All our bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with en-suite facilities. We encourage people to personalise their rooms with small items that remind them of home.

We run an extensive programme of activities for everyone to enjoy, from one to one and group activities such as arts and crafts, gardening, quiz and game nights and sing-alongs, as well as hosting regular social events, including performances from local entertainers. We also support people to enjoy days out in the community too!

Mealtimes represent an important social occasion and we work to ensure they are as enjoyable as possible, unhurried and relaxed with everyone given plenty of time to eat and enjoy their meal, while chatting and socialising with other residents.

We make a point of celebrating birthdays and special occasions, as well as celebrating and dressing up for national festivities such as St Andrew’s Day, Mother’s Day and Burns Night

Relative

I am very happy with the care my mother receives at Carlingwark. Everywhere is kept clean and tidy. My mother is treated with respect and it's just like one big happy family. The staff are all very good and caring and work extremely hard. Seniors and management keep me informed if there were any issues regarding my mother. The meals are excellent and there is always a good choice.

My mum does not want to be in care, but it is apparent that she is well treated there.

The family are very pleased with the care and attention.
