and one of the youngest residents. I try to keep active and in the summer, I watered the hanging baskets. On Saturdays I am a paper boy. I like to be involved and that is why the management has requested that I become a First Friend to any new resident in the future. I am very pleased with their decision.
I have made many friends and I am happy and optimistic for the future.
