Review from Marcia R (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mum is 94 and although still living independently in her own home, she attends the Castle Care Home new "drop-in activities day". She has experienced many different things such as art, a mother’s group who bring in their young children for interaction, a singing day and a saxophonist. As a non-resident, she has always been greeted with a warm welcome from both residents and staff and I have been welcome to stay with my mother to make sure she is happy. Lunch, teas and cake are provided. She always comes home smiling and happy and has enjoyed her day.
Currently, in her life she sometimes gets forgetful and a bit confused, the training and dementia knowledge at Castle Care Home is excellent and I feel comforted to leave my mother in their care knowing their clients are their top priority.

I would, without hesitation, recommend Castle Care Home in Torrington to anyone who is thinking of care for their elderly relatives.

Review from Kevin P (Son of Resident) published on 30 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Mum is happy, especially as she said that she would never go in a home.
She is always ready to praise the staff and often mentions that she is well looked after.

I'm happy that mum is cared for and that she is content.

Overall Experience

I have found all the staff to be very friendly. They really seem to care for my 93-year-old dad. His double incontinence does not seem to worry them. Thank you.

Review from Susan C (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I really like the interaction of the different age groups when little ones come for "messy play" etc. This really seems to brighten the spirits of the residents. Also, the home pets are a welcome distraction and very popular.

Reply from Hannah Rollins, Deputy Manager at Castle House Care Home

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very proud to have been one of the first care homes in our local area to introduce Intergenerational Care and also embrace how animals can assist with the health and wellbeing of both residents and staff.
