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.

Review from Michael M (Friend of Resident) published on 15 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
I visited a friend of mine who I had not seen since before the pandemic, due to not living locally, and I was pleasantly surprised at the zest for life she seems to have since moving in. She is cheerful and smiling and can’t praise the staff enough.

I was met by lovely staff both at reception and again by the staff working on the floor who my friend said was lovely.

Overall Experience
Difficult to understand limited visiting times - even after Covid-19. Difficult to access without the short visiting hours permitted. Phone sometimes not answered and therefore no access given.

Care seems good. Just staining on chair and marked walls surprised me but care seems good.

Review from Stella J (Sister of Resident) published on 2 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The home's overall appearance is of a five-star hotel!
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.

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!

Review from Glenn L (Son of Resident) published on 10 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Thank you for your lovely review. Your mum was a pleasure to care for and the other residents are all missing her stories!

Review from Stuart F (Resident / Service User) published on 10 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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).

Review from Deborah T (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 14 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Elizabeth L (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum has been in Castlehill Care Home since April of 2021. Initially, it was for much-needed respite for me and it soon became clear to us all she would need to stay. Initially, I found everything very traumatic and emotionally challenging. This process was made much easier by the kindness of all the staff and in particular, the manager was very accessible, helpful and reassured me that Mum was fine.
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!

My mum received excellent care and attention from the manager and all her staff during Mum's respite stay.
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!

The staff are very helpful and go out of their way to help. Rooms are well kept and have everything that is required. Would recommend this facility to anyone that was seeking to place a relative.

Due to current Covid restrictions, there have been few activities which is understandable.

Review from Marion M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.
