  • Castle Hill House, Bodmin
Castle Hill House is a family owned care home, situated in landscaped gardens in a quiet area of Bodmin. The home specialises in providing 24-hour sympathetic, professionally given care to mainly elderly clients. The team cater for residential clients with varying care needs.

The bedrooms at Castle Hill House are nicely decorated and furnished throughout. Designed for maximum comfort, each room also has its own modern nurse-call system so that staff can be called 24 hours a day.

There are a variety of bedrooms which are either traditionally styled in the original house which dates back to 1865, or newer purpose built rooms with en suite facilities in the recent extension. Most rooms are single rooms, for clients to enjoy their own space. However there are a few rooms which are larger and are for those who enjoy some company and wish to share.

Trained cooks and the rest of the catering team take great pride in providing home cooked nutritious and varied meals, using fresh produce and high quality ingredients. Vegetarian dishes and special dietary needs are always catered for as are peoples likes and dislikes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were so lucky to find Castle Hill and mum has lived here now for nearly two years. Everyone has been so supportive in that time. The atmosphere is always welcoming and the staff are so friendly and caring. The activities are so well planned, going above and beyond for the residents to have a wonderful
time. Everything is always covered from medical matters to laundry and beyond. The food is excellent and chef's birthday cakes a great favourite. The list of praise goes on! We cannot thank you all enough.

My mum moved into Castle Hill House in December 2024. We were so pleased she settled so well. She is 90 and needed more nursing than I could give at home. The staff are so nice, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Castle Hill.

After being discharged from hospital and unable to cope at home, dad has spent over eighteen months at Castle Hill House where he has been very well cared for. Everyone has been very supportive and always available to chat with him, establishing good relationships.
The home is in a nice setting, is
clean and welcoming with good facilities. A wide and regular range of entertainments is offered and visitors always felt welcomed.
Both the care team and management have communicated well with me as events unfold.
I am very grateful for the quality of care offered and friendly attitude of everyone at Castle Hill House.

I'm very pleased with the standards, my uncle is very happy. Staff quick to spot anything wrong. The is always clean, with no smells that you can get.

My dear wife has been a resident in Castle Hill House now for almost 4 years and my satisfaction and utmost thanks to all the staff grows and grows with each day. The facilities are all of the highest order as is the food and standard of care. I am continually awed at the generous behaviour towards
myself and the fabulous regard felt towards us both. There are many organised activities with outside visitors adding to the variety. I am so pleased that my wife is a resident in this outstanding care home.

As a family, we feel very fortunate that our dad is settled in such a lovely, privately owned care home. The staff are helpful, friendly, efficient and most importantly caring in their work. Walking into Castle Hill House you are always greeted with a smile and are made to feel welcome. It has a comfortable,
homely feel. Dad has a good size, light and clean room, with easy access to his bathroom and a nearby lounge. There's always an extensive range of activities on offer, the musical entertainment visits are a particular favourite for him. The food looks delicious too and visitors are always welcome, with no constraints on timings, which is beneficial as I live a distance away. Well done to everyone at Castle Hill, we appreciate your thoughtfulness and caring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Castle Hill House in October, after trying a two week respite stay. She has settled in very quickly.
Mum regularly comments on how kind, friendly and helpful all the staff are and this fits with my experience when I visit. I have also found the senior staff to be very helpful and professional
whenever I have had a query, and they make sure I am kept up to date.
The activities are exceptionally well organised and varied and mum has been given a lot of support to get involved.
The kitchen copes well with mum's dietary needs.

My brother and sister in law have been residents at Castle Hill House since March 2021. I live 250 miles away so am not able to make regular visits, but when I do I am welcomed and the atmosphere is good. I am kept informed by staff and have regular zoom calls with my relatives. Staff are kind and helpful
and seem to have a very good rapport with my relatives.

Review from Jayne W (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum is generally very happy at Castle Hill House and any complaints from her are really just because she's having an off day rather than anything ongoing. I find the staff extremely friendly and helpful to her. The home does not seem to rely heavily on agency staff so there are always familiar people
around which must be good for residents with dementia. The surroundings at the home are pleasant and everything seems well organised, especially the amount of activities on offer which mum enjoys. I find any issues I need to raise are promptly dealt with. My only negative comment is the call system in operation which means an almost constant background noise of the call bell ringing. Also, I have only given 4 stars for cleanliness as there are sometimes cobwebs in Mum's room and bits and pieces of things she has dropped left under the bed.
Reply from Claire Cooper, Deputy Manager at Castle Hill House

Thank you for such positive feedback. It is always good to hear that people are pleased with what we are doing. We know we have a fantastic staff team and its lovely to have their efforts mentioned. We will pass on your comments. Your feedback is appreciated and has enabled positive changes to our clean teams paperwork, auditing and checks. The call bells can be notably during our busiest times of the day, as we have high demands at particular times of the day, one being the morning for the big rush to all be up and dressed ready for our very popular daily activities. Call bells are regularly monitored and often it is a case of multiple calls, sometimes overlapping and sometimes one after the other. It is important that all our residents to know they can call for help whenever they need so we do encourage use of the call bells. We will continue trying to improve response times to the call bells.

My uncle has been a resident at Castle Hill House for approximately 13 years. He is very happy at Castle Hill. He doesn't participate in any of the organised activities, but that is his choice and he is happy not to do so. He seems to enjoy his food, and when I have visited him at meal times, I have
commented on how the food looks very nice. The staff I have met seem very kind and friendly, which is very important. My only negative comment is that his walls could do with a coat of paint, but I think the home is aware.

My Mother after being diagnosed with vascular dementia had a 2-week respite stay at Castle Hill House in February, which she enjoyed. In April she returned as a permanent resident. All the staff are very friendly, kind, and caring with an extra special mention to the Activity Coordinator, who goes above
and beyond to bring some fun and sunshine to the resident's lives. The food is very good and all the communal areas are bright, clean, and welcoming. The resident's rooms are cosy, comfortable and can be personalised with personal belongings. I am very happy that Mum has now settled in and is now living her best possible life, in a lovely home!

My Mother had needed respite, following two falls on consecutive days. She had become overtired.
Castle Hill gave her the care she needed to rest and recuperate. Her negative feelings towards care homes have completely gone. Fantastic food. Wonderful staff and spotlessly clean. Now happy to return
to enable her to be independent should she need a rest.

The staff really upped their game as my father's health declined. They have always been good, but when he needed extra care, they responded really well. There were a lot of visits and generally checking to see that all was OK. They went the extra mile to try and find out why he wasn't feeling so well.

Thank you for your review, we can't express how much it means to our entire team when families express their thanks and appreciation for our staff that go above and beyond.

Staff very welcoming and very obliging. My wife is bedridden and cannot enjoy the full facilities and activities hence left comments blank. They call on her frequently so she is never unattended for long. Their response is fairly quick to personal alarm. Food is excellent and reaction to special requests
is very good and at any time of the day. Medicines are readily given.

The staff really threw themselves into activities over the festive season. Creating a fun and cheerful atmosphere both for residents and their visitors. The care home was a warm and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you enter the first set of doors and continues throughout, which is why it was chosen.
Security, care and resident's welfare are high on their agenda. A great place.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.696)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.696) out of 10 for Castle Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.696 for Castle Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.696
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castle Hill House is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Careen Harris

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2020

My name is Careen, I qualified as a nurse in 1985, back in the days when nurses wore large silver buckles and frilly hats. I’ve seen a lot of changes but one thing that never changes is my fascination with people and their stories; I have had the privilege of caring for someone whose job was to press the first new coins for the royal mint, the person who invented the TOG rating for duvets, a lady who travelled across the London Underground during the war with her handbag stuffed full of diamonds after the bank she worked for was bombed, I've even had occasion to sing ‘Happy 111th Birthday to you…’.


My days are as varied as the people that fill them, just one of many reasons why I love my job here at Castle Hill House.
