Review from Simon H (Respite Resident) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Lovely home in a beautiful quiet setting, couldn't be better and at a critical time fraught with difficulties.
They delivered an excellent service which partly made up for the poor service paid for over several decades from the NHS.
The care home provided an essential base for continued care unavailable

locally and has been essential for my recovery.

Reply from Morgan Hicks, Senior Customer Relations Manager at Castor Lodge Care Home

Overall Experience

Caster lodge carehome is such an amazing venue for the elderly. I also just want to say a massive thank you to Satish. Very helpful, friendly and nothing is no trouble! He made my grandmothers move such an easy process and always has a smile on his face. Thank you so much. This venue is not a 5 star.

It's a 10 star! Well done to everyone!

Overall Experience

When my father-in-law needed full-time care, we wanted to find somewhere that felt right a place where he'd be comfortable and well looked after. From the moment we visited Castor Lodge, we were really impressed. The home itself is lovely, clean and well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
What

really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone has been so friendly and caring, making sure he's happy and looked after. A special shoutout to the manager she's been absolutely fantastic.
We've had such a positive experience with Castor Lodge. It's given us real peace of mind knowing he's in good hands.

My dad was in respite for 8 weeks, I can honestly say that the home is so welcoming and friendly.
Nothing was to much trouble from any of the staff.

Review from Joanne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We visited many care homes to try to find the perfect place for our Mum including Caster Lodge. Along with its impressive appearance and beautiful rooms, more importantly we found staff interacting positively with residents. Many activities were being carried out and everyone looked so happy and content.

We spoke to several residents along with their family members and no one had a negative word to say about the care given. On this basis we decided that we had eventually found the home that Mum would hopefully be happy in. Mums mood has drastically improved since moving into her ''new home'' she has made many friends including members of staff. She will often say '"I want to stay here for ever'' I think her comments speak for themselves.

Review from Kenneth W (Respite Resident) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I recently underwent major surgery and as I am sole carer for my wife, I booked a weeks respite care for myself for the period after leaving hospital and two weeks covering that time and my stay in hospital for my wife.
This turned out to be an excellent decision. The care that I received was first

class and I was secure in the knowledge that my wife was similarly being looked after.
All of the staff were so friendly and helpful and I would recommend the home to anyone who is in need of care.

Overall Experience

My father in law was in Castor Lodge and enjoyed his stay but it seems that personal belongings go missing and nobody seems bothered about it as when he passed they had lost his gold wedding ring and wallet but they are not bothered about investigating it as we were always told the items were in the

safe but apparently it was a lie.
So it seems that sticky fingers are about.

Reply from Anita Rowley, Area Manager at Castor Lodge Care Home

We are very sorry that your family's experience at Castor Lodge did not meet our usual high standards. We thoroughly investigated your concerns, and the outcome of that investigation was shared with you as per policy and procedure. Our contracts contain clear stipulations about personal belongings and please be assured that all our staff undergo criminal checks as per the debarring and disclosure service. We thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention and once again we are deeply sorry.

Overall Experience

For a year, my friend lived in Castor Lodge Care Home and I visited him every 3 weeks or so when someone would drive me there as I am 92.
I think it would not be possible to find a better care home in the whole country. The building is spacious, very well kept and is very welcoming. Very nice meals

are provided each room cleaned daily, and lots of activities to join if residents choose. Totally first class.

Overall Experience

I came for two weeks of respite care to give my family and myself a break. I found all the residents and staff were very welcoming and Castor Lodge came to be a real home from home. The care from all the staff was excellent and the food was first-class. There were lots of inclusive activities to suit

all as well as quiet places to sit. You never feel alone here. Friends and family are always welcome. I look forward to visiting again soon.
I did have an unexpected health problem whilst I was here which was dealt with promptly and professionally to the relief of my family. Thank you.

The care and professionalism shown to my relative have been superb. All staff are caring and loving, they go above and beyond to ensure residents feel special at what is a very difficult transition.

Review from Hannah F (Respite Resident) published on 30 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I enquired about a stay at Castor Lodge Care Home to follow knee replacement surgery. I felt I needed somewhere for a short period to recover from surgery before going home. We live in a house with steep stairs and an upstairs loo!
From my initial enquiry, I was dealt with nothing but kindness, efficiency

and care.
At the last minute, my surgery was brought forward by a few days, traumatic enough in itself but I wasn't to feel I'd be anything other than welcomed when I arrived even though it was a bank holiday.
From the moment I arrived, somewhat bruised, battered and a little shocked, nothing was too much trouble.
I had all the attention I needed at the touch of a button, was always dealt with kindly and the catering was wonderful, served every mealtime in my room with a smile.
I can only thank everyone for making a traumatic experience much easier to bear. I only wish I'd been mobile enough to experience everything they had to offer. Thank you to everyone there!

Reply from Laura Mills, Customer Relations Manager at Castor Lodge Care Home

It was our absolute pleasure to look after you after your surgery and you are of course welcome if you ever need us again. Care homes aren't always about permanent care. It's to support after surgery or ill health, enabling people to return home well and cared for and ready for the next chapter.

Overall Experience

My husband went into Castor Lodge Care Home in March after four weeks in hospital.
He was very weak and frail but has made very good progress with the excellent care at Castor Lodge. Castor Lodge has all the equipment needed for his care.
As an owner of a care home and nursing home in the 70s, I

know what I am talking about when I say there is nothing to complain about at Castor Lodge.
All staff are kind and the home has a lovely atmosphere and is a pleasure to visit on a daily basis.

Overall Experience

I felt very confident about Castor Lodge Care Home from the moment I first arrived to look around. The physical environment is fabulous with the home located on the edge of a lovely village with views out over the countryside. Residents have a lot of personal space and good facilities in their individual

rooms and there are many smart and comfortable communal areas for activities and socialising, including well-kept gardens. The staff are amazing, caring, encouraging and supportive of residents and their families alike. There is always someone on hand to help and communication with the home is very easy. I have complete peace of mind that my parents are safe and cared for and their physical and emotional needs are being looked after very well.

Reply from Laura Mills, Customer Relations Manager at Castor Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much for kind words and support for staff who are indeed all amazing. With thanks, the Country Court team.
