My mother was admitted into this residential nursing home from hospital earlier in the year in June. She was to largely receive palliative care. At all times, both myself and my mother received courteous, friendly and efficient care. The manageress was particularly helpful.

My stepfather was only in the nursing home for three weeks before he passed away, but in that time they showed him kindness and compassion. Although he couldn't help himself he was always kept clean and everyone tried hard to keep him comfortable and although he spent most of his time unresponsive they
always spoke to him to try and get a response. We will always be grateful to management and staff.

Unfortunately mu husband did not spend very long at Carrick House because he died soon after he was admitted, direct from hospital. However during his short stay we found the staff/manager extremely caring and understanding. They could not do enough for us. My husband was treated with dignity and the
staff were extremely sympathetic and comforting to me and my daughter after he died. They made a very difficult and distressing situation bearable and we can't thank them enough.

Our mother was admitted to Carrick House and really enjoyed the experience. At age 84 and in a wheelchair she was treated with care and respect even when she was being awkward. The atmosphere is very cosy and the staff are friendly. It's almost like a second home. The food is good and someone is always
on hand to help out. I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

There are no words to describe the excellent care given by the manager and her entire team. My mother was treated like their own - in fact even better than we could treat her.
They were all very caring and passionate about their work, if I could call it work, because their work was like their worship.
You
could tell by the way they worked with patients in making them very comfortable.
I once again cannot thank them enough as I would be doing them a disservice not trying to thank them. Thank you (The owners) for making a team.

From the first day June 21st 2016 when my mother got moved to Carrick House from hospital, she has the best care that we could have asked for.
The manager made her so comfortable, all the staff called her "Ba" what we have called her all her life. Everyone was taking such good care of Ba. My whole
family felt like we were allowed extra quality time with Ba knowing that she had very little time left.
We are from USA and wanted to spend time with her. The kitchen staff were the best also, they would be willing to make different dishes for her, just so that they would know that she ate a little bit of something. I want to thank each and every one of you for taking such good care of Ba.

I came here from hospital and was given my own room with T.V to watch cupboards and wardrobe. After a few days settled into the routine, nurses washing you each day, meal times. Staff always on hand with your buzzer when you need them. There is a large lounge if you want to go into, outside garden etc,
but I stayed in my room as I was recovering from a serious accident preferred the quiet area doing puzzles, reading and watching a bit of T.V. staff always encourage you a lot and I got stronger

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10 for Carrick House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.962 for Carrick House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.962

  • b) 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 Carrick House Nursing Home is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
