A lovely visit showing how excellently my friend is being looked after. From an initial phone call to the swift welcome, and then the time with my friend. The team was efficient, unobtrusive, helpful, and always incredibly kind. We were offered refreshments and help at every stage. My friend is loving
the home! Great job - well done!

Castle View is like a five-star hotel.

The room is ver comfortable and has a lovely view over the hills.
My room is kept spotlessly clean.
The staff are always cheerful and nothing is too much trouble for them.
All in all, I am extremely

Review from E B (Wife of Resident) published on 10 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband was in Castle View for three weeks whilst I attended a family wedding. He did not altogether enjoy the experience. The savory food he felt was not of a good standard- he is not a big eater but he complained that meat portions were extremely small. I told the manageress- she contacted the
person in charge of the kitchen who replied to me that they would see to the problem. However, when I got my husband home he said the portions did not improve! The other problem was buzzers going off constantly in the corridor- very stressful for the residents. I understand why they have them in the rooms but when one resident is constantly using the buzzer surely it should be isolated and the nurses make a point of checking that person on a regular basis.

Mom has lived in Castle View Care Home for over 1 year now and both she and all the family are extremely satisfied with the level of care. All the staff are professional, easygoing, friendly, and go the extra mile. It made Moms stay feel like home. They will always say hello and stop by for a chat.
Thank you for everything you do - it is very reassuring for us to know Mom is so well cared for.

Review from Peter A (Resident) published on 4 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been a resident here for 3 1/2 years and my wife 4 years. During this time, we have had 3 managers, sometimes standards have ranged from poor to exceptional, but on the whole satisfactory. The nurses, carers and supporting staff on the whole are very caring, with our manager showing the way and
with many staff going out of their way to be helpful, in spite of being occasionally short-staffed. Noise from televisions and doors slamming are constant, problems as sound insulation seems non-existent. But overall, I would at present recommend the nursing home.

My father continues to be very happy at Castle View Nursing Home. He is a very quiet and shy man who doesn't like to take part in group activities but I and the activities organiser try to encourage him. I hope they have success as it concerns me sometimes that he is isolated. Regardless, he enjoys
his chats with staff and it is a blessing that he really likes all the staff. They are incredibly friendly and caring.

Review from Barbara G (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mother cannot stand or walk therefore totally reliant on staff. Qualified nurses are, on the whole excellent, caring and compassionate, carrying out any interventions professionally. All staff are pleasant but carers not always 'caring' e.g items such as call bell, telephone etc left out of reach.
I recently found Mum with faeces under and around her nails suggesting that she had not been washed properly. The food is plonked in front of her but she cannot cut up many foods and uses her fingers to eat! The water jug is not changed regularly. Mum describes some staff as 'rough' when dressing her and putting her in her chair. The table in front of Mum is not cleaned.

Everyone has been kind to my husband, giving him quality of life in the last stages of dementia. Also, giving him dignity which I really appreciate.

Hi, I was very pleased with my stay at Castle View. The accommodation was what I expected. The only quibble was that the riser recliner chair was small -I am six foot- but I managed ok.
The staff were very good, knowledgable and helpful.
The food was good.
The only small quibble was that there
were not much activities. Generally, it was very good.

Recently, I was a resident in Castle View Nursing Home for eleven weeks during which time I had ample opportunity to experience to activities of all staff members. As a qualified nurse of many years, it was interesting to note the finer points of care I received from the nursing staff which was excellent.
The carers were helpful, friendly yet professional, making the ethos of the home a comfortable one and this enables me to recommend this home very highly.

My mother has been a resident for about 17 months. I don't live on the Isle of Man, but visited her just recently. The care is first-rate. Most notably, the degree of interest, interaction, compassion, and love demonstrated by the staff is outstanding. It's clear that Mom is respected, and the staff
couldn't have been more welcoming to me during my visit. A truly warm and spirited environment.

The staff at Castle View Nursing Home facilitated a rapid, smooth transition for Mum from the hospital into a lovely room in their care home. Within just a couple of days we saw a massive positive turnaround in Mum and she sparked back with all her humour, quips and fond memories.
The staff treat

Our mum has settled well since November and the team has been professional and attentive to Mum who likes her new environment.
The transition from Mum's residential home to Castle View Nursing Home has been smooth. It was obvious Mum's key nurse had read and understood Mum's notes and could refer
to specific medications. He was open to our input when discussing Mum's care plans which were detailed and showed understanding of Mum's character and condition. We discussed the flu jab which he prompted us to talk about and Mum has since agreed to having the flu jab.

Review from Susan C (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 October 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is very modern and well kept. The home is due to get more staff which will help the current staff and the level of interaction with residents. The home has a very helpful receptionist who is a credit to the home. One of the nurses in charge in the dementia section is fantastic. If you had a
home full of her style of nursing looking after patients it would be an even better environment.
Castle View Nursing Home is a good care home and is always looking to provide the best care for residents. The only downside is the lack of activities which minimises interaction. Perhaps the new staff due will turn this only negative point around.

Mum spent approximately eighteen months living at Castle View Nursing Home and within that time received great kindness and care from all the wonderful staff. Even during difficult Covid times, they went out of their way to look after our mum. Sadly Mum recently passed away but the fact that she saw

Mum has been a resident for 9 years in Castle View. She was very happy there from the start, engaging in all the activities and enjoying concerts etc. Her care has always been good and the staff have always worked with me over decisions as her dementia has progressed. She continues to be well looked
after by a team of highly trained carers and nurses who have been severely challenged over the last two years. Well done to the Manager and all the staff for dealing with the frustrations, heartbreak and other endless challenges that came with Covid.

My mother has lived in Castle View Nursing Home since September 2013 so this September it will be nine years! She celebrated her 101st birthday last month and although, due to Covid-19 restrictions, I was unable to be there in person (I am almost 80-years-old and live in Bristol) I enjoyed sharing this
important landmark with her via the nursing home Skype video. Mother is a very happy and contented resident which is testimony to both her own pragmatic and positive attitude to life and, most importantly, to the care all the staff give to not only her but to all the residents in their care. Castle View aims to make life as close as possible to living in one’s own home. They reach their target! Thank you Castle View for everything!

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 4.6 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.612 for Castle View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 317 Ratings = 4.612
  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 Castle View Care Home is based on 26 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
