From the first moment I arrived at Castle Hill, I was so impressed with everyone's kindness and friendliness. My father has settled in so well, is very happy there and always tells people he loves his new home!
The planned activities are amazing always well thought out to ensure that all the resident

are able to join in. My father is well fed and looked after. It is always a pleasure to visit him at Castle Hill.

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at Castle Hill House in Bodmin for almost a year. She is being looked after as if she is a part of a loving family there. The carers always appear cheerful and welcoming and always focus on each resident's needs. Mum always looks clean and tidy and enjoys the lovely meals.

She especially enjoys all the activities, games, and sing-alongs she takes part in, along with many residents of varying needs, under the watchful eyes of the carers, who are all clearly happy in their role and dedicated to them all. Mum is very happy there.

We have used Castle Hill House for respite care for both my Mum and now my Father in law.
We found the staff to be very caring and friendly. Both parents were happy with their stay and the excellent care they received. The rooms in both cases were clean, tidy and well presented with a pleasant view.
The

food is of a high standard with good variety. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you Castle Hill.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Helen M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Annie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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

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.

Review from N S (Niece of Resident) published on 19 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Careen Harris, Manager at Castle Hill House

Thank you for your lovely comments and your input regarding the decor. We have agreed, with the resident, a plan for redecoration that works around their preferences.
