The staff at Castlemaine Care Home work very hard & are respectful and caring towards the residents, however, it seems at some times (for example weekends) that there are insufficient staff to adequately deal with residents! The home management look to provide new interests for residents ef the chickens.
Reply from Samir Patel, Director at Castlemaine Care Home

Thank you for your feedback and for recognising the efforts of our team and management. We're always looking to improve, especially in areas like activities, and appreciate your ratings which help guide that. Our staffing levels remain consistent every day, including weekends, but we'll continue working to ensure residents feel fully supported at all times.

Castlemaine Care Home

from L J (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mum stayed here on a respite basis. Many of the residents have quite extreme needs, and the staff cope well with challenging behaviour. Staff always appeared to be kind to the residents. The fabric of the building is very much in need of some attention, and my mum's room was quite chilly, even in
late summer. The room was also quite small, but serviceable in terms of furnishings and always seemed clean. Overall, the home seemed clean but often smelled unpleasant. The garden is very uninspiring and could be made much nicer at low cost. The food seemed good and varied. We had to raise with them that some of mum's personal care needs were not being sufficiently met (not regular enough hair washing, for example). I wasn't really aware of much in terms of activities, although there is a television in the lounge area, and the seating is arranged to encourage small groups to socialise. The home is very safe, with entry and exit points requiring number pad entry to pass through.
Reply from Prash Patel, Director at Castlemaine Care Home

Hi, I have manged to speak to the home manager just now to discuss points raised above. We take all comments received seriously and at the same time try to find out what actually did happen whilst your Mum was under our care. I have read her care notes, mum was an independent person and was a very proud women who enjoyed taking care of her care needs privately. On some occasions, she did ask for help from Staff and she was always offered necessary support. Your dad, who visited her regularly at least twice a week who had no concerns for his wife whilst she was in our care. I am led to believe that you were not a frequent visitor. We have photographs where mum enjoyed taking part in all our daily activities offered and she particularly enjoyed sitting in our garden with your father. Rooms are left for the family members to make them personalised and I can imagine that this would be very difficult for a short term respite service user. We will learn from your review. Thanks.

Castlemaine Care Home

from Rob A (Son of Resident) published on 8 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Anyone looking to place a loved one into care please steer well clear of this dreadful home, all rooms are shabby communal areas are cold and the unwelcoming manager is less than caring. There is a total lack of funding from the owners which is reflected in the home's appearance, obviously only interested
in lining their own pockets. Staff cannot be retained, one admitting to being embarrassed to let the resident's relations enter the building. Overall a quite horrendous experience. Please see the current CQC report if you are considering homing a loved one here it's very damning.
Reply from Prash Patel, Director at Castlemaine Care Home

Hi Rob, we are sorry to hear about your experience at Castlemaine. Reading the review, we are surprised considering these concerns have only been raised recently with your loved one being placed with us, almost one year ago. Your concerns were raised to the relevant authorities and our manager has responded accordingly to their satisfaction. We are also aware this placement was at risk due to consistent non-compliance with payments. As you are aware there is an open case around the collection of service charges, which is being dealt with via the legal process. We wish you all the best for the future and hope the new placement is satisfactory based on your expectations.
