Review from Brendan T (Brother of Resident) published on 13 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister came to reside here on the 15th of January 2016. From day one, she was treated with extreme kindness and dignity. She can be difficult due to her illness but the nursing staff dealt with all her problems in a most professional manner. My sister has also taken on a more "cared for" appearance
as compared and her previous time at home, when I couldn't provide all the care she required. I am very happy with her situation here. It also lifted a weight off my mind regarding her safety and well being. The staff have also shown me as a visitor, the same kindness and consideration they have shown my sister. Many thanks.

I found Kings Castle Private Nursing Home to be a clean and a well managed nursing home, that extended a great level of care for my Grandmother and support for our family and friends visiting. The home was clean, spacious and well equipped in a beautiful setting, and the staff were friendly and treated
my grandmother with dignity.

My mother has been a resident at King's Castle since December 2014 and I am extremely pleased with the care that she continues to receive. Staff members are very helpful and friendly at all times. In short, I am pleased that she is a resident here at King's Castle.

My experience has been nothing but good since my mum arrived at King's Castle Private Nursing Home. The staff introduced themselves and made us all welcome, right away a member of staff made my mum a cup of tea and toast, which she enjoyed and made her feel at ease right away. On the 25th July my mum
was 90 years young, the staff went out of their way to make it special for her and they did.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every aspect of the care for my 90 yr. old mother is excellent. The premises is very well kept but the most important element is the care by the staff. They always go well beyond what is expected, going the extra mile for all the folk concerned at every opportunity. I have no hesitation in recommending
the nursing home to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kings Castle is exemplary in every way. My mother is treated with such care, love, dignity and respect. I have had other relatives as clients and have always been very content and happy with how their needs are met. I know when family members have died in their care we have been treated with such kindness
and respect. It surely is a home from home.

My granny is in King's Castle, she loves it, and everyone who works in it have been so kind and thoughtful to her and to us when we visit her. She gets her hair done every week and this is very important to her.

My mother went to King's Castle seven weeks ago she settled very well quickly. The staff are very caring and kind to residents and visitors. Mu mother feels safe and secure and regards the Castle as her home. The food she talks about is excellent, she is happy an contented and safe. As a family we are
more than happy with the care and consideration she receives and would recommend the Castle.

Review from Richard (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 28 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
King's Castle has been shown to us as a very respectful, caring, clean place for our relations to spend their last few years, we can only thank the staff for the care and respect that has been offered to them during their stay. King's Castle and staff are second to none in their caring and respect for
their patients this in turn has taken a great responsibility off the shoulders of their families who can't thank them enough, again many thanks and may your establishment continue with all the good work and care you have shown us and our families. We were very grateful for the respect shown to us after the passing of our family members, your staff will always be in our thoughts, god bless.

I have found the staff in King's Castle to be friendly and professional at all times. The building itself is always very well maintained and decorated and visitors are always made to feel welcome. Staff are always on hand to update family members on clients health and demeanour. The staff know all clients
very well and spend as much time as possible talking to them all. The food is very nutritious and well presented to each client. This establishment could act as a great example for all others to follow.
