Review from Marna Joan W (Friend of Resident) published on 9 April 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I had Power of Attorney for a lady who had dementia. For just over two years she was resident at another care home but as her dementia worsened I was very pleased to be offered a place at Castleford where she lived for nine years. She died on Sunday, 5th April 2020.
The staff have without fail been caring, kind and thoughtful. She has been extremely well looked after.
Castleford provides clean, comfortable, pleasant accommodation. The staff are kind and efficient. The Management seeks to provide stimulation, entertainment, engagement for all service users. Their health is monitored and cared for.
I have been so pleased to have the confidence that my friend was well provided for and looked after with care.
