My mum is receiving amazing care at castle keep, everyone of the staff not only give my mum a* care they also look after us when we are there and make us feel so welcome and relaxed when we visit. It really is a pleasure. I obviously never wanted my mum to come into a care home but it has been made
so much easier knowing she is receiving amazing care.

My father has only been a resident for 3-months after coming from another home. He seems a lot more settled here, and the staff have a lot to do with that. I know he isn't always easy to handle, but the staff are professional and kind. They put my mind at ease with how they care for him. Thank you

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Nightingale ward staff are amazing! They really do go above and beyond to look after all the residents and really create amazing events and activities for them to enjoy and be involved with! They really do CARE! During Covid-19 lockdowns they had to step up further to be there when family members
couldn't and that meant everything to me and my family. I just wish admin was a person with empathy and excellent people skills as it's needed when working in the care sector.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband's care during the last year has been excellent. The staff are kind and empathetic, despite the difficulties he presents. He appears to be happy in the care home as far as I can tell, and the staff work to a refined regime to maintain safety during the pandemic. I am very disappointed to not
have my request for an essential carer considered. Despite these risks, this is very important to me.

My husband was taken into respite care last May at the beginning of Covid restrictions. A very difficult and emotional time for all concerned. To my amazement, I found that the care and love given, was much more than I could have hoped for. Not just for my husband, but for myself too. Thank you all
so much to all who work so hard at Castle Keep for keeping our loved ones safe and contented. I highly recommend this Care Home when you are unable to cope with the situation at home. Well done everyone.

I am really happy with the care that my mum is receiving at Castle Keep in Hull. All the staff are amazing and very caring. She feels safe and happy. My only criticism would be that the home does not have the appropriate technology for video call when visiting is not allowed these could also be booked.

I am not able to comment on some of the options below because I have not been inside Willow unit since March.
However, I have visited my Mother four times in the garden under the booked appointment system which has been very well planned and managed. The staff I have met on these visits and those
I have spoken to on the phone have been well informed and kind, demonstrating impressive commitment and empathy.

My uncle came to Castle Keep last December and I was so happy. He has come on two-fold to what he was. The care at the home in my estimation is second to none. They deserve a medal for the way they have kept all the resident's spirits up during this lockdown. the staff are friendly, caring and approachable
at any time. Thank you for your work and time.

My husband has been cared for at Castle Keep for the last few months. I have 30 years in care from a personal carer to manager and I can say from my heart that this home has exceeded all expectations. All the staff are friendly, compassionate and show great empathy to residents and relatives. My thanks
to you all, you are the best.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Barchester Castle Keep Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.854 for Barchester Castle Keep Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.854
  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 Barchester Castle Keep Care Home is based on 14 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
