Looking for Residential Home recommendations/ feedback in Belfast/Carrickfergus areas

I’m looking for recommendations/ feedback for Residental homes between the greater Belfast & Carrickfergus areas.

I’ve an elderly widowed relative who might be in the market for a residential home. She has limited sight, but otherwise is very independent. No dementia. No medical or mobility problems ( apart form the sight issue) she loves to talk and meet new people. Ideally we’re looking for somewhere with immediate availability- even if just for respite initially. My aunt isn’t from this part of NI and hasn’t been in contact with a social worker in years, so from previous contact with the social worker, they won’t know any more that me about homes in this neck of the woods.

I plan to spend tomorrow phoning around homes in the above areas, but any personal recommendations would be a great help at this stage.
