My mother has only been in for a few weeks but I have found all the staff to be very communicative. Any issues have been addressed straight away and my Mum has been much happier.

My mother is very well cared for physically, medically and mentally. She has severe dementia. I visit most days to help encourage her drinking - soup, tea, milkshakes etc. I find the staff welcoming, supportive and caring. Mum is included in appropriate activities. The laundry staff are as efficient as they can be. They have difficulty in putting residents clothes away when it's not named! Understandable, clothes are washed every day. Food is appropriate to individual needs.

Thank you, Dan, for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience at Catchpole Court Care Home. We are so pleased you felt your Grandad received great care and hope that their time at Catchpole Court did see some friendships flourish, especially with the care team.

I was taken by the nurse to fill in the paperwork, then shown all around the home and introduced to the carers and made a cup of tea. Next, I met the manager and was made to feel very welcome.
During the following months, I have been very happy with the care and attention my husband had received. Staff are always on hand to help and advice if needed.
I would certainly recommend Catchpole to any family who needed similar care.
We love this home.The staff are so caring and look after the residents so well. Today they had a hog roast day in the garden with live music. My mother in law has only been here a short time and can be really difficult but the staff take it in their stride and are able to deal with her beautifully....
Thank you to the manager and her caring staff.
Catchpole Court is an excellent place. For care of loved ones you cannot fault staff management, cleaners, rooms, for the people are really looked after with care that really exceeds all expectations.

It is always nice to receive a positive review. It is especially nice when it is from one of our Residents who lives at Catchpole Court.

For any family who has to put a member of their loved ones into a home, it becomes very difficult. However, I would definitely recommend Catchpole Court. I regularly visit Catchpole and have found the staff very kind and caring towards all residents, (especially with Dementia and Alzheimers). The activity leader offers much-valued support to both residents and their families and this is clear to see this benefits all.
Thank you so much for your kind words. The staff work very hard to ensure that the Residents receive a high standard of individualised care. Gainsborough Unit have received a specialist Dementia Award which is well deserved.
It is a very clean and tidy home, well maintained, all the staff are very good to the residents. The carers are very good and hard working, nothing is too much trouble, rooms are clean and tidy. I would recommend it to a lot of people, the management and the nursing staff are brilliant also. The...
It is a very clean and tidy home, well maintained, all the staff are very good to the residents. The carers are very good and hard working, nothing is too much trouble, rooms are clean and tidy. I would recommend it to a lot of people, the management and the nursing staff are brilliant also. The caretakers are very good with maintaining everything, they do the painting, gardening and all the other things to make the home look better. They should have a pay rise!
Thank you for completing a review for Catchpole Court. I am delighted to hear all the kind words you have to say about the care at our home. I will ensure the praise is passed onto to all the team at Catchpole. Thank you again for taking the time to complete this review.
I am happy with the care most of the time. My husband doesn't like noise so I would like him to sit mainly in a quiet area. I would like him to wear his glasses whilst I'm here visiting him. No problems regarding hygiene in the home. Eyes need more attention.

In extreme and very testing circumstances Catchpole performs extremely well. Dealing with dementia creates many physical and emotional problems. There is no perfect solution, the range of demands on all staff and on the facilities provided are wide ranging, The delivery of these services demands a great deal of patience, experience (that comes with time) and compassion. In addition there are 'technical' aspects handling, hygiene, health and safety. The staff here embrace all these with a positive attitude. There are failures but these are all outweighed by the positives. I am truly grateful and satisfied with the service provided.

I have worked in care for over 20 years. I started as a volunteer at the age of 15. I progressed through roles from Domestic, Kitchen, Care and Senior Carer. Then I moved into management, from Nonclinical Manager to senior operations roles. I come with a wealth of knowledge from children's to adult’s services. I joined Kingsley to align with my values and look forward to my journey as I move forward.
