Castleford is an excellent Nursing Home with very friendly, kind and compassionate staff. A highly professional all-round service is provided to all residents, who are treated with such dignity and respect by well-trained and experienced staff members. Communication is excellent, too. My mother has
been a resident for 8 months now and is so much happier and content, compared to when she first arrived from hospital, thanks to all of the fantastic team at Castleford!

My mum moved in Castleford House 4 months ago and I've been very pleased with the excellent care she's received. I live nearby, so already knew that Castleford was highly regarded, but it's lovely to see it in practice. My mum has advanced dementia but is still mobile, but this is not a problem at
Castleford and it's good to see residents being allowed the freedom and dignity to move as they please around the main living rooms. Everytime I've called in to see my mum I've seen staff treat all residents with kindness and respect. Communication between the home and me is very good - they ring with any medical concerns and we have an essigned member of staff for my mum's overall care.

Very pleasant place to visit our mum - staff are always polite and welcoming each visit. My mum always has a smile on her face. Castleford House was the best place when faced with the traumatic decision - it really feels like a home from home.

Over the years, I have found all the staff so helpful, especially when times have been difficult with my dad.
The care that he has received is caring and always dignified. If there have been any problems, the staff are quick to help in any way they can. I couldn't wish for anywhere better for my dad.

Every single time we visit we are so pleased by the way the mum is being looked after. We are always overjoyed when we see mums smiling face via social media with all the activities. We often joke that she has a far better social life than we do. Just keep doing what you do we are forever in your debt.

My mother has been a resident at Castleford House for over 3 years. She has received good care that has adapted to her changing needs as required. The staff are friendly and professional and always take time out from their duties to chat when I visit. The home is warm and welcoming and my mother is
happy and appears content.

It was a difficult decision to place Mum into care, but from the moment I met the team at Castleford, I knew that I had found the right place for Mum. I have no regrets about my decision, as I can see she is getting the support that she needs from a very experienced team of carers. The care provided
is outstanding in my view, and nothing is too much trouble for the amazing team that works here. I have found the communication to be superb, the facility is always clean and tidy and the gardens are immaculate. I also no longer worry about Mum's safety, which was a huge concern when she was at home. There is always someone around checking on her and making sure she is ok. I am so glad we found this home and I am truly grateful to the wonderful team that helps support Mum on a daily basis.

Our Brother moved into Castleford Lodge this year, he settled in extremely well right from the 1st day. The staff are friendly and without doubt, give outstanding care. It's a lovely, calm relaxing place, a real home from home. We as a family are very happy our Brother has a home in the lodge, can't
thank them enough.

On the outside, Castleford appeared a wonderful place for my brother to reside. He was admitted under one Manager, and evicted by another when we complained about him being wet during the night. The food was great to start, and then was either stone cold or boiling hot. Activity staff were only interested
when they could take pictures of my brother to showcase how wonderful they were, in reality, he was rarely involved in anything.
The room was acceptable, but the building was kept clean by a team of cleaners who never seemed to stop. Some staff seem overworked by other staff who don't appear to do a lot. We had high hopes for Castleford, which were dashed when the original manager left.

My partner has been with The Lodge for almost 2 and a half years. This care was 2nd to none with all staff being very friendly, helpful, and supportive. My partner passed away in early March and I can't praise the team highly enough for letting me know immediately how he was treated, with respect and
tender loving care. Truly a fantastic team who do care,

I would like to say that over the last few years, my brother has been looked after extremely well. He has a lot of challenges and his health can become rather complex - on a few occasions, he has had to go into hospital. If it wasn't for the caring staff at the Lodge, he would not be able to look after
himself. I am extremely grateful that he has been happy at the Lodge and is allowed his own space.

All staff are friendly and helpful. They show great compassion and empathy for the residents. The Home took my relative in despite many others turning her down due to some of her behavior, even though her characteristics are typical of dementia which many nursing homes say they provide service for.
I'd urge you to consider this lovely home, set in beautiful gardens if you are looking for a care home for your loved one.

We are really happy with the care and consideration provided to our Mother during her 2 years as a resident. Communication, care, staff, and management are excellent. Access to visit our Mother is unrestricted and the atmosphere is very good whatever time we go in. Cannot recommend the manager and his
team highly enough.

My experience with Castleford has been excellent. The staff have been professional, caring, informative, and communicative about my relative, making me feel like part of the team, and they are very alert to any changes. My relative can be difficult, and the staff cope with this and try to find ways
around the problems. My relative chooses not to eat most of what is offered, but the staff give what is asked for, and monitor any weight changes.

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a visible decline in the dining experience and quality of food. Numerous staff members have raised concerns and to date, it seems to be worse than ever. I have raised concerns which seem to have been ignored by management. Bowls which are a safety issue with residents
and staff as they’ve been in a very hot oven (lasagna or pies etc). The soup which is too hot or to the opposite extreme of being cold. The food coming out of the kitchen at the moment is way below standard and not the usual for Castleford sadly.

My mother lived at Castleford for 18 months where she died. I and my family have always found the staff very kind, loving, and respectful toward her. The staff has always had an attitude that we were sharing the care with Mum, with the amount of consultation that we chose, and always sharing changes
and issues. We are so grateful that we found Castleford and she could spend the last 18 months of her life there.
Every member of staff is kind and friendly, from the nursing staff to the carers, cleaners, kitchen staff, and maintenance. As soon as you walk in you sense that the important people are the residents, it is their home, and are treated with respect and dignity by staff, other residents, and visitors.
Mum loved the food and I had a delicious relatives' meal there!
These things all reflect the management of the home. The management style is open and friendly. The management team always listens and acts on any issue. The support and empathy from the staff has been invaluable.
