Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having checked many care homes we finally found Castor Lodge. We were warmly welcomed on our visit, shown around the home and discussed all the ins and outs. We were given a homely welcome when my wife came in for respite. We have enjoyed the open and family feeling of the home and continued my wife's
stay.

He has been looked after so well since he came here as one of the first residents. From the outset, he was treated as a member of the 'Castor Lodge' family.

Just walking through the front door was an experience. One couldn’t fail to be impressed.
Even six-stars would be inadequate. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly, and the decor is exquisite. It would be a privilege to reside there.
Reply from Laura Mills, Customer Relations Manager at Castor Lodge Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words and very glad your visit to us went well. We look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The facilities are superb and mirror those in a five-star hotel. Coupled with these are caring and attentive staff, good food and lovely rooms and grounds. Covid restrictions limit visits and activities, but staff do their best to provide activities for residents. The manager, in particular, took time
to listen to us and help in contacting relatives living abroad. We are very impressed indeed.
Reply from Nogi John, Home Manager at Castor Lodge Care HomeThank you for taking the time to write a review for Castor Lodge Care Home. We appreciate all comments and feedback. We are delighted to hear how pleased you are with our home and the facilities at Castor Lodge. It is our pleasure to care for your loved one as part of our Castor Lodge family, and I will pass your kind comments on to the staff team. We are all eagerly anticipating the easing of Covid restrictions, which will hopefully permit us to open to more visitors and enable the provision of an even greater breadth of activities and outings for residents.

I cannot praise the team at Castor Lodge Care Home more highly.
From the moment I first made my enquiry with the customer relations manager regarding my mother coming into Castor Lodge my experience has been wonderful.
Every question was answered, my tour was wonderful and the ongoing support and
comfort from all the staff at a very difficult and emotional transition has been exceptional.
The nursing care which is needed for my mother is also so good.
My mother is settling in well as a result of all the support, kindness, friendly, smiling faces at Castor Lodge.
Reply from Laura Mills, Customer Relations Manager at Castor Lodge Care HomeThank you for taking the time to write a review for Castor Lodge, we are delighted that you are pleased with the welcome your family has received. It's wonderful to see your mother settling in so well to life at Castor Lodge. I will pass on your kind comments to the staff team.

Myself and Mum had a horrid time at another home. The difference with Castor is unbelievable and can’t thank them enough.
We never wanted this to happen and not be at home but to see my mum smile again and for me not to cry on leaving is priceless.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.682)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.682) out of 10 for Castor Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.757 for Castor Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.757
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castor Lodge Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
