My mum was very happy in Carntyne. The staff were all exceptional,so friendly,supportive and helped mum in all ways to feel settled and content. She had a wonderful rapport with the staff and residents. The food was home cooked and the menu variable and accommodated individual likes and dislikes to
the best of their ability.I would have no hesitation in recommending Carntyne to any prospective resident and their families.

My mum lived in Carntyne for almost 10 years.
She sadly became ill in July but was looked after with great dignity and care by the wonderful staff of Carntyne.
My mum was very happy and settled in Carntyne and it felt very much like home to her. The staff are dedicated and hard working and the
home is well led by Dianne and Wendy.

Friendly staff who provide kind care to residents. Easy to contact senior staff to make requests & get information. Any requests dealt with quickly.
Food good & home is well supported by local GP practice.
Additional services available such as Hairdresser & chiropodist & other types of
entertainment available.
Facilities being improved.

Well . . . ! Where to start . . . ? As an almost daily visitor to Carntyne Residential Care Home for the last eight months I have become quite familiar with the routine running of this, what I can only describe, as "Home from Home". The staff are fabulous; nothing is too much trouble and best of
all, their cheerful manner is infectious, allowing the residents to feel secure within a homely environment. I have visited many establishments in my lifetime and experienced mixed reactions from others who are critical of "old folks homes that smell awful and make them feel as if they don't wish to stay very long". NOT at Carntyne! (In fact, the only thing that you could possibly say is that the flavours emanating from the kitchen/dining-room are indicative of the wonderful meals provided for the residents).
Only last week I happened to come across several members of staff in Reception and I actually said that I'd be more than happy to live there when the time comes - and I meant it!

My Mum was very apprehensive about residential care and it took a lot of persuasion to get her to try Carntyne. On arrival she was warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. In less than a week she was settled and was telling all the family how kind and lovely everyone at Carntyne is. The staff
are incredibly caring and attentive, there are a wide range of well organised activities and there's a great variety of home cooked food which Mum tells us is very tasty! The home also has beautiful gardens and is in a great location - right in the centre of Hexham. I can highly recommend Carntyne Care Home.

My mum spent the last years of her life at Carntyne and and received exceptional care. This included the very challenging period during COVID and the Carntyne staff became her family during lockdown. My mum was registered blind and in her latter years also suffered from dementia, but the staff dealt
with these complex needs admirably. The staff turnover is minimal which meant that the same carers looked after my mum throughout and got to know her very well. They were also quick to spot any deterioration or changes in her health and acted immediately. Carntyne itself is a lovely house with well appointed rooms, a beautiful garden and is in a great location. We were able to take our mum out in Hexham in her wheelchair to the many tea shops and restaurants and into the park across the road which she thoroughly enjoyed. The Carntyne staff were also willing to take her to mass on a Sunday at the catholic church next door.

My father spent the last year of his life here, was very content and settled and received excellent care. This was no mean feat given the Covid pandemic! The staff were so kind and caring, and did everything they could to enable me to have conversations with Dad through the window, when I was
unable to visit in person due to lockdown.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others and am very grateful for all they did for Dad, in challenging circumstances for everyone. Thank you so much.
