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 people's likes and dislikes.

We were allowed to stay as long as we wanted, visit any time of day.
Just a fantastic place.

From what my husband's visitors say, my husband was very happy when they went to visit. My husband himself conveys to me he was happy to come again to stay. This makes me feel better if I know he is happy in respite when I'm away and can't visit.

Thank you for the lovely review. We are very happy to hear your husband enjoyed his time with us. We look forward to seeing him again. Please send him our regards from everyone at Castle Hill.

My mother arrived at Castle Hill House in an extremely poor state of health. She was so weak that we were unsure how much longer she would be with us. However, after 3 weeks, receiving the care and attention that she needed, she has become so much stronger. The nurses and care workers have sorted out her pain relief and adjusted her medicines. I cannot praise them enough. My mother feels safe and happy. I would recommend Castle Hill House.
Thank you for your lovely review, it really is a pleasure to hear from families of our residents and to know how happy they are with the care we provide. We are so proud of our fabulous team of staff. We will pass on your comments to them all.

The staff were lovely, professional and very helpful and the home is clearly well run and maintained.
I do feel that extra staff would help reduce pressure on the home's team, given the extensive and varied needs of the residents, but cannot fault their care and commitment.

Having visited several care and nursing homes I find Castle Hill House to stand head and shoulders above the rest. The facilities, care and overall standard is excellent. On entry, you will always find a clean, fresh smelling and overall friendly environment and no sense of complacency. Any issues and the maintenance man is there and sorted. I have no issues in recommending Castle Hill House to my relatives and friends.
Overall standard of care, staff and facilities is excellent. The staff are exceptional in their care and how they are always friendly and helpful to visitors. Mother's room is excellent.
I can rely on the staff contacting me if there is ever any need to.

Mum has been a resident of Castle Hill House for almost 3 years. Due to the severity of mum's disabilities, we were sadly no longer able to provide care for her at home, so searching for a new home was a stressful time for the family. From the first contact, we had from Castle Hill and our follow up visit, we felt supported and felt sure that Castle Hill was the best home for mum. The home was bright, cheerful and flexible - mum was able to have her own familiar furnishings and there was no restriction on visiting - perfect!
To be honest, we have raised a few concerns during mum's stay but I feel that those concerns have now been listened to and actions have been taken to rectify these. Staff are hardworking, friendly and always have a smile to greet you. Carers are well informed of mum's care needs, compassionate and kind. The food is good and some staff go the extra mile. Great efforts are made to provide regular entertainment, activities and fun for all.
We found our mother was content when she moved in especially having some of her own possessions around her. As her health deteriorated she was unable to enjoy the full activities provided her interest and ability to join in declined. The care and attention given in the latter months by the staff...
We found our mother was content when she moved in especially having some of her own possessions around her. As her health deteriorated she was unable to enjoy the full activities provided her interest and ability to join in declined. The care and attention given in the latter months by the staff was excellent.
My late wife died at the home 3 weeks after being admitted. During that time, I was impressed by the devotion and care she received from all the staff. I couldn't have wished for better.

My dad has only been in here for two weeks but we have found all the staff very helpful and kind for anything we have asked for etc. Everything always looks to be very clean and tidy.

The care my wife gets is very good. The home is very clean and the staff and management are excellent. Can't complain about anything.

My father has been to Castle Hill House for respite on two occasions. He has been treated with both the greatest of care and dignity and has enjoyed his stay. There have been many activities that he has been encouraged to participate in meaning that he is adequately stimulated. Today my father has been accepted for permanent care and myself and the family are so pleased - it means that he can be looked after in a place that he likes and we are happy with x

Following a very bad motorbike accident, my son is a resident. Once you enter through their very good security system you are made to feel very much at home by all the very dedicated staff. Although everyone is always very busy the home is always peaceful and everywhere you go is always spotlessly clean. All the residents care is to the highest standard.
The staff are very caring and always inform me if they have any concerns.

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.

I have worked at Castle Hill House for a total of ten years. I have enjoyed working alongside such a dedicated team, who strive to provide a person-centred approach to care for our wonderful residents.
Due to Claire's wonderful work ethic and care for our residents, she previously got through the Regional Care Finals of the National Care Awards!
