Castlehill Care Home and its staff were dedicated and diligent in their care of my husband. They looked after him so well, caring for him and giving him his dignity in his last few weeks. They were also very kind and supportive of me.
Kind Regards.
Found my experience visiting - staff very courteous, always helpful and kind to my friend. She said the meals were good. Always nicely dressed and happy to see me.
Take care.
Kind Regards.
From reception to the manager to staff on care, everyone was fantastic.
Food excellent.
Activities good.
I honestly can't rate it highly enough.
Take care, Team Castlehill.
Acknowledging that the client found it very hard initially to be so far from home, she did settle down to the care home routine. The support from busy carers was to be commended. The client grew attached to the care staff and was well looked after. Covid has been a challenge to the care and I'm appreciative of the team's efforts.
Take care, team Castlehill.
I was met by lovely staff both at reception and again by the staff working on the floor who my friend said was lovely.
Kind Regards,
Castlehill Care Home.
They all looked after my mother so well throughout her six-week stay.
Thank you for your review; it was a pleasure. Kind Regards
Care seems good. Just staining on chair and marked walls surprised me but care seems good.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review and we note all that you write, we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the points you have raised in your review if you are agreeable, please call the care home manager or email.
The staff seem very caring and interested in the residents. It is a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere and there is no smell of urine, which I have experienced in other homes. I would be more than happy for my brother to have respite care here.
Thank you for looking after my brother.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to look after your brother.
My dad recently stayed in Castlehill Care Home for two weeks respite and from the moment we entered the building we were met with a friendly, warm and reassuring welcome. All the staff are amazing and my auntie said 'it was the best care home she had ever visited'. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dad. Can't sing your praises enough!
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to look after your dad.
Mum moved into Castlehill Care Home on the 3rd November 2021, she enjoyed life in the home and was treated like royalty by the staff. She soon made friends and enjoyed meal times where they would sit and put the world to rights. The care and nursing staff looked after Mum with a friendly smile, kind words and showed such compassion towards her until the end.
Kind Regards,
Team Castlehill
Having been transferred to Castlehill Care Home from my flat due to ongoing problems, I can say without reserve I have been looked after admirably by members of staff. I have received the utmost care and attention. I am classified as severely disabled due to problems with my legs. I can only, if marks were applicable, that I would give staff a full 100% (without hesitation).
Kind Regards
Team Castlehill
My grandma received amazing care from all the staff at Castlehill Care Home. She spent just under a year there before she sadly passed, after being given very little chance of surviving even a few months, but she flourished under the care of the staff, enjoying bingo events, making friends with other residents and attending day trips with her family. In her last few weeks she was very well cared for, never left alone and every request was fulfilled (even if staff needed to go to the shops to get the request). We will never forget the kindness myself and my husband were shown as we spent nearly three full days at the side of Grandma before she passed, the staff made sure we ate and slept as well as possible. Covid restrictions limited our time with Grandma, understandably, over the past year but Castlehill did their best to make up for that when we were allowed to visit. We miss Grandma dearly but know she was treated with dignity, even in death, and her last year was filled with fun, joy and love!
Thank you for your review; we loved having your Grandma - she was a pleasure. Take care, kind regards.
Good, honest service provided in very pleasant accommodation.
Kind Regards,
Mum has been so well looked after and given that she has a number of challenging issues following a stroke and then the onset of vascular dementia, it is clear each time I visit that staff are well aware of Mum's limitations and difficulties.
Recently, I have had to ask the carers to come to my assistance when visiting Mum and each time I have witnessed wonderful interactions with Mum. They clearly know her well and how to help. Each one being calm and kind and taking time to help when I am very aware of how busy they are.
What a wonderful team!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
We were very pleased to hear Mum when leaving say - she was looking forward to her next respite visit/stay. She said the staff could not do enough for her - they were very attentive to her needs.
Thank you Castlehill Care Home!
Thank you for your lovely review. It is a pleasure to look after you all and look forward to another visit soon. Kind regards.
Due to current Covid restrictions, there have been few activities which is understandable.
Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure to care for Mum. Kind regards.
My mother was a resident in Castlehill Care Home for only a short time, and the care she received was excellent. All the staff I came across from the welcome at the door, the handyman and all the carers were so caring. Knowing that my mother was so well cared for eased the concerns of all the family. The home is so well presented and all the staff so cheerful, and nothing seems a bother to them. I would highly recommend this home to anyone considering long term care.
Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to meet you all, and Mum was an absolute pleasure to care for.
My mother is very happy at Castlehill and seems to be far more alert. She loves the food and enjoys the company of other residents. The staff are very approachable and helpful. When you phone to make an appointment to visit, you feel part of the home when you are spoken to by name on the phone. When you arrive at the home, you are greeted warmly and made to feel welcome.
Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure to care for Mum here.
My brother was in Castlehill Care Home for over two years and was very happy there. The staff were his family all the time he was there. The girls always enjoyed the banter with him as he had a brilliant sense of humour. I would highly recommend Castlehill to anyone.
We loved having you all as our extended family at Castlehill.
I was a charge nurse in a large hospital, my standards were very high, as required by the hospital. The standards in Castlehill Care Home are excellent. Residents are well cared for in a friendly atmosphere. They are shaved and have clean clothing in place, as they should be. I just want my brother cared for with the essentials of everyday living in place since he can not do this himself.
It is a pleasure to look after your brother.
We look forward to your next visit.
