My husband seems to be very settled in his surroundings and has been very calm which is a relief to me. If I raise concern i.e. I thought my husband's foot was swollen, the doctor was out the next morning and I got a phone call to tell me what was going on.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The overall standard of care was good. The staff appeared caring and attentive. Before lockdown I thought the activities were good (concerts and parties etc) - I don't know after lockdown arrived. The staff were good at keeping me informed about my mums health and well-being. Her bathroom could do with
an upgrade, but apart from that standard of her room was good.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Recently had an issue involving a battery-operated air purifier, which was discussed with staff who said they would look into it. I spoke with the area manager also who said she would look into it and get back to my husband (he was the one who spoke to her). No feedback at all. He made his own enquiries
and drew negatives from all concerned. Even a courtesy call from the area manager would have been appreciated - even if the results were unfavourable.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As a family, we can't fault the care that our mum has received, and the dedication and support from the staff are excellent. We appreciate how difficult and stressful the last year has been for everyone, but feel that there could have been a bit more communication to provide updates on our mum's condition.
(A brief 2-minute conversation would have been sufficient).
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Castle View Care Home

Thank you for your very positive comments about the home and the staff. We will review our ongoing communications with families as we are very sorry that you were let down by this.

Review from Pat F (Husband of Resident) published on 7 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Castle View staff have treated my wife thoughtfully and with great care. They have paid great attention to her personal hygiene as well as the cleanliness of the home. Whilst I have not seen any examples of Castleview catering during my visits in March, my wife is a healthy weight and in apparent good
health apart from her major medical condition.
Re the ratings I have left three unrated because I have had no contact with home management, food or activities during March.

My husband has received excellent care and attention, and I am happy in the knowledge that he is being well looked after. I also know I can call and telephone at any time to speak to someone if I have any concerns, and I will be listened to. The staff are lovely and are very caring people who do a difficult
job.

I am very happy at the way my dad has settled in and how he communicates with the staff and residents. During visits, my dad is always very happy and content. Staff are always very helpful, and nothing seems to be a bother to them.

Mum has been in Castle View for just over a year now and has had first class care. Carers go above and beyond to make Mum comfortable and happy.


Hygiene and cleanliness is also to a high standard as are Mum's medical requirements.

Mum was admitted to Castle View at the end of August 2018 in the later stages of MND. As a family, we have nothing but praise for the staff who looked after mum so well and with professionalism and compassion. We were listened to when we had any concerns (which were very few) and changes were made.
Nothing was ever any trouble for staff and we always felt welcome and mum was happy. Sadly she passed away at the end of January but we are grateful to the staff for making her time there very comfortable.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.612)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.612) out of 10 for Castle View Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.695 for Castle View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.695
  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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castle View Care Home is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917
  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.
