Review from S M (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother was extremely frail when she went into Casterbridge after being in the hospital. She was treated with great dignity and kindness by all the staff. The home is well managed, clean and adheres to good hygiene standards. The local area is lovely, and there's a garden that residents can spend time in, although unfortunately, Mum wasn't well enough to do that. The kindness and support Mum and our family got during her final days is something that will stay with me forever; I cannot express how much that meant to us. Mum had been in a lot of pain before going into Casterbridge, but the medical attention was very good, and her pain was controlled, including at the end. When we clap for carers now; I always think of the staff at this home.

Review from Anne J (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father, who was over 100 years old was looked after here for nearly four weeks initially needing just residential care, but soon nursing care until he passed. Almost as soon as he arrived, he became more relaxed due to the care and attention and as the burden of his care was lifted from his 93-year-old wife. The staff in both the residential and nursing sections were amazing, friendly efficient and very caring both for my father and myself and my mother when we visited. Towards the end, we were there every day and often overnight and the care and support for us all during this difficult stage was outstanding. Both my mother and I could not have wished for a better place for my father’s final days.

Review from P B (Wife of Resident) published on 15 February 2017 Submitted via Review Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband has severe Alzheimers and when he arrived at Casterbridge Manor in January 2016 he had a nasty urinary tract infection. He was treated with gentle care and dignity and his physical state improved daily. Unfortunately, his Alzheimers will not improve but his needs carefully met and he responds to the cheerful affection of his carers. The home is welcoming and attractive.

Overall Experience

The Manor is a beautiful place, providing a lovely secure garden and many outings and things to do. If anything happens to my mother, either minor or major, notification is always given. Dignity to the residents is always held and care and support given. I always feel she is in golden hands!
