The home seemed to be well maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere. The facilities seemed to be fairly comfortable and provided residents with suitable spaces to relax. We were grateful for the care + dedication provided.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is lovely to hear that you found our staff to be compassionate, respectful and understanding and I will ensure that I pass this onto the team.
I had a most pleasant review which really amounted to a good chat! As I had no issues to be dealt with. Should anything arise to remind me, I do not hesitate to contact our deputy manager or manager. Both of whom act upon it. I have no complaints, and I am very happy here. Sincerely, Janet.

The staff all l9ve him and he is very fond of them....probably with favourites who enjoy his interests too. Dad doesn't come out of his room for his meals and the staff all know know his likes and dislikes from the menu and Chef is very accommodating and provides Dad with other options. Dad's is diabetic and has been for 25years and has been very up and down for all of that time....but now he has come to Bothwell it is more under control than it's ever been...and the staff know Dad's particularly signs of a hypo and they're on it right away.
All the staff couldn't be more helpful to Dad or to us as a family. Dad's been there almost 2years now...he seems very settled...and that's what matters....and makes us happy too!
Thank you for your kind words. We truly appreciate your feedback, and it is wonderful to hear how well the staff at Bothwell Castle recognise and support your Dad's needs.

We are kept up to date with all communication.
Activities are varied and our mum is encouraged to participate and she enjoys them.
Meals and menus are cooked and served with care in a lovely dining environment.
Personal care is excellent,
However at times there needs to be more care and respect for her personal belongings when accessing her wardrobe and drawers .
We are always made to feel welcome by the whole team .
Staffing has definitely improved and it's nice to see regular team members creating a friendly and family feel.
Thank you for your kind words. The staff team at Bothwell Castle are working hard to ensure residents are well care for and family's feel supported. At Bothwell Castle we are very lucky to be supported by such a great GP practice and Care Liaison Team. Thank you for you feedback on personal belongings. We will continue to listen to feedback and improve on what we do.

When my mum is in Bothwell I can enjoy my respite.
Thank you to all the staff for her care.
Thank you for your kind words. This means a lot to the team at Bothwell Castle. We are happy to support with short term care to give you some well deserved respite time.

The team at Bothwell Castle demonstrated compassion and unending patience. Their nursing care is excellent when Dad needs it for chronic and acute conditions. The social care team are kind, go about their work with care and a sense of humour.
Also must mention the laundry team who look after clothing as if it was their own.
Dad is now settled and his physical health and mobility are better than last year.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is lovely to hear that you have found the team here at Bothwell Castle to be kind and compassionate as this aligns with our company values which are at the heart of everything that we do. I will share your review with the wider team as they are always very appreciative of positive feedback.
After being in hospital for 9 weeks, the hospital recommended that mum move to a 24 hour nursing dementia care facility. We were distressed as a family about making this decision but knew it was in her best interests. We visited a number of nursing homes and Bothwell Castle Care Home stood out in...
When mum initially moved in she was extremely agitated, would not sit still for 2 minutes!! All staff have been fantastic with her, from the ancillary staff, carers, nurses, hairdressers, admin and management team.
The difference in mum over the last couple of months has been great, she is now settled, content in her surroundings and enjoys getting out to events organised by the home.
We are welcomed warmly by staff when we visit and they are always available to answer any questions or to just give us an update on how mum has been. 5 stars from me!!
Thank you so much for your kind review. It is heart-warming to hear that the team at Bothwell Castle have made such a positive difference to both your mum and the family from the point of your initial visit and continue to do so.

My sister and I were very stressed trying to find a suitable care home to accept mum's basic nursing needs & dementia care. Having visited 12 care homes we were loosing hope when Marion welcomed us and made the whole process seamless. Within one week Mum was transferred from hospital and warmly welcomed by all staff. All staff from cleaning staff to senior nursing staff could not have been nicer and were very professional.
Sadly Mum only had 10 days in the care home and it was at a difficult time over Christmas, however our family was so comforted that her end of life care was handled professionally & compassionately. Not only was Mum looked after and cared for, but our whole family. We were made to feel part of the family and community at Bothwell Castle. A special thank you to Caroline & Stephanie and all staff in Castle Court. We so appreciated in the short time Mum was there all your excellent care.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It is lovely to hear that our staff provided comfort and compassion at such a difficult time. I will be sure to pass this on to the team in Castlegate.
Mum has only been in Bothwell Castle for 3 days and already the difference in her mood, mobility is 100% different its really good to see such an improvement so quickly.

My father stayed in Bothwell Castle Care home for a period of 8 weeks. 10 days in he had had several falls, despite numerous discussions with staff in relation to my dad's poor vision and confusion due to his dementia. His basic needs in respect of skin care and presentation were totally ignored. He lost so much weight as he was not being supported properly at mealtimes.
My mother was assaulted when visiting, they denied the circumstances leading up to the assault.
I have never met such a spiteful, hostile and bullying culture in a care home in either my professional or personal experience.
I am a retired Social Worker.
We complained about the poor quality of care, the response, my father was asked to leave. The staff also hampered access to other care home placements. When leaving, NOT ONE staff member came to say goodbye to my beloved father.
HORRIBLE ENVIRONMENT.

Mum in Bothwell Castle for two weeks respite and her first experience of a care home. Thankfully, she had glowing reports of her experience there. I spoke with her daily and although it took her a few days to adjust, mum had nothing but praise for the kind and generous staff as nothing was too much trouble. She particularly enjoyed the comfort and security of people around her, the lovely meal choices, the decor and cleanliness and the Friday entertainment. Thank you to everyone for taking such good care of my mum, she said she would go back anytime!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so pleased that your mum had such a positive experience and we look forward to welcoming her back.
Cannot fault the care home in any way, from reception to activity, to care staff, to house care. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and true.
We are all made to feel like one big family. Could not have chosen a better place for my mum to be cared for. First Class.

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care and compassion shown to my mum over the past six years. The standard of care has never faltered and continues to exceed our expectations. So many dedicated staff work tirelessly, delivering not just excellent care but doing so with warmth, empathy, and a gentle touch. My mum has formed lovely bonds with many of the team, especially one staff member in particular, whose kindness and natural connection with her is wonderful to see. I'm always kept informed about my mum's wellbeing, which brings real peace of mind. Thank you for all that you do - your dedication and compassion make a lasting difference. Please never underestimate the value you bring to the lives of your residents.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly grateful for your thoughtful review and are so pleased to hear that you have a positive experience with the care provided. It means a great deal to our team to know that our efforts are making a difference. Your support and feedback inspire us to continue delivering high quality care every day. Regards
Homely accommodation with caring staff who know their people. Always welcoming and flexible. Keep relatives informed if required. It is not 'home' and has limitations based on realistic issues - but is a very good 'second best' for my mum.

On the whole, a good care home. However, extremely expensive and staffing levels, at times, not high enough. More attention needs to be paid to retention of staff. Dignity and respect are always displayed but more attention needs to be given to encouraging routine where possible and documenting sleep patterns, fluid intake. For dementia patients/clients, more attention needs to be given to encouraging fluids when the person is unable to initiate this.
Hi Lesley, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate hearing about your concerns regarding fluid intake and sleep patterns.
