Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Both my elderly parents are resident in this care home and I find that, to most of the staff, looking after them is more than just a job. My mother passed away on 27/07/23 and the staff could not have done any more for my mum and dad. I cannot thank them enough.

Review from L M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Yesterday I found my mother lying in bed with her 2 eyes glued together with an eye infection. When I called the nurse she said if she thought she had an infection she would ring the doctor. I said she clearly has an eye infection so yes you need to ring the doctor. I asked her to clean my mother's
eyes which she then did and then said that was the third time she had cleaned them.
My mother was lying in her bed with her trousers around her ankles unable to see, unable to even get herself a drink. Also, a used morphine patch had been left sitting on a chest of drawers and going by the date it must have been left there for 4 days.
I could go on with lots more. Almost every time I visit my mother there is an issue.
I am appalled with the lack of care my mother receives at Carrickfergus Manor.

We were delighted when Mum got a place in Carrickfergus Manor Care Home. It is even better than we had hoped and it helped us to realise that we have done the best we could for her. The facilities, care, people, food, entertainment etc. have exceeded our expectations. So, thank you to everyone who goes
beyond the call of duty in caring for the residents.
Reply from Elizabeth Jeffery, Manager at Carrickfergus Manor

Thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to our hard-working staff members. We are delighted your expectations were exceeded.

In my experience, Carrickfergus Manor has been an excellent care residence for my mother who has been there for four years. This is reflected each time I see her considering her condition. This is more especially during the pandemic period and it is a credit to all the care home staff in keeping Mum
safe and well and especially her wellbeing. All staff have been very helpful each time I visit. Strict rules on sanitising each time I enter the building helps my reassurance. Thank you again to the management and staff for their attention to Mum and all in a difficult time.

My father is treated and cared for really well and cared for by both nursing and care staff in a dignified manner. My mother visits every day when possible and she is also treated very well by all staff who make her visits comfortable and pleasant. My father's room is bright and clean with a large
well-equipped bathroom. As a family, we are very happy with Carrickfergus Manor.

My nana has been living here for 18 months and she seems very content. I miss visiting my nana due to Covid but we keep in touch online through Zoom, etc. The staff are very pleasant and seem attentive and helpful. My grandad was also a resident and I would recommend this home to anyone looking for
a home for their loved one.

I have always found Carrickfergus Manor to be a well-run care home for my mother with friendly staff. The environment is clean and the communication is pretty good as well regarding updates to my mother's condition. I would recommend this home - it's set in a nice place as well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is a resident in Carrickfergus Manor. A nursing/residential home is not a place where anybody wants a parent to end up but sometimes we have no control over life and needs must. Thankfully in Carrickfergus Manor I can say my mum seems happy, she is well looked after and is always clean and
well turned out. The rooms would put alot of hotels to shame and the home in general really is very nice. I find all the staff very attentive and helpful and my mother likes them all which is the main thing. All the staff have worked in very difficult conditions over the Covid period but have made the residents their priority and helped them during this time and assisted their families keeping in touch. I know my family and I are very grateful!!

My mum has been in Carrickfergus Manor since June 2019. Mum is happy and contented in her surroundings.
The staff are very pleasant and friendly and get on well with Mum which is the main thing. They try their best to help through these uncertain times.
We hope and pray we will get back to the good
times we had at Carrickfergus Manor when we could just come and go to see our love ones.

Some of the girls are really committed to their jobs, however, a few don't seem interested and look at this as a job and not a career; which I really feel needs your full devotion and care.

Overall our experience has been good but we have a few comments. There are too few activities, issues with hygiene and clothes washing, some of the staff are a bit too relaxed - we sometimes feel they couldn't care less. There never seem to be enough staff around, especially on public holidays.

My mother is a resident of Carrickfergus Manor and so was our late father who sadly passed away in Sept 2019. As a family, we are very happy with the high standard our mother continues to receive from, warm, welcoming, approachable management and staff. It's heartwarming to know she is so content in
her surroundings. So I can't praise the staff enough who treat our mother with so much kindness, care and dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Carrickfergus Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.750 for Carrickfergus Manor is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.75
  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 Carrickfergus Manor is based on 18 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
