I always love visiting Carleton House to see my Dad every member of staff if so friendly and welcoming.
it's clean and tidy, and i cannot find a fault with any of their procedures in caring for Dad.
Well done all round to Adele and all the staff.

My mother has spent the last 3 years at this lovely care home until her death on the 31st December 2025.
The manager and team of carers, caterers, cleaners etc have helped my mother have an enjoyable time. They have all made extra time to converse with Mum, taken extra time too with us. We have
always felt welcome at all of our visits. We have also been impressed with the activities set up for Mum and the other residents. The carers have always been professional and caring. We have no hesitation in recommending the care home.

My 99 year old Mum has been at Carleton House for the last two years and has received a high level of compassionate and attentive care. The carers are wonderful, as are the hard working support team who take care of the kitchen, cleaning and maintenance. Adele and her staff have been incredibly
supportive of both Mum and myself and have responded thoughtfully to Mum's various health problems. The care home is relatively small which means there is a real family and homely atmosphere. I have got to know a lot of the staff and feel confident that they have Mum's best interests at heart when I can't be with her. Adele always listens with patience and understanding if any minor issues crop up and always responds quickly and efficiently to put things right and offer reassurance. I am so glad I chose Carleton House for Mum, the house itself may not be the most modern but the quality and dedication of the staff are exemplary which, for us, is of far more importance. Thank you!

My mother came to Carleton house in June 2024
She settled in well and have seen a marked improvement in her overall health and condition
The staff are lovely and kind and always appear happy and helpful
Would always recommend this home
19 January 2026
Both my parents have been resident at Carlton House, although mum has now been able to move into housing with care, so I have plenty of experience over the past few years. Dad is currently there and has been looked after by Adele and her wonderful team since late 2019. I can honestly say that the
staff are wonderful- not only the care staff but the cleaners and kitchen staff too. Dad can be a little difficult at times due to his illness and I know he's always treated with kindness and respect and is safe. The house and the gardens are lovely too. I really couldn't be happier to know he's being cared for there.

My brother and I can't thank Adele and her amazing team enough, It has been a difficult transition for my mother but the caring staff have been on hand to make this journey as easy as possible. We are so happy with how things are going, mums room is lovely and always kept clean and tidy. Mum is
always presented well with fresh clothes and the staff get her to be as mobile as possible during the day. She has mentioned that she feels safe and the staff look after and treat her well. We are happy to recommend Carleton House for your loved ones, for us it has been a lifeline knowing that mum is looked after and care for 24 hrs a day.
A huge thank you to all staff you are brilliant,

My mum is looked after as if she is family, which is very important to us. I find all the staff kind, friendly and caring. Nothing is too much trouble.
Carleton House is a second home for me too, I feel welcome, supported and relaxed to stay with my mum at anytime of the day. Home from home for both
of us xx

Mum has been cared for at Carleton House Care Home for around 7 years. We feel she is well looked after by friendly and approachable staff. The house provides a warm and welcoming environment for residents and their visitors. Thank you!
22 February 2024
The home is lovely and decorated to give the place a homely feel. The staff are absolutely amazing and very helpful. I really appreciate what they do for my dad. The food is absolutely amazing and always home-cooked.

I was a senior GP covering a particular area so have worked with most of the care homes in the area. All our staff loved Carleton House more than any other. Our nursing team used to say they had booked their places there!
When my mum needed care Carleton House was the obvious choice. The manager
has been fantastic and visited Mum in the hospital to assess her and together with her team have made Mum feel loved and cared for. Nothing is too much trouble. I feel they have got to know her as an individual and personalised her care. The whole team from managers, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff and laundry staff just go above and beyond.
I know from visiting dozens of care homes in my job that grander-looking homes do not mean better care. It's the kindness of the staff that makes this place perfect.

Carleton House is a very welcoming home set in beautiful surroundings. My mother has been a resident in Carleton House since July 2021. The staff provide excellent personal and social care. They are dedicated, caring and supportive of both my mother and our family. The care team keeps us updated
about all aspects of her care. My mother always speaks highly about the quality of the food and the care she receives. As a family we are extremely happy with all aspects of her care and the activities provided by the staff at Carleton House.
Thank you all so much.

A lovely family run home, it was very hard for me to put my mum into a care home, but within a few days I was able to sleep again at night. Everyone at Carleton House is friendly, supporting not only your loved one, but the family as well. The home is like one large family, the food is amazing,
always smells so good when I visit mum, and always very good quality. Always plenty of activities within the home, and lovely gardens to sit in, in the summer. Decoration and cleanliness within the home is of a very high standard, I would recommend Carleton House to anyone looking to get help with their loved one.
05 February 2024
My parents moved to Carleton House in July 2023 when my dad was no longer able to look after my mum after living in their house for 65 years. They share a joint room in the home. The transition was difficult for them but the personal care and attention shown by the management and caring staff have
been fantastic in helping them to settle.
As the home is small the carers are able to bond with the residents which gives the home a family feel and a personal touch.
There are lots of entertainments provided that the residents can join in with if they wish to help stimulate and pass the time. We have attended the summer BBQ, fireworks display and Christmas pantomime at the home which have been brilliantly organised.
I would like to thank all the staff for the care and attention they provide for my parents and wish them all the best for the future.

My mother has been a resident at Carleton House since June 2023. She has been very well cared for and her diverse needs are invariably accommodated, carers have been kind and supportive to her and she loves the food. All the staff chat with her and recently she has told me ‘she feels happy’. There
is nothing more one can wish for when making this difficult decision that someone needs more care.
There is always a warm welcome for whoever visits.
Thank you.

I can't speak highly enough of Carleton House Care Home and its dedicated and caring team. My dear aunt moved there in November 2021. She was living with dementia and totally unable to care for herself. Finding such a caring, personalised home for her gave me such peace of mind.
From being very
withdrawn and resistant to care, I saw my lovely aunt truly blossom in their care. She loved chatting with the carers and staff and could again interact with people with confidence and happiness. She thrived under their patience and good humour too. She was always clean and dignified and given time, including quiet time when needed. They simply took time to talk to her and go the extra mile in remembering all her little ways. To see her face light up was so moving. I visited her weekly and treasure that time during her final months.
When my dear aunt reached the end of her life, the care she received from the staff was personal, gentle and exemplary. Thank you all so much.

My father was a resident in Carleton House Care Home from October 2021 until April 2023 and from the very first pre-assessment visit to his end-of-life care, I could not thank everyone enough for the care and support they gave him and our family on our visits during this time.
It helped all of us
to know that whatever situation arose at any time, day or night, there was always someone there that could help.
All the staff were friendly and helpful and, when required, contacted us with updates during his stay.
It was the most difficult decision to have to place him into care but, thanks to all at Carleton House, the correct one.
Thank you all once again.

The staff, from care to kitchen and cleaning staff, are happy to talk when you go in and care staff go the extra mile to keep residents happy and well looked after. The activity coordinator really works hard to do things with residents. I myself worked in social care for thirty years until I retired
with ill health and know what is expected of staff and they really do live up to a high standard all the time. I am really very happy.

Mum went into Carleton House Care Home permanently in March of this year. She was very unsettled at first and was angry and upset at times and could be a challenge, but the staff were always kind and patient with her. She is strong-willed and it has taken some time but she now thinks of it as home.
She said today when I went to see her how she liked being there and how nice the staff are to her. To most of us, having our loved ones content is the most important thing as it is the hardest thing I have ever done, trusting someone else to look after my much-loved mum. Thank you to all the staff at Carleton House.

I cannot praise or thank the staff enough at Carleton House. Our mum moved into the home on 13th November 2020 having had a severe stroke at the end of July 2020. From day one Mum was made to feel welcome and at home. Everyone at the home has made sure that Mum is well cared for, the food is
excellent, everyone is happy, and Mum has improved no end. They make her feel as if she is part of a big family, where everyone cares about everyone, and now calls it home.
All we want is for Mum to be happy, we were concerned when Mum made the decision to go into a care home, but our concerns were soon put aside. It does not matter when we call the home, the phone is always answered by someone who is cheerful and polite. They cannot do enough for Mum or us. We would, and have, recommended the home to others, in fact, if there were 2 spare beds my brother and I would move in tomorrow! Well done and thank you to all at Carleton House, keep up the brilliant work you do, we are so grateful. Thank you all.

Carleton House provided truly wonderful care for my grandmother and she absolutely loved her time in the home. The atmosphere was always so lovely and there is a really warm, community feel amongst all of the residents.
The management team have made such a fantastic effort to make the residents
feel safe and well looked after by the carers. Nothing is too much for the management team and they go above and beyond their duty to make sure the residents and carers enjoy every single day!
I always remember Christmas being a really special time in particular, with the decorations, music, wonderful food and opening arms to guests of the residents.
The grounds are also beautiful with lots of open space and lovely views!
