Kenwith Castle Country House Care

from Pam R (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am Power of Attorney for my good friend of many years. Unfortunately her health has deteriorated over the last 6 months and we had to make the decision to find a care home for her. I am so glad we chose Kenwith. It is a wonderful home. The care is exceptional. Nothing is to much trouble. The staff
work long hours but they are always cheerful and compassionate. The manager is amazing and her office door is always open if you have any concerns. Kenwith Castle deserves full marks for all aspects of care..

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with Kenwith castle has been excellent. The care team go above and beyond to meet the needs of my loved one. She is always treated with dignity and respect and is treated as an individual. I have spoken with staff and they are always willing to help. They are very professional caring
people. The staff have said to me that it's not like coming to work it's their home from home. Always lots of activities and outings . My cousin has a shower or bath at any time of the day that she wishes.The food is amazing . I regularly join my cousin for lunch at Kenwith and the food is all freshly cooked on the premises and is of a high standard . Food is always pipping hot . The cleanliness of the home is outstanding never no foul smells when I visit compared to other homes I have visited . The management are very understanding and helpful should you have any questions. This is a home that puts the residents first in every aspect. This is down to the fantastic team at Kenwith Castle

Kenwith is an amazing care home. It could not be better. My mum has received expert care at a time in her life when she really needs sensitive care and attention.
All the staff are extremely supportive of our whole family at this difficult time, and are always there for a hug if I need it too!
We
are kept informed of Mum's health needs and we work together to navigate the complex care systems in place!
We have all built lovely relationships with the staff, and Kenwith really does feel like at home.

My dad has been a resident at Kenwith for just over a year, and I'm so impressed with the care and community.
Making the decision to place a loved one in a care home is never easy, but it has given my dad a new lease on life. The management team is so friendly and approachable, the reception team are
always so welcoming and the care team are fantastic, treating my dad with dignity and respect. The activities team is incredible, offering a wide variety of engaging activities for the residents. The home is always spotlessly clean!
A special thank you to the Christmas Day team, who went above and beyond to ensure the residents had a wonderful celebration - my family and I were so impressed.
Knowing my dad is cared for in such a supportive and vibrant community, surrounded by beautiful grounds, has been a huge comfort to me and my family. We always feel so welcome when we visit.
Thank you to everyone at Kenwith Castle for everything you do!

My father has been a resident at Kenwith Castle Country House Care since May 2024, firstly for respite care and then permanently.
He has been so well looked after since day one. The staff are amazing. They pass his door every few minutes, with always a wave, a hello and a smile. His quality of life
has improved dramatically, from seeing very few people to being part of a community.
Yesterday, Christmas Day, we visited in the morning to find a wonderful homely atmosphere, with all the staff making us feel like a family.
I am so sure that Dad is in the best place, with the best possible care.

My Mum came to Kenwith Castle for respite care after having a hip replacement. She also has mild dementia. She was more confused after the operation. The staff have been excellent in making my Mum feel comfortable relaxed and at home while staying at Kenwith. It was exactly what my Mum was looking for
and needed after the operation. Her room has a great view of the lake. Our family has really enjoyed visiting and using the facilities like the pub and the coffee shop. Their facilities make visiting fun. My mum loved all the social activities on daily.

I moved to Kenwith Castle a month ago having lived independently up until then. I feel there are more restrictions than I thought there would be, however, understandably this is to keep others safe. Having the grounds has been a positive experience as I go round on my scooter multiple times a day. I
really look forward to the weekly quiz and crossword activities. The carers and staff are really friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. I feel very settled here.

Kenwith is a lovely care home in a beautiful setting. My mother stayed here for a short respite break and was very well-cared for. All of the staff, without exception, that we encountered were very kind, friendly and professional. They responded promptly to my mother's needs and treated her with respect
and as an important individual. My mother returned home in a much improved mental and emotional capacity. Thank you to all of your lovely caring staff.
