Mum has only been in the care home for 3 weeks so far , and I can honestly say she has blossomed since being there. The staff are always so kind and considerate and are ready to step in if help and support is needed, nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is always good and many snacks and drinks offered between meals. There always seems to be someone you can talk to if we want to ask how mum has been whilst we were away. The actives are very varied and well thought out. I have nothing negative to say. Well done everyone.

My Father had a short time at Castlemead Court and I would say it is far more than a care home - it is truly a home that cares. Every member of staff was exceptional, showing kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion at all times. An outstanding team providing outstanding care.

Mum relocated to Castlemead Court in November 2024, and we haven't looked back since. A care home can look like a Palace but it's the people that make a care home, a home. The staff here are simply wonderful, from management to kitchen staff and everyone in between. I'd go as far as to say some are like family to mum and me. I was unable to visit last year due to illness and mum ran out of chocolate, so the staff went and got some for her. I should add that mum cannot communicate, so she could't have asked them, they just saw the need and knew I was unable to visit, so sorted it themselves. Every visit, I see staff across the unit go about their work with kindness and compassion and when your loved one passes, they are there for you too, even attending the funeral. I have rarely seen such dedication to duty. #notallangelshavewings
We're glad we could support both you and your mum, especially during times when visiting was difficult. Thank you for your trust - it's a privilege to care for your mum.
From the moment my mum arrived my whole family have been completely happy with my mums care. Many thanks to all the staff they have been faultless in every way. Knowing that my 90 year old mother is being cared for in this way is wonderful.
