Carrickstone House Care Home

Great start when Mum was transferred here following a stroke. Her mobility wasnt affected only her speech and reasoning. She was sent here for rehab only. However it soon went downhill - no rehabilitation even after repeated requests rude staff treating her like a dementia patient and talking to her like a child poor Mum has lost 3 kilos in a week. Also had a mysterious unwitnessed fall and broke her hip as a result. Still waiting on a full report and explanation. Think twice before sending your loved one here on the surface they're lovely however the reality is very different! Can't get Mum out fast enough

Shambolic experience with this care home. No communication from them despite 4 days of trying and then being repeatedly palmed off. If you are happy not to have any updates or have proper discussions then this is the care home for you. My relatives assessment was sent to them and it took over 5 days for it to be read and then not given a place without much of an explanation. If my relatives care needs are too difficult, which was the only reason offered, then it would suggest that this is a care home that cannot provide any suitable level of nursing care.( My relatives care needs are not high or demanding and I say this as someone with experience in the care sector ) Fine and entirely their choice as a business however for ppl needing care and a level of communication, this in my opinion, is not a person centred facility at all and best avoided.
