My father John (Jack) recently passed away there. Cargate could not have been a more fitting place for him to spend his last few months.
Caring, attentive and dignified is an understatement. They went over and above to make Dad's final days amazing as well as looking after the family.
Interaction and communication always was at the highest level.
I'd mention the staff involved but the list is long and glorious.
Thank you all xx

Wonderful home could maybe do with more staff but the staff who are there are brilliant very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Mum is very happy there and is well looked after. Plenty of activities for those who want to join in, and any concerns are dealt with, with care
and compassion, staff always keep us relatives up to date with what’s going on. We couldn’t be happier with Mum's progress since arriving at the home.

I can't rate this home enough the staff are so helpful and cater to every need my mum has, they go above and beyond.

My mum was at Carr Gate for a short while before being assessed as end-of-life care but everyone was very caring and supportive and my mum's care was excellent. the night nurse was especially lovely.

Cannot fault care of the staff who were caring, attentive and lovely. We have been so happy with the care our mum received.

On 06.02.2023, my brother pressed the button to get the attention of the staff because he wanted to do a number two. My brother is bed bound so he can't get to the toilet, it was 45 minutes before anybody came. When a person came, my brother told them he want to do a number two, this person went off
to tell someone else and it was 20 minutes before someone came to him. To me, this is not good enough but I do appreciate that the staff are very busy. Also, my brother is on oxygen, what if there had been something wrong with the oxygen?

Kindness from all.

The resident is being looked after very well, both for his nursing care needs and for his care home needs. The staff are friendly, always attentive to his needs and inform me of any issues that may arise. The rooms are clean and tidy and the care home is to a good standard.

Cannot fault the home and staff. My mother has never been happier in her later years.

Mum was fast-tracked to Carr Gate from hospital after a massive stroke. She spent seven weeks there being very well looked after by all staff from cleaners to head nurse. I even had a meeting with the head chef, as he wanted to make sure he was doing all he could too! Any issues were quickly
resolved, anything that we needed for Mum was there within five minutes! Mum was unable to speak, but she still managed to get across what she needed and staff always on hand to help. The only thing thing I think could be improved, is changing carpets to hard flooring for ease of cleaning. We'd like to thank all the staff for their hard work, during a very stressful time for us.

Always found the staff extremely helpful.
Staff facilitate a 'Zoom'' contact with our relative every week.
Overall review is very satisfied. Thank you all so much.
03 September 2021
Mum came here for a short stay while care providers were put in place after six weeks in hospital.
Every single person we met in Carr Gate Care Home showed no end of their support, kindness and caring ways. Nothing was too much for them and didn't have to ask twice for anything.
Huge thanks and
gratification to every single member of the team there. Keep doing what you do.

Super management team at Carr Gate with highly experienced and qualified nursing team who have an excellent understanding of my mum's nursing needs. The care staff are considerate, cheerful and most importantly kind - which is the most important attribute of all. As with all care homes, it would be
wonderful if funding would allow for carers to spend an hour or two sitting and chatting with residents in their rooms every day, but this is just not possible under the UK’s health and social care system. Mum is happy at Carr Gate and has told me numerous times that she never wants to leave. I have no hesitation in commending the entire team.

Care is excellent, and all needs are met.
Very friendly staff and very caring.

Can only comment on limited visiting due to Covid 19. We have been happy with the service received to date. Mum is settled and happy in the care at Carr Gate. Mum expresses concern at lack of staff on weekends compared to weekdays.

Extremely helpful staff, kind and those I have met were dedicated to their profession which I found really reassuring.
They were quick to answer any questions from me about details regards care and facilities, and anything I was not sure about. Great! Thank you all.

Carr Gate care HOme made my dad feel at home from the moment he arrived. Their approach to caring is totally individual and personal and my dad's experience was first rate. Many thanks, Carr gate.

Our mum lived at the home from August 2019. The home provided a family atmosphere with a high level of care and dignity from all staff. Facilities included a good mix of activities and entertainment. Rooms of a good standard. The home also offered a good line of communication to the family during
challenging times (COVID-19). Would definitely recommend it. From the family of a late resident living in the residential dementia unit.
