Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely happy with this care home. Carers very good. Nothing too much of a problem, spend quality time with my mother who has settled in well and feels safe and secure. I, as a relative, would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone needing care. The rooms and overall building
are kept immaculate. There are daily social activities for my mother to participate if she wishes. As a daughter, I come in and spent quality time with my mother knowing she is happy, safe and well looked after.

I have found the staff and the manager of Castle View Care Home to be very caring and supportive to residents and family. rooms are clean, food is nourishing and there is a good choice with various diets catered for. Residents are treated with respect and dignity. There are various activities which
residents can join in if they wish. A hairdresser is also available two days a week. I feel Castle View is a very good care home and would recommend it.

As I have only been here three and a half weeks I am still trying to come to terms with the system. I am finding this quite difficult but feel that I will come to terms with it given more time.

My old friend's wife is a resident at Castle View. I popped in to see her and she may not have remembered me, but I could see how well she was cared for. The staff were so kind and helpful. Even the manager took time out to speak to us and was very informative. I could see she knew the lady and
cared.

Staff are considerate and caring and helpful at all times. Always patient and understanding with the residents.


Residents are well looked after, always clean, tidy, properly washed and dressed each day; personal care is excellent.


A nurse is always on duty. The nurse and staff are approachable

and ready to answer any questions or address any concerns in a positive manner.

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.
